WHY WE CURATED IT:
We’ve had several of these Longines Octagons before, in different sizes, dials, lug styles and aspect ratios. They’ve been extremely popular, often selling out immediately. All of them had roman numerals but this is the first we managed to land with those exquisite Breguet numerals (a typography style so famously popularised by one brand that an entire industry has adopted the name). This particular version has a lacquered black gilt dial in the case variant that’s longer than it is wide, with crab claw/rear-hooded lugs, feuille hands and cabochon-ed crown. In spectacular condition both cosmetically and mechanically!
CONDITION:
9.5/10, with barely visible signs of use except for a nick on the case edge at 3:30. Lacquered dial is crack-free. Gilt printing, hands and crown cabochon are pristine. Crystal has microscopic specks visible only under a loupe. Aftermarket strap and buckle are new. Movement is running healthy with a to-spec power reserve, low beat error, strong amplitude and accuracy within ±15 secs/day averaged from 5 timegrapher positions.
