This is a vintage wristwatch dating to circa 1965. This is beautiful, clean, and in excellent condition. It was made by Longines’ associate company Wittnauer. The watch runs well and keeps time. The time sets as it should. The date indicator advances as it should. The date can be quick set by pushing in the crown. The case is gold plated with a stainless steel back and it is about 34mm wide not including the crown. It is about 40mm long to the tips of the lugs. The movement is a high quality Wittnauer C11K manual winder and it has 17 jewels. The band is a high quality JB Champion gold filled tops expansion bracelet with black suede leather inserts. This will fit a wrsit that is about 7 inches around or larger. This uses a 17 to 18 mm band which could easily be replaced if you prefer a different style or length. The crystal is clean and clear and has no scratches. The dial is near pristine, original, un-restored, and is depicted accurately in the pictures.
