Thanks S!

As I understood @Modest_Proposal, enamel dials were declining in popularity while sector were becoming more popular, so this combo is really uncommon. Couldn't find anything similar on online..

Agree it’s uncommon,
However and as a general rule, I’d be cautious about drawing conclusions when you “can’t find anything similar on line” in a two hour search, or even a couple years of observation on the internet.
In depth understanding requires a few years to build up 😉

Of course, my research into this watch is just beginning and that's the best part, but it rarely happens that I haven't been able to find something online. I am not saying that this is a some kind of rare watch, but I find it interesting that there is not too much information or pictures. 😀

Maybe you haven’t been here long enough 😉
Wait and see. The internet can give the illusion everything is out there, and indeed there’s more and more - but not all, that’s the beauty of learning.

What is better than 1940s Longines? This Sei Tacche was found stored together with other watches in a burlap sack, and has been running lately at 1 spd deviation!

Here's my only Longines pocket watch (for very large pockets or, more useful, for sports timing). A nice detail: the very sensitive balance stop mechanism.
