Housed in a classic 10K gold-filled case and powered by the highly regarded in-house Calibre 23Z manual-wind movement, it offers the kind of timeless proportions, mechanical pedigree, and restrained sophistication that continue to make vintage Longines such compelling collectors' pieces today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat truly sets this example apart, however, is its extraordinary and very rare Moiré swirl dial. As the watch moves through changing light, the textured surface produces a mesmerizing, almost hypnotic effect, creating a remarkable sense of depth. Complementing the dial are slim applied indices and a beautifully balanced crosshair sub-seconds register, lending the watch an elegant architectural quality that perfectly captures the design language of the era. The result is a distinctive and increasingly difficult-to-find Longines, one that pairs strong mechanical credentials with a truly unforgettable dial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eHappy hunting,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e- Brent\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10K gold-filled case in good condition showing honest wear throughout.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe lower right lug shows a some scratches on its side, and mild bending\/warping, which does not affect the functionality or wearability of the watch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe textured Moiré dial displays soft patina consistent with age.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFire-blued sub-seconds hand is believed to be a later service replacement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eRunning well at approximately -3 to -12 seconds per day.
