This Longines has the highly desirable manual wind calibre 23ZS movement. Model reference 6403
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the movement we can accurately date this watch to being made in 1957.
CONDITION
This is not one for the museum collection, or a safe queen, but instead this is a highly usable Longines with a very nice movement for not too much money. The dial has patina evenly across it, probably tobacco smoke, and the winged logo is missing from the dial – you can just see two holes in the dial. Another sign that this has lived a life is the crown has been replaced at some point with a non Longines one, but it was done well it functions perfectly. The 23ZS movement is a delight to wind – it is difficult to describe but if you have had the pleasure of hand winding a good movement you will know what we mean. It is easy to see why these are sought after. The khaki olive strap is new, and could be swapped for a different strap if preferred. This was chosen to compliment the dial, and we think it works well. Originally it would have been on a leather strap or a bracelet. The acrylic glass has just been replaced, and the watch is ready to enjoy.
