Gents 1933 Silver Longines Wrist Watch

Gents 1933 silver Longines wrist watch.

The watch has a Longines calibre 12.68Z 15-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Longines name and also the serial number 5,203,463 which dates it back to 1933. The movement is also signed B&Co for Baume & Co, importers of Longines watches to Britain and the British Empire.

The watch measures 33mm diameter excluding the articulated lugs and the later winding crown. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the screw-on case back for London (import mark), 1933 with an importer's mark for Arthur Baume of Baume & Co, Hatton Garden. The case is in good condition with just light surface marks.

The watch glass has a couple of short light scratches but you have to look quite carefully to see them.

The signed dial is in lovely condition.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
