I know this catalog but I forgot about this watch. Thanks for posting it. Though it is a bit difficult to tell from the image, I agree that the hands look to be a combination of dark (presumably blue) and light (presumably silver). I will say that the hour and minute hands look to be of a different style than is typical of Longines from the 1940s. But still, it is an intriguing addition to our discussion.

This posting is very interesting, thanks. Indeed it looks like a combination of blue and silver hands. So it seems that everything is possible in the Longines universe.

copy out of an official Longines sales catalogue 1941 (one year apart, from the watch in question),
black dial, blued steel luminous hour and minute hand, silver hand at small seconds as far as I can see...

Do you have the larger image from which this was cropped?

Am I the only one who thinks the '18 jewels' on the dial makes it look cheap?

Is seen on other dials as @DirtyDozen12 stated. I also have never seen this before. So legit for the south american area.

Note the $500 (!!!) Olympic timer.

4 x the cost of the 13zn.

For 300 CHF you can get confirmation from Longines.

I think it is legit but still it feels cheap

Thank you for posting this. And I hope that you are doing well!

Any thoughts on blue hands with grey dials or 13ZN handsets with blue and silver hands?

Another example of a declared jewel count, with an interesting screw-back case:

Dont know what to make of it because when I choose English the page changes to the starting page. htthttps://www.matsuya.com/ginza/events/2023/0920/watch-aw-2/

(Google translate)

So it seems to be for sale and JPY 22m is about EUR 139k 😁)

Not sure it came this way from the factory given the SS case and gold dial and hands.

Interesting question. Will that be mentioned in the extract?

You can always ask about the details of the dial as per register from heritage department. But for this price I might just send the watch to confirm and get a formal certificate from Longines as a seller instead of the free certification. If I had the money to buy this I will need that certificate from Longines.
