Gents Longines Wrist Watch, 1969

Gents Longines wrist watch, 1969.

The watch has a 17-jewel hand-winding movement, Longines calibre 490, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 50,543,564 which dates it back to 1969.

The watch measures 35mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case gold plated while the case back is stainless steel. The case is in beautiful condition, including a signed winding crown. The inside of the case back is signed with the Longines logo.

The lens is in lovely condition, just a couple of marks if viewed through a jeweller’s loupe… some reflection showing in the photos.

The signed dial has its original subtle sunburst finish with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch has a signed Longines black leather strap (plain buckle).

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

NB: Where we have specified a year of manufacture, this is based on hallmarks or serial numbers with published databases. The 'date of manufacture' given by SellingAntiques will vary slightly as the website only works to decades, not specific years.
