This is a beautiful and rare vintage Longines watch. It has an attractive 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 23M manual wind movement with serial number 6472484, dating this watch to 1942. The serviced movement is in excellent condition. The solid stainless steel case is in unpolished original condition. The case model is 22333 (144) and measures 33mm across, excluding the crown by 41mm lug tip to lug tip. 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 brand new 16mm handmade genuine leather strap. Rare and well-preserved vintage Longines similar to this are scarce in today's market. The wrist size in the 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 their collection.
