Made circa 1960, this Longines has a style that is surprisingly contemporary. The 10k gold filled case is in excellent condition; it is clean, lightly polished, and has superficial age wear. The pale cream dial is pristine and the Longines logo is crisply legible. Slender index hands match the indices, all placed on full display beneath the newly installed acrylic crystal. The Longines-signed crown has plenty of grip, and it winds and sets effortlessly. The one piece caseback is also in excellent condition, with only the lightest wear.
The 17 jewel calibre 23ZS is a 18,000 v/h manual winding movement; it is clean, properly lubricated with the appropriate Moebius synthetic lubricants, and has clearly been well cared for over the decades. The watch has been timegrapher regulated in positions; with a high amplitude, it keeps impeccable time. The watch comes on new, Italian made brown lizard grain leather bands that accent the case nicely and are comfortable on the wrist.
Overall, this is a very nicely preserved example of early-Sixties high style from a company that needs no introduction.
Please note that all mechanical watches, including automatics, require occasional winding in order to function properly.
