Early Longines Weems Pilot's Wristwatch, c.1939

This is a very early Longines Weems pilot's watch, which predates those supplied to the Air Ministry. As such, this Weems has some minor cosmetic differences, most notably the superior rhodium finish on the movement plates.

The watch is running well and keeping time, although no guarantee is implied. The characteristic bezel turns freely but locks tight against the auxiliary crown used to synchronise the timepiece to a signal.

A great looking and desirable Longine Weems, priced sensibly for the investor, collector or everyday user of fine watches. Presented on a period "Empire" marked military leather watch strap, which is a lovely shade of tan that will colour up further with use.
