Longines Sei Tacche (1942) Mechanical Vintage Watch w/ Small Seconds

About The Watch:

This Longines Sei Tacche Mechanical (1940s) is a highly sought-after collector's timepiece, noted for its robust movement and military style from the WWII era. It features a small seconds subdial, and green lumed hands on the dial. While the lume no longer shines as it once did, the paint is in phenomenal shape and still shows a green hue in daylight. The stainless steel case offers durability, while the 17 jewel caliber 10L (10.68Z) manually wound mechanical Swiss made movement ensures reliability. This watch exemplifies classic horological craftsmanship.

Sean's Thoughts:

"Sei tacche" is Italian for "six notches", denoting the six notches on the screw down caseback used to open and close it. The specs are that of military grade as Longines had manufactured military watches for both sides in WWII. Highly prized by collectors because of truly how robust it is. Constructed for war, it still to this day feels heavy for a small watch, and the crown feels sturdy yet effortless to set and wind. At nearly 80 years old it can still kick some ass.
