…des suspicions pèsent sur ce modèle ....

En effet… ouch…
"Longines Watch Co., Werk Nr. 51118337, Ref. 8226-2, Cal. 332, 38 mm, circa 1968. A fine aviator's wristwatch with chronograph. (Case: steel, three-body, screw back, reeded turnable bezel, Longines buckle. Dial: black, luminous Arabic numerals, auxiliary seconds, 30 min. and 12h counter, luminous baton hands. Movm.: 2/3 plate movement, rhodium-plated, ground, 17 jewels, polished screws, ground chronograph steel parts, ratchet wheel, Glucydur balance, blued hairspring, shock protection for balance)."

So I sent the details to the Longines Archives and they said:

Watch with serial number 51’118’337 is a wrist watch in stainless steel, case reference 8226
It has been produced in 1971
It is equipped with a movement calibre 332, hand-winding, chronograph.

So the dealers have so far said it was made in "circa 1940" (wrong), 1955 (wrong) and 1968 (close but wrong) and a cal.332 (wrong).

As yet Longines have not confirmed that the case is incorrect. But judging from the scans I have found for other 8226-2's it doesn't look similar at all"
