To honour the company's 120 years of experience in sports timekeeping in an exceptional way, Longines produced the "Honour and Glory" set in a limited edition of 600 pieces in 1999. The commemorative set includes a pocket watch chronograph from 1968, Reference L7.886.4.73.0, and a specially designed automatic steel chronograph with leather strap, Reference L.7885.4.73.2. The pocket watch is a rare split-seconds constant-force chronograph with nonius hands and equipped with movement calibre L262. This pocket watch chronograph has been used by Longines at major world sporting events since 1968, such as the Grenoble Winter Olympics. Longines describes the calibre 262 as the most accurate movement ever made by Longines. The nonius hand is a Longines patent and can only be found on this watch. The wrist chronograph was specially developed for this set and was therefore only available in this combination. It also has a nonius hand. Inside is the automatic calibre L674.8, which is visible through the glassed back.
