1950 RARE VINTAGE LONGINES AUTOMATIC GENT'S WATCH   

item # LON918

Here's a very rare and well preserved vintage Longines Automatic.  A very early automatic model with stepped bezel design.  The unpolished case is original and in very good condition.  Brand new crystal.  Original Longines unsigned crown.  The case dimension is 35mm across excluding the crown by 43.3mm lug tip to lug tip.  Case model is 6250-1 (410).  Will come with a brand new 18mm genuine leather strap.  The dial is factory original and nicely aged.  The automatic movement is Longines caliber 22A and has been recently serviced.  Movement serial number is 8135194 dating this watch to 1950.  Only purchase this watch if you do not mind daily manual wind as these early Longines automatic calibers only wind in one direction, and automatic system will need much stronger wrist motion once mainspring gets close to max strength.  Rare and well preserved vintage Longines similar to this is scarce in today's market.
