··Thanks, mystery donor!Following from @J_pilot's recent post about his 13.33Z (https://omegaforums.net/threads/my-13-33z-18k-chrono.101697/#post-2265101), I am starting a thread to collect information on Longines watches with dials that denote "Anti Magnétique" or some variation thereof. It would be neat to see early examples with these markings. It would also be neat to compare their balance wheels, levers, and hairsprings with examples that lack these markings.
The first comparison below is of two caliber 13.33Z examples. The first example (4'86x'xxx) has a dial that is marked "Anti Magnétique", and a monometallic balance wheel. The second example (4'981'741) has a dial with no such marking, and a split bimetallic balance wheel.
The second comparison below is of two caliber 19.73 examples. The first example (serial not visible) has a dial that is marked "Non Magnetic", and a monometallic balance wheel. The second example (2'236'950) has a dial with no such marking, and a split bimetallic balance wheel.
