The Longines WWW or L2.731.4.53.2

Post by Rambam » Sun Jan 17, 2010 4:39 am

I just saw this one on the Longines website and it got me completely captivated :love: I want one, no I NEED one! I`m already picturing it on a sand Nato or maybe an Olive one :headbang: What do you guys think of this? I`ve found very little info on the net, but it`s a reproduction of some sort, very similar to the real thing. I just love the military looks of it :love:
A very nice size for small wrists too at 38,5mm :thumbsup:

Crisp and clean, looks very cool.

What movement does it have?

Missed opportunity I would say, date spoils it, sub dial way too high, should have used 6498 to get the position right.....

i dunno, would a 6498 even fit in there? i really dont think so.

i do agree, id prefer a no date, but the date does tell me its a throwback watch built for today's standards, which many times say a date is mandatory.
