This means the movement has been completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected and rebuilt using only original Longines parts where required, then carefully calibrated and tested. This watch carries the original Longines Calibre 501, 17 Jewel movement, which is in tip-top condition following a thorough overhaul and service by our vintage Longines specialist watchmaker. This is the original dial which has been restored to the highest standards by our dial restorers which are considered to be the best in the UK. The gold ‘stick’ hands are also onyx inlaid, which along with the applied 5 Stars at ’12’ and applied Longines branding, all add to this highly sophisticated and interesting dial. The dial has a light vertical cut finish, which picks up the available light beautifully and the applied oblong base hour indices are interesting for being double inlaid with onyx which sits proud of the base. The design here is a great example of a classic, sophisticated, late ’60s Longines gentleman’s dress watch.
