Longines, Cal.15.94 powered, very rare 37.5mm, Big Calatrava Design, Art-Deco Black Gilt Dial, circa 1938.
This is a rare big Calatrava model equipped with a large Cal.15.94 movement, which is rarely seen except in Czech military models of the same era. It was mainly manufactured for Europe for a short period of time from 1936 to 1939, and there were many dial variations such as silver, white, black, yellow, porcelain, etc., which were also used for some military models. This model has a rare black dial with a rail track and silver circles by undercoating, Arabic indexes and large leaf hands, which is a wonderful design. It is a gem with an overwhelming presence and a wonderful vintage taste. It comes with an archive document.
