Column-Wheel Chronograph : L2.742.4.76.2

The Longines Column-Wheel Chronograph, reference L2.742.4.76.2, is a distinguished member of the brand's Heritage collection, introduced to celebrate the timeless appeal of traditional watchmaking. This model features a 39 mm stainless steel case that houses a silvered dial, complemented by rose gold Arabic numerals and hour markers that evoke a classic aesthetic reminiscent of the early 20th century.
