I recently bought this as a non-runner. I was drawn to the octagonal case, black glossy dial and elegant integrated bracelet.

Inside is a cal 950.2 a nice 11 jewel vintage quartz movement. Battery acid had leaked and fried the electrics. I salvaged the mechanical parts, they cleaned up well, and found a donor for the electronics module. It's now ticking away.

Just need a linen suit, some deck shoes and a Panama hat to rock the look!

Going with this tank today, circa 1944. Cheers!
I've always thought that 30s and 40s Longines shared a lot of design language with contemporary Hamilton.
