Watch: Gents Longines Wrist Watch 1937

The watch has a 15-jewel calibre 12.68Z hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 5,620,394 which dates it back to 1937. The watch measures 31mm wide excluding the winding crown, and 31mm high excluding the wire lugs. The case is Staybrite, an alloy with a very high chromium content. The case is in good condition for a 1930s piece, just surface marking but not too serious at all. The lens is in lovely condition. The dial is in its original finish, and it has the Longines name over the subsidiary seconds dial, albeit faded. The dial has darkened with age. Original hands. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a later Longines presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please cost us regarding international shipping costs.
