·Regarding the dark blue box, it was still supplied in 1955/1956.

·Thank you for sharing this @jef33
There are two kinds of these blue boxes, one with and one without
the winged hourglass logo. Maybe Longines did a revival of this
logo in the 50`s?

·I am surprised that a 12.68z / 12L was supplied in a cardboard box.
I assume it is the movement before the 30L that helped Longines win many observatory prizes.
I guess that at that time, the wristwatch was a much more functional. You would only have one watch and would use it all the time. The box was like having a box to a medical device - people didn't think much of it.
I wonder what people would think now if they knew that we collected the boxes.

·Resurecting old thread 😀
While waiting for box to arrive, I'm trying to date it. Looking at Longines historical logos, it should be around early 40's?

In this box, a 12.68Z (who knows if it was actually sold in this box...) with the movement number 8.713184 arrived at my place.

·Recovery Longines Box Thread 💪
I got a Longines box with Majetek Longines (1944).
In my opinion, the Longines box does not belong to the watch because it is too small. Box dimensions: 12.8 cm x 4.8 cm x 2.1 cm. What are the other dimensions of this box?
