Story & Heritage

During World War II, Longines was among the most respected suppliers of reliable wristwatches for military forces. Known for precision and durability, Longines military models were issued to soldiers, pilots and officers who required dependable timekeeping in harsh and unpredictable environments.

This 33 mm example carries all the codes of a true wartime field watch: a no-nonsense stainless steel case, large Arabic numerals for maximum legibility, and a small-seconds register to enhance precision observation. The aged silver dial tells the silent story of decades passed — each spot, tone shift and patina layer marking the passage of time and giving this piece unmistakable authenticity.

Its mechanical movement, built at a time when Swiss watchmaking was entirely hand-finished, remains a testament to the era’s craftsmanship. Worn on a modern leather strap, the watch balances its military origin with understated vintage elegance.

A genuine fragment of horological history, this Longines WW2 military watch is not just a timepiece — it is a preserved artifact of resilience, purpose and Swiss precision.
