I had planned to change from a watch with no calendar, today, into one with a calendar. But in scanning my collection, I decided to wear my 1922 Longines. Canadian made, white gold filled case, 15-jewel, calibre 12.92 movement, vitreous enamel dial, probably originally with radium numerals. Original hands, re-lumed . What you see is the end result of a lengthy restoration. This case came to me with a basket case 12.92 calibre movement in it. It sat for probably close to 50 years, in a drawer of scrap watches. Then, one day, another Longines came my way with a 12.92 calibre movement, in much better shape, but with a trashed case and vitreous enamel dial. The owner and I made a deal, and I ended up with it. So this is the product of merging the best parts of the two watches.

NAVITIMER 806. It’s one of the 4 watches from the collection I probably would never sell.

A rare appearance for a watch I often forget I own.

It’s got more numerals on the dial than all my other watches put together.

And a railtrack!

I have always admired the Oris styling but have never managed to get one into my collection, yours is rather attractive, how many millimetres is the dial?

My trusty Planet Ocean 2500C, purchased in 2010 and worn 24/7 until I was bitten by the watch acquisition bug in 2019.

Just after the 14,017’ summit of Wilson peak. (The mountain on the coors light can.) you can see Lizard Head peak in the background.
