Up for sale is a very rare and interesting vintage Longines watch featuring a unique Iraqi royal style emblem on the dial. Pieces like this were known to be produced as special presentation or commemorative watches during the Saddam Hussein era, which makes this watch much more than just a timepiece.
The dial carries Arabic writing along with the Iraqi symbol and the well known phrase referring to Qadisiyat Saddam. These details give the watch strong historical character and make it highly collectible for anyone interested in Middle Eastern history or unusual vintage watches.
Longines is a respected Swiss brand with a long heritage, and even their quartz models from this period are known for their reliability and clean design. This piece combines that Swiss quality with a rare and meaningful dial that you will not easily come across again.
