The large and striking Longines wristwatch showcased in today's offering is one of the company's very fine diamond vintage dress wristwatches.

Created in the second half of the 1940's, this seventeen-diamond dial watch showcases a regal style. It captured the essence of the rewards available to those who through hard work and dedication achieved a position of leadership in law, medicine, and business.

As a mens midsize, it is well suited for someone with a small wrist. As fine on the inside as the outside, it is powered by the under appreciated, very well-designed and finished caliber 9L engine. The 9L is on par with the rectangular movements found in some watches from even more prestigious makers at much higher price points.

Its elegant 14K white gold case is in excellent condition with only light wear. Its silver dial, fully set with diamond indices, shows hardly any aging. And its high-grade Longines movement is near pristine.

One of our Master Watchmakers freshly fully serviced the fine movement. It is running extremely strongly, keeping very accurate time.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a high quality Teju lizard strap and aftermarket Longines style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
