When my watchmaker returns it from a movement service, I will post some pictures.
Thank you again!
Longines Majetek, another nice picture.
A military watch to match my military mood of the moment? Picture shamelessly stolen to a good auction house, Christies. I am totally under the charm of these old Longines pilot watches, lastly. Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 201...
Military watch for military mood.
You can use that as the opening sentence of this post.
I just receive the email from Longines regarding the one I recently acquired.
Here is the email: If I am reading this correctly, this is a civilian version, and an early version. My original estimation of 1935 is correct! I should have taken the bet on the year 1935 ...
That is very interesting. I guess there's no way to know for sure.
Thank you so much for all your help. I really appreciate it. Happy New Year to you!
The military connection mystery seems to have been solved according to this letter from Longines.
Longines confirmed the watch is/was indeed a pilot watch for the Czech Army. It has no engraving on the caseback, and no "Anti-Magnetique" on the dial. Has anyone else seen this variant from 1935? Very curious. Thanks! ...
So you are ready to go to war?
Muster the troops! We are with you! Please make sure to supply each of us with this Longines so we can coordinate attack times!
