Longines Ref. 7855 -1 invoiced 1968 | steel manual vintage wristwatch
A clean and sharp example of the Longines 7855, this watch has a great monochrome design with bold black Arabic numerals and a cross-hair subsidiary seconds. The case retains good definition to its angles and edges and has not been re-polished during servicing – there are some light scuffs and scratches. The Longines Archives note that this watch was originally invoiced on 20 May 1968 to their UK agent, Baume & Co.
