FACTORY / HOUSE: Longines Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: Art Deco / Tank Style METAL / MATERIAL: Experimental Stainless Steel CIRCA / YEAR: 1928 DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Length 35mm x Width 19mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 15 Jewels / Caliber 847 DIAL / HANDS: Silvered with Roman Numerals / Blued Steel Breguet Style Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Alligator, 15mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This unique Longines wrist watch is fitted with an unusual AW signed case which appears to be entirely hand constructed in Stainless Steel. It was likely an experimental metal that has fared well over the years because it has not oxidized at all. We have never seen this model before in this material, making it very rare. We have just serviced it and it keeps dependable time as well. It has been in our collection for over 40 years.
