Longines tank watch from the late 1930s with such a strong Art Deco presence is a rare opportunity. But one with a deep black dial, luminous-style painted numerals, and matching cathedral hands in original condition is an exceptional find.

This striking rectangular piece from 1938 is powered by Longines' manually wound Cal. 2517, housed in a slim Staybrite steel case. The proportions—tall and elegant—capture the streamlined design sensibility of the Art Deco period. The bold numerals and geometric minute track add visual depth without overcomplicating the dial.

CASE:

Staybrite stainless steel rectangular case
20 mm (width) x 35 mm (length, without crown) / 9.5 mm thick
serial number 5812643 dates to 1938

MOVEMENT:
