On of my favorites.

 

Wow this is beautiful!

 

This is an old photo, but timeless nonetheless. My Jamboree 6884-6 from 1959 released at Baselworld in the same year! Running on the trusty cal.280, an in-house movement also developed in 1959. (Don't worry the hour hand isn't missing, just hidden behind the minute hand)

 

I really need more Longines in my collection, but for now just the one and wearing it today.

 

Don't we all?

 

Beautiful Dan, I don't know if there is a chance but i am going with my Dibs.

Invoiced on July 30, 1936 to Ostersetzer - 12.68z ref. 3638 on vintage ladder bracelet

 

Spencer I just love this one with the 3 stars what is the reason we see some with the 3 stars and some without? Did this signify something?

 

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe three star dials were for the South American market.

 

Specifically, Peru

 

Thanks! Was it only Peru?

 

That’s the only market that I know they were absolutely used. Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil did not have the three stars.

 

Thanks again!

 

Flagships from the 60s and 70s also had 3 stars as part of the logo for some reason. Typically these were small and printed just above the word "Flagship" in script. Rumar89 is correct that Longines' agent in Peru added the 3 stars to their watches. These were bolded and typically underneath the Longines logo at 12.

 

I like it. I have a reguar 30CH without the three stars, but I much prefer those with them - I think it adds another interesting artefact onto the dial!
