Description

Longines Cal. 12.68Z circa 1955
A steel vintage manually wound wristwatch

A classic vintage Longines, this watch has an attractively patinated silvered dial which has subtle golden and pinkish hues, and light and even oxidation spots. The stainless steel case was made for Longines by the Dennison case company and is a model 13322 – interestingly this is the same case design that Dennison supplied to Omega for use in their Ref. 720.

Manually wound, the movement is Longines’ calibre 12.68Z – one of the watchmaker’s most successful movements which was first launched in 1929.
