1930s Longines Wittnauer "Weems second setting" Cal.18.69N in 47mm Silver case

A Longines masterpiece 'Weems Second-Setting' from the mid-1930s, equipped with the Cal. 18.69N, in excellent condition with a 47mm silver 925 case. This aviation watch was developed under the guidance of U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Weems, a pioneer in navigation, allowing precise measurement down to the second. Its characteristic design epitomizes functional beauty, and the oversized 47mm case gives it an imposing presence. This particular piece is an early model featuring a silver 925 case with the Cal. 18.69N movement. When the crown is pulled and turned, the inner disc rotates, while time adjustments are made not by pulling the crown but by pressing a button below the crown. In addition to its rarity, it is remarkably well-preserved, with the valuable porcelain dial showing no scratches or cracks.
