Finally....
It arrived! 😄
This art deco cased longines,
With pretty much functional lume (for a couple seconds),
The coolest thing about this is its crystal,
That caused those distortions on those numerals,
On my wrist... It's in the smaller side albeit the long stepped case/lugs.... I guess the small dial makes it look smaller,
But I dig it!
The movement view (from the seller picture),
And... Amagnetic soft iron cover I guess?
What do you think? Any further information about this one? Thanks in advance!

Congrats for this new addition dear Jev
With such a case shape, I suppose this Longines has been made during the 30s. Did you ask few questions to Longines to know more about this timepiece? I agree with you, the unusual shape of the crystal gives it a supplementary cool touch and a kaleidoscop...
Thanks Al! 😄
Not yet, how to contact them though? Yeah, the best part is it's faceted crystal! And another surprise is that dial got mirror finish surrounded by the railtrack indices... I wonder if there's another watches beside rado original or some seiko 5's that go...
I think you can contact them quite easily through their website
Regarding another watch with such a crystal shape, well, I give up 🤔 Best wishes Alkiro
Crystal gives cool "feature" ...numerals distortion
Congrats on this new addition. Cheers D
Your watch was presented at the 1939 Zurich Watch Fair
Very nice find, Jev! Congratulation! Yes, this kind of Art Deco watches we saw a lot from all brands during the 1930s and 1940s. This model watch was pictured in the 1939 Zurich Watch Fair presentation. Look at number 8. Same lugs but in Gold and black di...
That black cased one pretty cool!
Thank you for showing one of the catalog of yours, blomman! 😄 I think the crystal is a bit "flat" in this reference though... Is it possible to order an extract of the archive from longines and how? Best, Jev
Remember, images in the catalog....
Is more like drawings than photos... Best Blomman
Ah... I see... So...
The old catalogs can't be used for ones whom seek for originality?
Yes, they can, but in this case....
The reflection of a angled crystal is not possible to verify. Later when actual photos are used in catalogues its easier... Best Blomman
