Greetings dear forum participants!
I bought spare parts from Omega, and in addition received this case from Longines. Can anyone share information about what model this is, what movement was used in it?
Thanks!

Hello and welcome to the forum.
First thing first, should you not know what to do with that case, well, let me know 😀
Dibs!

I believe a caliber 12.68z would most probably the one for that case... Similar to mine

Hello, thank you!
I think I know what I want to do with it)
These funsy case lugs inspire you to find a mechanism for it and use it)
(Your watch is beautiful, I love the Art Deco style)
I measured the inside of the case as 26.5mm, but this may not be an accurate measurement. The diameter of the 12.68z caliber, as far as I found, is 27 mm, which, in principle, corresponds.
I found a similar case on ebay, but I couldn’t find exactly the same watch or case.

Does the serial number inside the case under the Longines logo give information about the year of manufacture, or does it not correlate with the date?
Do I understand correctly that this design is from the late 30s, early 40s?

I would expect this case to be from the second half of the 1940`s based on the order number. Can be a nice little project and the movement is possibly 12.68z as already mentioned.

Judging by the size, 33.8 mm, was it a men's watch or a women's? They are small, but then watches were made smaller...

They were gentlemen's watch, as it was a standard size for that period.

What size is your watch? Can you please take a photo of the crown, is it with a logo or just flat?

Not too many people on this forum speak Russian. Much better to use Google Translate and write in English.

Ofcource, It was an automatic translation glitch when it translated the text in the comment entry window, but I didn’t notice it, sorry. Obviously, the official language of the forum is English.

Someone locally was offered me this for sale today (extremely ambitious price ).
Similar dial configuration as one of the above, but slightly different
