These were not decorative objects trying to merely appear rugged, They came from an era when legibility, reliability, and case construction mattered in daily use. The “Sei Tacche” name, Italian for “six notches,” refers to the six-notched screw-back case, a construction associated with Longines’ early water-resistant watches. In the broader Longines military vocabulary, it places this 1944 example alongside the sort of straightforward, purpose-led wristwatches that have become appreciated by collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watch has the quiet confidence of that period. The stainless steel case measures 31mm across and 38.5mm lug to lug, proportions that are compact by modern standards but very much in line with wartime and immediate postwar wristwatches. The symmetrical lugs give the case a balanced profile, while the round steel form keeps the design restrained and functional. It is not a large watch, but it has the clarity and presence that make these smaller military Longines pieces so appealing on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original silver dial features Arabic numerals, outer minute track, and subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock. It provides the kind of immediate readability that defines a good field watch, and its aged luminous material brings warmth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSKU# G1106\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Longines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47824878567587,"sku":"G1106","price":1750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/1124\/3171\/files\/DSC03194.jpg?v=1782800647","url":"https:\/\/shop.gauthierwatches.com\/products\/1944-vintage-steel-longines-military-sei-tacche-silver-dial","provider":"Gauthier Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
