Gents Longines Wrist Watch, 1957

Gents Longines wrist watch, 1957.

The watch has a calibre 22AS automatic movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 10,018,032 which dates it back to 1957.

The watch is a good size at 36mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition, just the odd small mark and a little light scratching to the back but nothing too serious. Original Longines winding crown.

The case back states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture.

The lens has light marking but difficult to see with the naked eye.

The signed dial has the applied Longines wings logo, original hands and second sweep. There is a little marking to the dial.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a Longines presentation box although not the original which means the buckle has to be folded under the strap to make it fit (as shown in the photo).

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.
