LONGINES Regatta Chronograph ref.8224-4 cal.332 (Valjoux 726 base)

The Longines Regatta Chronograph.

A large diver's chronograph created in the late 1970s for those who race on the water.

To raise water resistance it uses screw-down construction on both the caseback and the front — a heavyweight watch built to cope with pressure.

Orange gauges and chronograph hands stand out against a matt black dial.

They were designed to catch the eye and guide a decision made in an instant.

The lume on indexes and hands keeps its glow across the years, speaking for its own existence along with the decades that have passed.

An inner bezel operated by the crown at ten o'clock.

A countdown bezel is fitted, its orange gauge running from 20 down to zero to mark the boundary of time.

In the limited time underwater, it signals the moment of decision — a guide for acting without hesitation.

Longines: a name woven continuously since 1832.

The winged hourglass logo is one of the oldest registered trademarks of any watchmaker.

In 1896 it timed the modern Olympic Games as official timekeeper, and the navigation watch designed by Charles Lindbergh after his transatlantic flight was also brought to life by Longines.

That tradition and pride still shine today, within the Swatch Group.
