Longines Jamboree Ref. 6884 -6 steel vintage wristwatch, circa 1958
A stainless steel manually wound centre seconds wristwatch with enamel painted dial

This is a lovely example of the Longines ‘Jamboree’ model. The dial finish is one not often found on Longines watches of the period, being an off-white enamel painted dial. The stainless steel case retains good definition and the case back has the original fine concentric satin rings to the edge. Manually wound, the watch incorporates Longines’ 17 jewel calibre 280. The luminescent dots and panels to the hands have a very attractive and warm patina, the dot by 9 o’clock is worn; there is some crazing to the dial’s surface (as expected on enamel painted dials of this period).
