Cal. 58 is one of a family of cam-switching chronograph movements produced by Landeron from 1937 through the 1970s. In all, over 3.5 million examples were produced. Cal. 58 is similar to the original member of the family, Cal. 48, but with a calendar complication added.

Unlike other movements in the family it uses a traditional horizontal clutch to activate the chronograph function.
