Made in-house from 1936, the Longines Caliber 13 ZN was the first ever chronograph made with flyback function and has become one of the brand's most sought after calibers amongst collectors. Considering the close involvement of Longines in the production of aviation timepieces, such a watch was a natural progression.
Its purpose is to allow resetting of the chronograph while in operation in situations like flying where speed of reset is of the essence. In a standard chronograph the hand must be started, stopped and reset by separate actions.
The present watch’s dial is marked Suiza beneath the Longines branding. This was done for watches sent to the South American market. Longines Extract from Archives stating that this timepiece was invoiced on 20 February 1946 to Danero, which was at that time the Longines agent for Uruguay.
