This is a beautiful Longines watch from the late 1940s, featuring the famous Cal. 12.68z movement and a stainless steel case with a silver two-tone dial. The silver two-tone dial, highlighted by blue steel hands, has an intricate design with alternating printed Arabic numerals and engraved dot indices. The seemingly simple stainless steel case has a long-lug shape, giving it a presence beyond its size. The overall preservation is remarkable, with the two-tone dial showing no signs of aging and the unpolished stainless steel case maintaining a mint condition appearance. This rare piece is equipped with the iconic Cal. 12.68z movement, representative of Longines, offering variations such as small seconds, center seconds, and stop seconds.
