Longines - Vintage ( 1972 ) Admiral HF Caliber 431 High Beat
Longines first attempt at a 36,000 beats per hour movement made from 1966 till a lot of years later. If you can find one in good shape, just remember that it will need some service at regular intervals to run well. Several years later Longines made this caliber how it was ment to be. I like the ticking from this caliber. 10 times each second WoW what a beauty put it to your ear and listen.
The case / movement can be simply removed by unscrew the crown and lightly pushing on the glass.
