Gents WW2 Longines wrist watch, 1939
Gents WW2 Longines wrist watch, 1939.
The watch has a calibre 12.68N 17-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 5941546 which dates it back to 1939.
The watch measures 33mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition. The watch would originally have been the Longines Weems, which means it would have had a moveable outer bezel which would have been set to the second hand to calculate longitude to aid navigation. The watch would have been issued to pilots and navigators of the RAF during WW2. Unfortunately this bezel has gone missing over the years. There would also have been a bezel fixing screw beneath the winding crown but this has been removed, presumably when the bezel was lost, and has the hole been filled in.
Later winding crown.
The lens is in lovely condition.
The signed dial appears to be the original, there are no signs it has been ever been changed or re-finished, although the Breguet numbers are more unusual, we have found only found one other example from this era.
Original blued steel hands and centre seconds.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
