CASE & BRACELET

The 28-millimeter sterling silver case gracefully shows its near-century of life. The lugs are a beautifully curved shape with just the right amount of length for the size of the case. The watch also features a hunter case back giving a view of the fantastic, manually wound Longines Cal. 11.84n movement.

DIAL & HANDS

This Longines shows off a gorgeous railroad-style dial with thick, radium, Arabic numerals. The hour markers sit on top of a beautifully aged midsection of the dial, having turned a fantastic multi-shade of cream and brown. This surrounds a grey inner dial and is surrounded in turn by a black and white outer minute track. The dial also shows off a small sub-seconds counter at 6 o'clock and beautifully aged radium cathedral hands. The minute hand is missing most of the lume in its window nearest the hand stack.
