A truly stunning, all original 1940s Longines "Tre Tacche" in solid stainless steel, with rare Breguet numeral dial and subsidiary seconds subdial. This watch is housed in the famous Longines stepped bezel case and contains a high grade Swiss movement. The term "Tre Tacche" was coined by Italian collectors and refers to the 3 notches used to open the case back (an early form of waterproofing).
Simply a gorgeous example of a superb quality timepiece. Built like a tank, this style of watch was initially for military use with a clear, easy to read dial in smaller, less cumbersome 30mm diameter case.
This particular example is remarkably well preserved with warm caramel patina throughout. A rare watch to find with this dial layout from the heyday of the Longines watch company.
Absolutely gorgeous on the wrist; bright and sharp with a wonderful vintage look.
