Beautiful looking movement and a column wheel chrono as opposed to a cam and lever chrono e.g. Valjoux/ETA 7750.
Good article comparing the two types here

I was recently looking at the current Longines Heritage Chrono range, those too are column wheel chronos.

Not sure that I really understand the technology, but I’ve heard that column wheels are better than cam shifted movements. In any case, that’s a beautiful movement. Thanks for posting, Bernie, and welcome back!

I've also looked at column wheel chronographs, the Longines too actually.
Great looking movement, thanks for posting it Bernie
