Up for sale is a very rare Longines from the 90s, and believed to be issued for the Japanese market only. In fact I bought this watch from Japan in 2019.

The inside case back read ref. 3474 - 831 with S/N 2566XXXX. The watch is in 34mm steel case, with double lugs and a round onion crown, snapped caseback. The case is the most striking trait on this watch imo. The top lugs are fully polished while the mid-case is in brushed steel. The dial is in light off-white color with very fine vertical brushed finishing, in contrast with the shiny/circular texture sub-second hand dial that DOES NOT OBSTRACT number 6. This is the 2nd most favourite trait of this watch to me. The hands are leaf-shape, the crown is in its beautiful onion shape.

In all, this is a perfect dress watch, one of the most beautiful I have ever own, plus it is so rare you probably won't find the 2nd one on the internet. The watch has a 520 manual winding movement, has been serviced in 2019 when I bought it, runs well & keep good time, though accuracy is unknown.

I'm asking for $1100 shipped WW by FedEx. Here are the pictures:
