Late 1940s production Longines Ref. 5045 in stainless steel, a 37mm oversized model with a silver Arabic numeral dial. It is housed in a round-shaped 37mm oversized case characteristic of the era and powered by the in-house Longines Cal. 12.68N movement.
The dial features printed applied Arabic numerals combined with engraved indices, paired with blued steel leaf hands in a finely executed and elaborate design. The well-balanced proportions unique to the 37mm oversized case with center seconds stand out beautifully.
The Cal. 12.68N fitted to this watch is one of Longines’ representative legendary movements, known for its wide range of variations, including center seconds, small seconds, and hacking seconds versions.
