WHY WE CURATED IT:
One of two main case variants from these ever-popular Longines “Octagons”. This one’s similar to another we had a while ago (perfectly symmetrical octagon), but with a different dial and handset. The dial is in a beautiful deep blue, with a radiating cross-hatch lattice texture, topped with gilt Breguet numerals and leaf hands. Strap is narrow at 14mm on fixed wire lugs; a mid-century style uncommon for the 70s and very elegant. Overall a very slim, dressy presentation. Remarkably bold and eye-catching on the wrist and feels like something from the 30s/40s. So evocative!

CONDITION:
8.5/10 with visible signs of use. Dial and hands are very clean. The crystal has a few fine marks but nothing too conspicuous or annoying. Case serial intact on the caseback. Strap has some scuffing, but with plenty of use remaining. Movement in very good condition with to-spec power reserve, very strong amplitude and accurate to ±20 secs/day averaged from 5 timegrapher positions.
