Longines reference 5193 fitted with a caliber 12.68N. It was invoiced on 16 September 1944 to the company Catsounotos, which was then Longines’ agent for Cyprus.
Longines registers mention a copper-colored dial with 4 roman numerals.

Not the easiest dial to photograph with the convex crystal, but this is my only salmon dial, and one of my favorites

Nice. Are the numbers silvered?

Yes! They have some tarnish but they appear to be a silver foil.

Does Luigi ever let any of his wonderful watches go. 🙁

As someone who recently picked up a Longines with a “patina” dial, I can only imagine how nice these examples look in person

I had a Parmigiani Rattrapante chrono which I sold a few years ago, super quality vintage Venus movement.

Very very rarely, but I recently had a painful theft, so someone is enjoying them for me.😢

P.S. - None of these though😀
