We’ve seen several with an applied medallion there. The question I would love to see answered is if they all came with one and they so easily fell off, or if some did and some didn’t.
Skylight! Has bracelet, no back medallion. This one looks really pretty- and has make offer.
If you felt like you missed out on the Technos love- here ya’ go.

This was a classic case of ‘buy the seller.’ I’ve been passively looking for a simple three hand for around the price of a nice dinner as my first vintage piece. This checked all the boxes and comes from a well known and trusted member of this community. James is obviously very active in this thread; not only sharing interesting finds but also sharing interesting details about them. So yeah this was a no brainer for me. I’m excited to finally wear a piece that was been around the sun more times than I have 😀
These old three handers were so comfortable with the light weight, slim profile and down-turned lugs. You will forget you even have the watch on. I am baffled why anyone wants to wear >40mm. I suppose if you thick wrists and you wanted them to look smaller.
The Longines I sold to another member here was like that- slim and sleek. I wore that regularly with a suit for work doing some seriously moving around and never felt it on my wrist. Once you get used to the smaller size (easier with long sleeves as you don’t notice it at all until you need to know the time). It’s hard to go back to a wrist anchor.
2 weeks with a Bulova A11 and my Speedmaster feels like a dinner plate.
I can only assume it’s the one I bought. I primarily collect three handers (mostly Omegas), but that Longines is the most impossibly thin and lightest watch in my collection. It’s also incredibly good looking. And it will never be sold.
Starlights…
Japanese ones do come with the logo on the back too, mine has one.
Such good watches, the Conny Omega should have made.
Someone else thought so too…found this on a Japanese auction site yesterday!
I don’t know if I should stone it or applaud, laugh or cry…so many mixed emotions…I feel dirty.
It seems to relate to where they were sold initially. I think there was a change of owner and the loss of the image or logo copyright in certain jurisdictions. For example the ones from Brazil all seem to have the medallions whilst Japanese models never have them.
Of course it might be the glue was better in South America….
Both of my Sky Lights have medallions, though they are two different designs…go figure.
