Case:
This example features a sharp, Wittnauer-contracted case, only lightly polished, if at all. The "fancy" lugs are well-balanced and defined. There are a small amount of light scratches and normal wear, particularly on the sides of the case. There is some slight discoloration of the gold on the side of the case by the "8" hour marker. The watch has been expertly cleaned by one of our technicians, but was not at all polished.

Crystal:
The unique glass crystal has some slight scratches, particularly by the "9" and "3" o'clock hour markers.

Dial:
The dial is overall in good condition, but in particularly features some wear near the edges and within the "8" "10" and "12" o'clock hour markers. The printing of "SWISS" above the hour track may indicate that the dial was at one time retouched/refinished. Longines' archival service confirmed that this was originally a Longines dial, and not a Wittnauer, even though they partnered on the movment.

Movement:
The fully-serviced manual-winding calibre by Longines is in excellent condition.

Bracelet:
Aftermarket Brown Lizard Strap with Aftermarket Gold Plated Buckle
