1950s Longines "Sei-Tacche" rare 35mm Water-resistant with Black gilt dial

Manufactured in the early 1950s, this is a popular Longines 'Seitake' rare 35mm waterproof model in excellent condition with an original black gilt dial. This is the later model of the Seitake, which transitioned from an early, thicker case to a thinner, round-shaped design. While the 33mm size is commonly seen for the Seitake, this rare piece is a 35mm, and the original black gilt dial is an exceptional find for this size. The gilt-crafted wing mark captures the aesthetics of its era, making it a remarkable piece. It is equipped with Longines' iconic Cal. 12.68z movement, known for its diverse configurations, including small seconds, center seconds, and stop seconds.
