DESCRIPTION
DETAILS
Listed is a vintage 1960s Longines Mystery Dial men’s wristwatch in good working condition. The watch was recently serviced and is running well.
The case measures approximately 33mm excluding the crown and 38mm lug to lug. It features a round case with straight lugs and takes 16mm straps.
The dial has a warm yellowish ivory tone with star and lightning-style markers, giving the watch a very distinctive mid-century look. What makes this piece especially unique is the mystery dial design. Rather than traditional hands, the dial itself rotates, with the star serving as the hour indicator and the dauphine-style hand serving as the minute indicator. This watch is powered by a manual winding movement.
Condition is overall good. The case shows small signs of usage consistent with age. The dial, hands, crystal, and case are shown clearly in the photos.
The watch comes on a two-piece strap; this does not come with a box or papers.
