1940s Longines Cal.12.68z rare 35mm Calatrava with Two-tone sector dial in Staybrite

This is a Longines watch manufactured in the early 1940s, featuring the renowned Cal.12.68z movement. It has a rare 35mm stainless steel Calatrava design with a sector dial. Unlike the more common 32mm size often seen in Longines watches, this 35mm Calatrava case is non-waterproof yet retains the substantial feel characteristic of Longines. The case diameter is 35mm, and the belt width is 18mm, resulting in an exquisite balance. The dial showcases a wonderful sector design typical of that era, with a two-tone dial that has aged from silver to yellow, offering a superb vintage taste. This model is equipped with the iconic Cal.12.68z movement, a hallmark of Longines, which comes in various versions such as small seconds, center seconds, and stop seconds.
