As a comparatively recent convert to Omega C cases, I’ve also fallen for Admiral C cases - this one from 1971 with a cal 505 on which the unusual (to me) push crown quick date advance still works well.

The watch, my third, has either been very rarely worn or had the case polished but I’m inclined to believe it was very rarely worn given the overall condition.

Unfortunately a not really correct 13ZN: the case is 1946/47 (batch number 23295), the movement&dial circa 1942 (should have a golden case (ref. 5008). Bought a long time ago, when people were not so knowledgeable about reference numbers (etc., etc.,) and Longines pretty much thought everything was good and legitimised it.

At least a watch you can wear well because you don't have to worry much about the value.

I really like those ones... Probably the next step into my Conquest collection
Thanks. I really like this one, the dial is atunning, I like the needle point hands, the markers are both cool and classy, I even like the crown. I'm not normally a fan of date complications, but this one being at the 12 looks so much more balanced and better to me than at the 3.

This watch has clearly had an active life during its 65 year existence. The arrow has mostly worn off the back.
