Longines watch from 1957


A vintage Longines wrist watch with one of the nicest manual movements used during the 1940’s and 50’s.
The solid stainless steel case has a very long profile with its extended lugs. The case has been detailed and is in excellent condition.
The restored satin silver dial is highlighted by gold coloured arrowhead hour markers that are replaced with stylized Arabic numerals at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock markers in what has been popularized by the Rolex Explorer.
The watch also features a detailed sub-seconds chapter in the bottom half of the dial. The 17 jewel Longines manual wind caliber 12.68Z movement was just serviced and is keeping great time. The 10,400,xxx serial number on the movement roughly dates the watch to 1957.
Overall a lovely and durable vintage watch that has all the styling cues people look for in a vintage piece, yet tough enough to wear everyday. from.http://www.yorktime.com/search?cid=21:sku=129
