I purchased my Longines Hour Angle chronograph new from a Longines AD in 1996. The original black leather band (with extender) is pictured not installed on the watch. The unbranded black nylon NATO band installed on the watch was purchased from Dakota Watch Co. for $7.
Hi,
This is a 13.33 Z. - manufactured since 1910 it was the precursor of the 13ZN. The Case is original.
The special feature of that movement ist the instantly jumping minute-counter.
An early 13ZN should look like this:
I have two of Longines first entry into automatics from 1950, the caliber 22. These are both in 14k yellow gold.
The cal 22A. I really do love the Art Deco styling of this one:
...and then the cal 22AS:
I do like this one a lot, too, with its amazing dial, and super-cool lugs (some more 'Deco') but It may be the one to go in order to make room for more...👍
Picked up my second Longines today from the post office.
Simple and svelte is new to me and oh so delicious.
There's a working man's dirty thumbnail in here so look out!
