Longines Weems, 1940s navigational wristwatch
This Longines Weems dates from the 1940s and embodies the pragmatic design of wartime pilot’s watches, with a compact 28 mm gold-filled case and dual crowns for its rotating second-setting bezel. The original cream dial with Arabic numerals and blued hands reads with clarity, while the period-correct acrylic crystal completes the era-appropriate aesthetic. Powered by the manual-wind cal. 10L (17 jewels), the movement carries Longines’ watchmaking tradition of robust, precision mechanics. For a contemporary collector the watch offers historical purpose-built design paired with a service record that aids confident daily wear or careful rotation in a collection.
