This vintage Longines from 1943 presents a beautifully aged salmon dial with natural patina, giving the watch a warm and distinctive character. The clear Arabic numerals and slim hands remain highly legible, while the small seconds register at 6 o’clock creates a balanced and classic layout.

The softly textured dial has developed its patina naturally over time, adding depth and individuality to the overall appearance. The original Longines signature completes the understated mid-century design.

Measuring 31mm in diameter with a 38.2mm lug-to-lug length, the stainless steel case reflects the proportions of the wartime era. Its slim 8mm profile and long, straight lugs give the watch an elegant presence on the wrist while keeping the overall design simple and refined.

Inside is the Longines Calibre 23M, a manually wound mechanical movement used by the brand during the early 1940s.  The serial number 6526452 dates the watch to 1943.
