    Nice watch, but maybe you can share some more pictures of the box. And tell us if it is original to the watch?

    Does Wittnauer count since they were technically Longines?

    Here's my fairly rare Electro-Chron box, along with my fairly rare black dial Electro-Chron.

    Awww :(. But it says Wittnauer-Longines on the box. Just co-branded?

    Edit: Just import buddies it seems. Ah well. It says Longines on the box. I'll leave it here...

    Longines purchased Wittnauer after WWII (and other watch companies like Record). However the watches remained separate.
    Prior to that Wittnauer was Longines distributor in the US and the names were signed together on Longines watch boxes.
