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 12.68Z manual wind movement with serial number 7155794, dating this watch to 1946. The serviced movement is in excellent condition. The solid stainless steel case is in unpolished original condition. The case model is 23323 (66) and measures 33.2mm across, excluding the crown, by 42mm 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 genuine leather strap. Rare and well-preserved vintage Longines similar to this is scarce in today's market. Wrist size in the photo is 6 inches. It is a smaller-sized watch made for a smaller 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.
