Description from the seller
Longines Military Watch cal:12.67z
This exceptionally rare Longines military watch from World War II is in original and excellent vintage condition. The stainless steel case has thick, prominent lugs and has likely never been polished. The crown is large and unsigned (as expected). The inside of the caseback bears the Longines signature. The buckle is signed by Longines, and the crystal has a small purple scratch and crack. It can be replaced. We chose to keep it original. This watch was recently serviced by a specialist watchmaker.
The 33mm case with a 31mm crown is a "Tre Tacche" (three notches) in Italian, a rare type of striped bezel. The extra thickness of the stepped case gives the watch a larger appearance on the wrist than its 33mm counterpart.
The original dial is in excellent condition with an incredible patina. The sword-shaped hands are original. All luminous materials on the hands and indices are original, and the Arabic numerals exhibit a heightened aged effect, as expected.
The movement is the Longines Caliber 12.68z, which has 17 jewels, a 41-hour power reserve, and beats at 18,000 beats per hour. The 12.68z movement is mounted on an Incabloc anti-shock platform and provided Longines with exceptional performance in the 1940s and 1950s.
Case Diameter: 33 mm, 11 mm thick, original acrylic crystal. Please see the images as part of the description. Insured delivery via DHL and Fedex within 3-5 days. Please note that customs duties are the buyer's responsibility.
