What We Fancy

A truly beautiful dress watch from Longines golden era. The Scientific Dial is perfectly broken up into different sectors while the applied gold markers & tonal chapter ring glisten at different angles. At 36mm and large dial, this piece wears comfortably on the wrist.

Condition: In overall excellent original condition. The dial is really good for its age and only has a few noticeable defects. Often times with these older Longines dials, they patina and the print fades over time. This one remains very sharp. The case is good with some small superficial scratches but nothing major. There are some signs of light polishing in the distant past. There is a description on the case back that has worn away from decades of use. The movement has been recently serviced and runs very well when timed on the machine.
