    Hi OF members,

    For sale is a 1968 Longines Caliber 285. It is a manual winding in-house Longines movement with 17 jewels, shock protection, semi-quickset date function. Dial is very clean and has a stunning sunburst pattern from 6 o'clock. The watch was invoiced on May 16, 1968 according to the Longines Records Division. Serial is in the 13,9 million range. Case size is 35mm excluding crown and 42mm long. It takes 18mm straps. Functions perfectly. Some very light scuffs as seen in pictures. Overall in excellent condition. Includes crocodile-embossed black genuine leather strap in the last picture (not the matte leather strap). Please pardon the fingerprints and dust.

    Price is USD$ 750 shipped USA or best reasonable offer. Sale is final unless item is not as described. Pay by bank wire or PayPal (buyer pays fees). References available on OF.

    I purchased this not too long ago from a reputable fellow OF member. Didn't get enough wrist time since I rarely wear dress watches. According to previous owner, it was serviced. Please see link here:

    Thanks OF for the space!
