Nice movement and nice case

Sorry to be a party spoiler but I 'd be much more reserved about the autenticity of the dial. Difficult to say from your picture tough. There is a certain lack of lustre generally and lack of depth of the sub-counters.
Original transitional 13ZN with original enamelled dial are very rare. There are more fakes than originals around.
It is therefore sane to excercise prudence.

A small beauty: Longines 13 ZN Enamel.
By: amanico : May 23rd, 2014-14:06
2 big assets: The enamel dial, amazingly deep and " rich ", and the case / bezel. The blue hands are complimenting the Watch in a very nice way, and bring this appreciable touch of life. As every 13 ZNs, the movement is superb. One of the nicest in the vi...
13ZN and enameled dial... a complete jewell from Longines...

... what a beauty my dear Nicolas! I know it would be nicer with longer lugs, but it would make me very happy just "as is"!! Lol! Thanks for sharing my friend, and have a great week end! Afectuosamente, Abel.

The enamel dial, case design, movement and blued hands won me over. Agree it is a tad small although for someone with my small wrist it is ok I think. Any modern homage versions from Longines, Nico? Thanks for the post! Cheers Robin
13 ZN + Enamel dial is...

The perfect combination. I understand your wish to be 2-3 mm larger but sometimes you need to compromise... I like it a lot. Regards, Constantin
Why should it be bigger?
By: SteveW : May 24th, 2014-00:38
The case perfectly matches the size of the movement. The dial is clear and uncrowded and perfectly legible at this size. What's wrong with people, are they afraid their manhood would be suspect? I would never pass on such a beautiful watch simply because ...
Little jewel!

Thank you for sharing but 36 mm is where I draw a line :) Cheers D
Nice movement and nice case

What a nice & classic Chrono ! .. However, the issues..
By: hs111 : May 24th, 2014-10:03
.. with the short lugs and overall size won't go away.. The other thing, which I would have to get used to, are these specific "classic" fonts on the dial, almost like Calligraphy. - for me almost a bit too much " Retro".. The enamel, and the " deux compt...
If the lugs were much longer, yes, I would not have a problem.
By: amanico : May 25th, 2014-09:21
Therefore, when it comes to 13 ZN, it is possible to find them with a bigger case. The size is generally not a problem for me, as I own many watches which are between 33 to 37 mm, but when there is a bigger choice, with some nice dials, well, you know... ...
Magnificent timepiece....
By: Darren : May 26th, 2014-19:38
but have to wonder - is that dial original? I feel like I see so many re-done vintage Longines chrono enamel dials that it's hard to know which are real and which have issues. This one looks right to me, but what do I know? Thanks for posting. Darren
Maybe a future re-edition?
By: Marcus Hanke : May 29th, 2014-15:32
Longines is launching so many re-editions, so this one, but also with an enamel dial, would indeed be gorgeous! Oh, I forgot: and a date-window is a must!!!!! Marcus
Beautiful chronograph!
By: lhk1 : June 14th, 2014-02:06
13 ZN is as beautiful as Venus movement. Plus enamel dial, what can I say? In this case, small size does not really matter. Regards Ling
Nicolas, I am back.
