This Longines military watch dates from the period of the Second World War and is known as the “da caviglia” (“ankle watch”). Its dimensions immediately set it apart from an ordinary wristwatch: the stainless steel case measures 60 mm in diameter.
In addition to hours and minutes, the watch has an 8-day timer. The crystal is mineral and the strap is leather. It is an object that belongs to service watchmaking rather than civilian watchmaking, and it will interest those who collect vintage military instruments and the Longines production intended for specific uses.
