It belonged to my Grandfather. Obviously it's a Longines, but which model and how old is it (I'm guessing at least 50 years)?



Thought this would be the best place to post. Thanks in anticipation...

It doesn't appear to be a specific model (if it was, it would probably be written on the dial e.g. 'Flagship'). Looks like 1950's; the date of manufacture can be established from the serial number on the movement.

Thanks both. Having 'googled' around a bit I think you're right, it probably does date from the 50's. I can't find a match though neither for the dial or the strap.


I'll take it to a dealer and get the back removed and get the serial number as suggested.
