A mid-1930s Longines, powered by the renowned Cal. 12.68z, featuring a Staybrite 30mm case and an अत्यंत rare circular-finished two-tone sector dial.
The beautifully executed sector dial—often referred to as the “three-baka” design, characteristic of the era—features both horizontal and circular finishing, showcasing a high level of craftsmanship. Compared to typical two-tone dials, it has a richer gloss, further enhancing the striking sector layout.
The Staybrite case, an uncommon 30mm size for models equipped with the Cal. 12.68, may be modest in dimensions but offers the solid, substantial construction distinctive of Longines. Combined with the dense and intricate dial design, it presents an exceptional vintage character.
It is fitted with the celebrated Cal. 12.68z, one of Longines’ most iconic movements, known for its wide variations including small seconds, center seconds, and even simplified chronograph configurations.
