Vintage Dive Watch

:: LONGINES 1950 HAND-WINDING ::

OPINION                                                          

This Longines watch is a classic. Manufactured by Longines in the early 50's. The watch has a very classic white dial, round and gold-plated case, with manual hand-winding movement by Longines.

I bought this watch few weeks ago at a flea market in Barcelona very interesting "MERCAT DEL BELLCAIRE FIRA DELS ENCANTS" or better known as "ELS ENCANTS VELLS". 

The "Encants vells" or Fira de Bellcaire from Plaça de les Glòries in Barcelona, is one of the oldest markets in Europe. From the fourteenth century is an example of Barcelona's commercial dynamism.
