Olympic Games/ 1972 - 1984 / Munich, Los Angeles - Lot 163

Olympic Games/ 1972 - 1984 / Munich, Los Angeles Timekeeping (longines) Size: 12.5 x10 x 4cm. Good condition. The battle for the Olympic timekeeping sponsorship contract is a sporting chase between the major brands seeking this precious label (Omega, Tag-Heuer, Longines...). Who's going to get the pump and not steal the start, down to the last thousandth of a second? With this Longines 1/10 split-seconds model, we're reliving a little of this: in its shock-proof case, under its reinforced pentagonal case opening sideways to the left as soon as we press one of the three vertical buttons... A jewel that has officiated at major competitions, including perhaps the Olympic Games of 1972 or 84. With double blue mention, recto-verso.
