    Hello everybody,
    Extremely rare and high collectible Military Wrist watch Longines from 1913.

    The condition is amazing, no dents, no scratches, the case number match with the movement number.
    102 year after, this unique watch still running with a strong tic and an incredible accuracy. This watch was made just prior to the start of World War I.
    Winged clepsydra and the word "Longines" in the immaculate case.

    The same year; 1913, Longines develops its first caliber chronographs for a wrist watch with a single push-piece: the 13.33Z.
