Our View
This is a superb example of a mid-century Longines dress watch, distinguished not only by its condition but also by its provenance. The Hawker Siddeley engraving adds a unique connection to British aviation history, giving the watch an additional layer of story and appeal.
The near-perfect dial and sharp gold case make this a standout piece, possibly the closest you will find to new old stock from this period. A beautiful, collectible and highly wearable vintage gold dress watch.
