Horological Meandering

Hello kjkt3: I´m glad to answer you and also be a little persuasive. Lol!

I see there is an interesting difference in the dials: the position of the date window at twelve vs. three o clock. Mine having a little loupe in the interior of glass.
I´m not familiar with this model evolution but I guess along the years of production different little things were changed.
My watch is in very good condition but as I said before the one you show is in much much better condition, probably NOS, considering the markings and hallmarks.
This is something which fascinates me: to find a vintage watch in almost or totally in the same condition it had when it was shipped from the factory several decades ago.
Now the decision to buy it or not is a very personal action depending on your own tastes and approach to collecting, and of course price.
Look forward to know your decision on this one!
Best cordial regards, Abel

Longines?

Reminds me of my Flagship chronograph. EDIT - Sorry, I confused the observatory depiction (Omega, I assume) with the sailship medaillon on the Longines. Marcus

Well it looks interesting & tempting:)

I'm no expert but this is a Longines "Conquest," right?

35mm.

Good eye, Fab. That was my guess, too. The grooved crown . . .

Looks like a Longines Conquest. In superb NOS condition it seems…

… considering the so clear markings you show in your picture. Small as per present modern trend to big watches it is a beautiful watch and a pleasure on the wrist. Mine is far to be in the superb condition of this example here but I enjoy wearing it from ...  

Bingo! And a persuasive reply, too.

Thank you, Abel, for increasing my knowledge and, sadly, for revealing my haste in missing the interior cyclops on your watch. A fascinating and, indeed, rare feature that I'm pleased to see now!

My big pleasure to share my watch with you. I enjoyed viewing your watch and comparing its differences. We always learn something new in these experiences of sharing and comparing. ..

... as a matter of fact I had never seen before this model with the date window at twelve. I hope you´ll arrive to a good deal and get this charming watch for your collection. Best cordial regards, Abel

Nice one, my friend, well done. All the best, Tony.
