We are selling the watch for a good friend of ours and fellow Longines collector who is battling terminal cancer. This would make a great easy restoration project for a beautiful finished product and help a good man.

Its has a classic yet sophisticated style suggestive of a Cartier as an uncommon rectangular chronograph. It features a shapely rectangular case, silver dial with pleasing design, precision quartz Swiss Longines movement that never needs to be wound, and sapphire crystal.

It is all original and measures approx. 28mm wide without the crown and is 41mm long.

Its case presents in beautiful condition. The back has light remnants of wear. On the wrist it presents as mint. As mentioned, we suggest that the dial be restored. The cost would be $195. Its crystal presents as mint.
