Longines vintage complications

97'vintage

Hi everyone,

I wondered how much Longines dabbled into complications in the vintage era. Let's say until 1979.

I know about the beautiful chronographs, the central power reserve indicators, GMTs/2nd timezones and dive watches (if that can be considered a complication).

Does anybody know other complications that Longines did back then?

Though someone will probably be able to provide a link to a 300 page thread about them, I’ve never seen a vintage Longines moonphase. I’d very much like to see one.

Just offhand I’m thinking of the relatively uncommon pointer dates, and their much earlier pocket watch repeaters.

The old repeaters are beautiful. Just saw one with a stunning movement!

2 timezones were introduced with early (Ottoman) pocket watches already, of course they had alarm clocks and (does this count?) a winding indicator, telling how long ago the watch was wound to ensure maximum accuracy by winding it every 24hrs.

Someone on the forum has a split-second Longines chronograph, IIRC.
