Restoration of this Longines, having special 13ZN movement with central minutes recorder, was particularly difficult.It had various problems.The main problem was the cronograph hand axle collapsed.Which was reconstructed by means of a lathe.Other problems : rust on blue steel hands,original winding crown missing. Movement was serviced, hands were cleaned and added with luminous paste shade matching dial indexes. Winding crown was rebuilt by milling machine matching original shape.
