Longines dives into the world of carbon cases with the Ultra-Chron Carbon

- ASHOK SOMAN

ULTRA TIMER

If you are the sort of enthusiast who looks for shockers in unexpected places, the Longines Ultra-Chron Carbon must be very enticing indeed. Typically, you would expect to see a watch in carbon at Tissot (where it already acquits itself well in a different form) or perhaps Omega (where it remains absent) but not at the retrolicious Longines. Before we saw this watch, we had a meeting planned with Longines CEO Matthias Breschan and we sent a flurry of questions, mostly about the rich history of the brand and its ability to make this past relevant again. Well, Longines has never made a watch like this…ever. We shall be steering our conversation with Breschan in a slightly different direction now.
