1940s Longines Cal.12.68z rare "Pointer date" Two-tone dial in S.Steel with Archives (unpolished case)

This is an unpolished piece. The Cal.12.68z, which features the rare "Pointer Date" function, is installed in this watch—a rarity for Longines, which was known for producing many in-house movements, including chronographs. Despite its compact 33mm size, the concave design of the steel case provides a robust, heavy feel, showcasing the presence unique to unpolished pieces. The dial features a circular finish, unlike the usual vertical and horizontal two-tone finish, giving this 33mm model a beautifully condensed and distinctive aesthetic. This precious timepiece comes with an archive document.
