Notes

The Extract from the Archives, dated May 26, 2021, mentioned that the movement of this watch was invoiced on September 23, 1946, to the Longines agent, Maison Longines-Wittnauer Company Inc., United States of America.

The other parts of the watch (case, dial and hands) were produced locally under license from Longines. Unfortunately, since the relevant archives are not kept in the Longines Branding and Heritage Department in Saint-Imier, this Department of the Manufacture is unable to provide any further information on this watch.
