Description

Gents Longines wrist watch, 1945.

The watch has a calibre 27M hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Longines and it has the serial number 6,989,076 which dates it back to 1945. There were two movements developed by Longines in the1940s where the demand was for thinner watches which were perceived as more advanced and more elegant, and the calibres 23M and 27M were born.

The watch measures 33mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition, just some scratching to the back where a tool has slipped in the past. The inside of the case back is signed Longines.

The lens is in lovely condition.

The signed dial has been professional re-finished at some point. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Vintage Longines Wrist Watch to the 1940s.

FAQs

Timepieces from the 1940s typically feature smaller case diameters, clear arabic or baton numerals, sub-seconds dials, and understated, functional designs suited for everyday wear.

Watches from this era were commonly constructed using stainless steel, gold-plated or solid gold cases, acrylic crystals, and genuine leather straps.

Authenticity is verified by examining the movement serial numbers against manufacturer archives, inspecting the hallmarks on the case interior, and checking for correct dial typography and hand styles consistent with the era.

A classic mechanical watch adds a touch of understated sophistication to contemporary tailoring or smart-casual attire, serving as a subtle focal point of personal style.

To maintain mechanical longevity, keep the movement away from moisture and magnetic fields, service the movement every three to five years, and avoid manual overwinding.
