Greetings, I'm a newbie here. Please forgive me my sins. Just a question regarding Longines from the mid fifties....... I really like the layout of the face of the gold watch here, but prefer the case of the stainless steel one. Would someone be able to inform me whether Longines made any watches in this period with just the numbers 12 and 6 and the date window in this inverted position, but with a case in the shape of the stainless steel example, be it in gold or stainless steel? Thanks in advance.
Yes, Longines did manufacture some steel watches with only 12 and 6 numerals. But the example that you show is an uncommon variation, as the date displayed towards the center of the dial, and it was not used for a long period of time. So finding one in steel would require a good deal of patience. Finding a non-date version would be much easier.
I kind of managed to answer my own question with a Google image search. Would love to find one of these for sale.
