Description

With a super stylish dial design comprising Arabic and lozenge-shaped indexes, this model also features its own unique Jamboree logo. The steel casing retains good definition and has a chamfered bezel and finely faceted lugs. The dial is in very attractive condition with a great lustre and the steel case retains very good definition to its angles and edges; there are scratches to the case back where amateur attempts have been made to open it in the past. The watch is fitted with what is almost certainly the original stitched black leather strap with steel Longines pin buckle featuring the Longines winged hour glass logo. Also accompanying the watch is the original Longines presentation case with silk and red velvet fitted interior; the box is in superb condition.

The Longines Archives confirm that this watch was originally invoiced to their UK agent Baume on 15 June 1962.
