Manufactured in the late 1930s, this fine Longines wristwatch is powered by the Cal.25.17 and features a rare hooded rectangular case with a black Roman numeral dial. It is preserved in excellent condition.
The uniquely constructed rectangular case conceals the strap attachments within the middle case and caseback, giving it a solid, waterproof-case-like presence. The black gilt dial showcases an exceptional design combining printed Roman numerals with engraved dot markers. The railroad minute track, indexes, and logo are all executed using the gilt process, creating a rich and refined aesthetic.
Equipped with Longines’ in-house rectangular movement, Cal.25.17, this remarkable timepiece fully embodies the high level of quality and design characteristic of Longines during this era.
