Specialist note

According to the Archives of Longines the present watch was sold in November 1945 to Seelich, the official Longines retailer in Bratislava at the time. Therefore, we can assume that the present watch featuring the Suiza signature, mainly made for the South American market, it was most probably born with a different dial. However, it is interesting to note that the two-tone copper-coloured dial, adding a very attractive appearance to this watch, is known on this model.
