A 1950s Longines Pocket Watch

A 1950s Longines pocket watch.

The watch has a calibre 37.93 stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed and it has the serial number 8,275,532 which dates it back to 1951. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has images of various Grand Prix medals won by Longines.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is a galonne silver case which is 800 silver with a rose gold wash around the bezel and the edge of the case back… most of the wash has worn off the back of the watch. There are some indentations to the back of the watch, and some rubbing to the engine turned detail, just from use over the years. The inside of the case back has the Longines logo together with the initials EF Co for Ernest Francillon, the founder of Longines.

The lens is in good order.

The signed dial has a charming appearance… there is a little marking but nothing too detrimental. The blued steel hands in the Breguet style are a charming feature, as is the outer 24 hour track.
