52 Years Old Vintage Longines Conquest OLYMPIC GAMES MUNICH 1972 Ref. 86141 / Cal. 334 / Vintage1972

EVW PRODUCT NR: 1988

The 1972 Munich Olympics are historically significant for several reasons. First of all, there was the attack of the was Palestinian terrorist group called Black September that took eleven Israeli Olympic team members hostage and killed them along with a West German police officer. Secondly, there was also a disputable Soviet victory in Olympic basketball finals. With less than 10 seconds remaining, the Soviets led by just one point. With Collins’ successful free throw, the Americans took the lead just three seconds before the final buzzer. The Longines timekeeper Andre Chopard was instructed to reset the clock. The result was a chaotic ending, culminating with the Soviets scoring again and winning 51-50. No American basketball team had ever lost an Olympic match up to that point. The Americans felt cheated and they never accepted their silver medals. They remain in the Olympic museum in Lausanne to this day.

DESCRIPTION & Specifications of the watch

MODEL: 52 Vintage Longines OLYMPIC GAMES MUNICH 1972 Ref. 86141 / Cal. 334

Not everyone has the opportunity to wear a beautiful 50 years old watch from a renowned brand.

MOVEMENT: Manual winding high grade cal. 334 based on 17 Jewels and 21600 A/h vibrations per hour. The Longines Conquest Munich 1972 was given reference number 8614. It was also available with the silver dial. But I consider this blue one to be the one with the best execution. It is powered by a Longines caliber 334, which was based on the Valjoux 236. I think the Conquest Munich 1972 models are still a bit overlooked. Longines, a quality Valjoux-based movement and thoughtful design with a strong attitude.
