This Longines watch is big with a beautiful enamel dial in good condition (small crack at 4 o’clock position). This Longines watch is unique and of excellent quality. You will not find any watch like this anywhere! It was originally a pocket watch that was converted into a wristwatch. This watch makes a great addition to your watch collection or a fantastic gift, and most definitely this watch will be a great conversational piece because it’s so noticeable!

The Longines name is located on the dial, inside the movement, and on the movement. It’s possible to open the case back and the cover into the movement.

You can use the crown to wind it up just like most other mechanical watches. To set the time, you must push the pusher at the 4 o’clock position while turning the crown. DO NOT pull the crown out. It may damage the time setting and winding permanently.

This Longines watch is entirely mechanical without any self-winding mechanism. You will need to wind up the watch daily to keep It running. Do not wind it up completely as this could break the main spring inside the watch.

The dial is enamel and shows a few tiny hairline cracks (as expected from enamel dials) around the edge of the 4 o’clock area. The crown, lugs, and watch band are new and not from Longines.

Be careful not to use force when opening the back cover or the movement cover. Use a case knife or a small sharp knife to open the movement cover if you like to look into the watch. It’s not recommended to touch any part of the movement.

This watch will be delivered in full working condition and sent with adequate padded packaging that will ensure its safe arrival to you.

Important note on this Longines watch.

There is no other warranty given for this watch.

The watch is a manual mechanical watch. If this watch should ever need any repair, please be aware that repairs will not be cheap as parts are usually no longer available for watches this old. You should have the watch serviced every 3-5 years, and if the watch is working, this should cost the same as servicing a new watch.

When you adjust the time of your watch, move the hands in a clockwise direction only. You risk damaging the movement if done counterclockwise. Only small adjustments counterclockwise (a few minutes) are acceptable.

This watch is an old vintage watch and should be handled with care. Do not drop or bang the watch into door sills, walls, etc. The moving part inside the watch may break if you are not careful.

The watch is NOT waterproof. If exposed to water, you should dry it off with a hairdryer and take it to a watchmaker for service as soon as possible thereafter. Leaving moisture inside that watch will make the metal inside rust.

Keep the watch away from magnets. If you suspect your watch is magnetized, please take it to a watchmaker to have it demagnetized (or get a cheap demagnetizer on Amazon).

The watch may gain or lose as much as 2-3 minutes per day. This is normal for a watch like this. Do not adjust the movement rate inside the watch. If you need to adjust the rate, please take it to a watchmaker.
