Sculptural, tubular lugs surround the strap and complement the case’s stepped, architectural profile, giving the watch a far stronger wrist presence than its compact dimensions might suggest. The inner caseback is marked “Cased and Timed in USA by Longines,” confirming that the watch was prepared specifically for American distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of its most remarkable features is the unusually thick, high-domed rectangular acrylic crystal. Strongly arched across its width and finished with faceted edges, the crystal rises prominently above the case, creating attractive optical distortions when viewed from an angle and reinforcing the sculptural character of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeneath it is an elegant silver-toned dial with applied stylized Arabic numerals, an outer railroad minute track and a square subsidiary-seconds register at 6 o’clock. These geometric details form a coherent Art Deco composition and harmonize beautifully with the elaborate construction of the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is powered by the manually wound Longines Caliber 10L, a 17-jewel manufacture movement valued for its robust construction, reliability and precise engineering. Together, the distinctive “Piping Case,” highly profiled acrylic crystal and refined in-house movement make this an unusual and highly characterful example of Longines’ American-market production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watch was last serviced on 15-06-2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specifications\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand and Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e Longines\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold plated 10ct\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLug-to-Lug:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original, features Arabic numerals with a sub-seconds dial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic (period-correct)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrown:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap or Bracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calf leather strap\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Caliber:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10L\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJewels: \u003c\/strong\u003e17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Type: \u003c\/strong\u003eManual\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Serial: \u003c\/strong\u003e6364•••\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated Production: \u003c\/strong\u003eCirca 1949 (verified from internal movement serial tables)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance: \u003c\/strong\u003eSplash Water Resistant (handwashing ok, not showering)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specifications\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e📦 What’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox\/Case:\u003c\/strong\u003e Secure black travel watch case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocuments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Invoice and our service certificate worth €369 — included free of charge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🚚 Shipping, Returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsured worldwide shipping. 14-day inspection (unused, seals intact).
