It is powered by the manually wound Longines Caliber 27 M, a traditional in-house movement associated with the brand’s highly regarded mid-century production.\u003cbr\u003eThe defining feature of this example is its exceptionally distinctive set of sculpted “Fancy Curved Lugs,” often described by collectors as flame-style lugs. Instead of conventional straight horns, each solid lug rises dramatically from the round case and curves outward in a deeply fluted, twin-ridged form, creating the visual impression of a stylized flame. Their elaborate three-dimensional construction gives the watch a noticeably stronger wrist presence and transforms an otherwise classical round case into a highly individual and immediately recognizable design.\u003cbr\u003eThis ornamental lug architecture is one of the most unusual features encountered on vintage Longines dress watches. Specialist vintage-watch sources describe Reference 23676 as a rare “Fancy Lugs” model, making the case design an important part of the watch’s historical and collector appeal. The circa-1949 production date has been verified using internal movement serial tables\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis watch was last serviced on 17-06-2026.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specifications\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand and Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e Longines Reference 23676\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 33 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLug-to-Lug:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic (period-correct)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrown:\u003c\/strong\u003e Period correct\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap or Bracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calf leather strap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Caliber:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27 M\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJewels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Serial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7337•••\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated Production:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1949, verified from internal movement serial tables\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Splash Water Resistant (handwashing ok, not showering)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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).
