Longines - 5445688 - 1900-1949

Overview
This antique Longines mechanical pocket watch has a refined and collectible early pocket watch character. The white dial features black Arabic numerals, an outer red 13 to 24 hour scale, and a subsidiary seconds register at 6 o’clock, giving the watch a clean yet distinctive appearance. The dial is signed Longines, and the movement and inner cover both show Longines markings with the same number, adding to its sense of completeness. Its main appeal lies in the Longines name, the red 24 hour scale, the matching number on the movement and inner cover, and the included gold-toned pocket watch chain.
