The longines column wheel self winding chronograph movement caliber l788 2 eta a08 l11 was first introduced in 2012 in a watch that was resolutely archaic in inspiration and design and we liked that design very much when we first saw it. The l688 2 automatic chronograph movement features a blued steel column wheel 27 jewels and accentuating decoration. The longines heritage column wheel single push piece chronograph is hard to beat at a price of 3 150.

The heritage monopusher chronograph from montblanc combines two stories in one timepiece but this does not justify its much higher price compared to the hanhart. This movement is used in the heritage 1973 while a variation. Eta specifically created this new and exclusive movement for longines to incorporate the column wheel which is considered superior for a chronograph s operation. This is inline with longines other watches such as the glorious heritage 1973 we reviewed last year and is to be expected from a swiss made automatic chronograph meant for retail.
