Authentic World War I Era Longines "Trench" Watch

Key Features:
Movement: Original Longines 13.34 manual wind movement. The balance wheel swings freely (rotates easily when blown or moved), which is a great sign for restorers.
Dial: Original enamel dial with classic bold Arabic numerals and small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock. Has a beautiful vintage patina.
Hands: Stunning original blued steel hands.
Case: Nickel/Steel case with fixed "wire" lugs, typical for military watches of this period. Hinged back cover.
Condition Report:
This watch is being sold AS-IS for restoration or parts.
Working Condition: The balance is intact and moves freely, but the watch has not been tested for timekeeping and likely needs a professional service (cleaning and oiling) due to its age.
Cosmetic Condition: The dial shows signs of aging and dust. The case has some surface wear and scratches consistent with its 100+ year history. Please study the high-resolution photos carefully as they form part of the description.
This is a fantastic project for a vintage watch enthusiast or a great addition to any military history collection.
