1940 - 1960
Description

This is a wonderful example of a rare gents classic wristwatch made by the world renowned premier Swiss maker Longines.

This is Model Reference 7111 from 1959 with a perfect untouched original Linen dial

The movement is the legendary calibre 12.68zs one of the finest and probably the most robust movements ever made by Longines. This movement was used in military watches its very hard wearing.

The stainless steel case is a full size gents model measuring 35mm without the crown

The dial is the rare Linen texture with sharp diamond cut hour markers complemented with beautiful polished stainless steel hands

It has just been professionally serviced and a new glass has been fitted. The heavy solid stainless steel case has been ultrasonically cleaned and polished.

As you would expect the watch is fully marked on the dial, movement and case.

It comes complete with a brand new quality black leather strap and Longines buckle

Longines are one of the most exclusive watchmakers in the world and this watch certainly has that understated elegance that whispers class.

Overall this watch is in outstanding condition and probably the best of this model we have ever come across and highly sought after by collectors

The watch has been fully serviced. It has been professionally overhauled and comes with a one year warranty.
