A stunning vintage Longines Sportchief watch. It has a beautiful yet straightforward factory original dial in excellent condition—professionally serviced calibre 701 manual wind movement with serial number 13185159, dating this watch to 1966. The solid stainless steel case is in very good unpolished condition with personal engraving. The case model is 7632-1 and measures 34mm across, excluding the crown by 41.4mm lug tip to lug tip. The crystal is new and a new case gasket. It will come with a new 18mm 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. Since the crown is small, the best method to wind this watch is to grab hold of the crown using the tip of your thumb and index fingers, and then turn to wind it.
