This is a rare vintage Longines Sei-Tacche watch featuring an aged two-tone "bullseye" factory original dial. The watch is equipped with a professionally serviced Longines calibre 12.68Z manual wind movement, which has a serial number of 6825683, dating it to 1944. The serviced movement is in excellent condition.
The solid stainless steel case remains in its unpolished original state, with a personal engraving on the case back. The model of the case is 22902, and it measures 33.4mm across (excluding the crown) and 42.2mm from lug tip to lug tip. The luminous elements on the dial and hands are original; however, they no longer glow. This watch will come with a brand-new crystal.
The crown is unsigned but original to this watch, and it will be accompanied by a new 16mm genuine leather strap. The wrist size shown in the photo is 6 inches. This smaller-sized watch will wear nicely on a smaller wrist or for someone interested in a WWII-era timepiece or a Longines collector seeking to add another rare find to their collection.
