The company's tradition for beautiful design continued to show-up in certain models of their American market watches like this knot lug watch, one of our favorite vintage Longines dress watch designs.
With its knot lug case and guilloche bezel with diamonds set at all of the hours, this midsize beauty has a very elegant presence. Most of the examples of the this model we have owned only have diamonds set at 3, 6, 9, and 12.
As a mens midsize it is well-suited for someone who does not have a large wrist.
It presents very nicely. Its case is in better than excellent condition. Its dial is a vintage restoration.
Our watchmaker has freshly cleaned and oiled the movement. For the finishing touch we have installed a brand new Teju lizard band making it ready for immediate enjoyment
Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
