This is a very attractive and rare vintage Longines watch. It has a beautiful and extra clean military-style factory original dial. Very seldom will you come across a Longines dial of this era looking this great. Professionally serviced Longines calibre 10.68 manual wind movement with serial number 6046037, dating this watch to 1940. The serviced movement is in excellent condition. The solid stainless steel case is in unpolished original condition. The case model is 2525 (93) and measures 30mm across, excluding the crown by 37mm lug tip to lug tip. This is a rare "Tre-Tacche" case with the enviable step-bezel. The luminous on the dial and hands are original, but, of course, no longer glow. The watch will come with a brand-new crystal. The crown is unsigned but original to this watch. It will come with a vintage bamboo bracelet that will fit up to a 7.5-inch wrist nicely. Rare and well preserved vintage Longines similar to this is scarce in today's market. Wrist size in photo is 6 inches. It is a smaller size watch made for a smaller size wrist or for someone who is looking for a WW2 era timepiece or a Longines collector looking to add another rare find to his/her collection.
