Description

With a classic baton/Arabic numeral configuration, this smart Longines wristwatch has a hand wound calibre 12.68ZS movement. The Longines Archives confirm that the watch was originally invoiced to their UK Agent, Baume, on 21 August 1963.  Baume distributed Longines’ watches to retailers throughout the UK and the accompanying Certificate of Origin shows that the original retailer of this piece was J. A. Jewellers of Hatton Garden. J.A. Jewellers sold the watch to the first owner in December 1963. In addition to the original Longines guarantee booklet, the watch is also accompanied by its fitted Longines presentation case and a Certificate of Insurance issued by J. A. Jewellers at the original time of the watch’s sale. In good overall condition, the case has been gently polished and the dial has some light oxidation
