Swiss watchmaker Longines has unveiled a new special edition Chronograph 1/100th St. Moritz timepiece to celebrate its title of Official Watch of the famous ski resort.
Created for sports that require high-precision timing, the 1/100th watch is said to offer a unique movement by using the latest generation technologies. The watch measures multiple intermediary times and has an analogue display that shows the time to one hundredth of a second using a separate hand. A new quartz movement, L440, has been exclusively developed for Longines by manufacturer ETA, said to allow for an “extreme level of precision”.

Other features include a microcontroller with a flash memory that is said to allow the watch to be reset instantly and enable intermediary times to be recorded. The steel watch, which has a diameter of 41mm, also features a silver face that displays hours, minutes, small seconds at six o’clock, the date, a central seconds hand, a 30-minute stopwatch at two o’clock and a 12-hour stopwatch at ten o’clock. The hand in yellow displays time to one hundredth of a second.
Touches of yellow and blue on the hands, dial and flange subtly echo the iconic logo of St. Moritz, which is also engraved on the case back. The model is fitted with a steel bracelet and a butterfly clasp
