VTG 50's Longines Men's Hand Wind Watch Cal 23ZS Reference 6502
1956 issue, based on the serial number 9085872
This watch has been in a drawer for at least 5 years and may require a proper cleaning, lube and calibration. I have no additional history of this watch except was one owner, my retired neighbor's, it winds and works. I had it running for three days with no issues and it kept good time.
The quick release all leather strap appears very clean, new with no signs of wear
Clean movement and crystal (review photos).
Swiss Made
