This one’s similar to another we had a while ago (perfectly symmetrical octagon), but with a different dial and handset. This very-hard-to-come-by dial is in a beautiful deep blue, with a radiating cross-hatch lattice texture, topped with gilt Breguet numerals and leaf hands. Strap is narrow at 14mm on fixed wire lugs; a mid-century style uncommon for the 70s and very elegant. Overall a very slim, dressy presentation. Remarkably bold and eye-catching on the wrist and feels like something from the 30s\/40s. So evocative!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONDITION:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e8.5\/10 with visible signs of use. Dial has very subtle spidering which is hard to see on the textured surface. Spidering is appreciated as characterful patina, indicating original vs replaced dials. Crystal has a few fine marks but nothing conspicuous or annoying. Case serial intact on the caseback. Strap has some wear, but with plenty of use remaining. Movement in excellent condition with to-spec power reserve, very strong amplitude, low beat error and accurate to ±5 secs\/day averaged from 6 timegrapher positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDIMENSIONS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e30mm width excl. crown\u003cbr\u003e~34.5mm length incl. wire lugs\u003cbr\u003e6.4mm thickness\u003cbr\u003eTakes 14mm open-ended straps\u003cbr\u003eVisual dial width ~24.5mm\u003cbr\u003eWrist in photos is 15.8cm in circumference\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCRYSTAL:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMineral glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCASE:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eStainless steel, gold-plated\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWATER RESISTANCE:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAssumed none, per vintage watches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSTRAP:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAftermarket textured blue Saffiano from Bambi, aftermarket pin buckle (14mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCALIBRE:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eLongines L846.4, 3-hander small seconds manual-winding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCOMES WITH:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eWatch, aftermarket strap and pin buckle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTERMS OF SALE:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ePlease see our stories Highlight entitled “Terms” on our Instagram profile.
