This is a lovely condition Swiss made FULLY signed key wind and set HIGH END bar cylinder movement. This movement is probably a LONGINES movement looking at its quality. It is signed by Baume and Co. The watch runs, and started to tick after two turns of the key. It has been oiled and checked. The watch keeps good time as tested over a 24 hour period. As always, a service would be recommended for optimum timekeeping and performance. It winds smoothly, and the key setting works as it should. The chain ring is solid silver a little loose fitting but is entirely original to the watch! A key will be supplied so that it can be used straight away!
Please remember that vintage watches have survived for many decades by being treated well. Vintage watches are not for wearing while doing yard work, working out, or swimming. Vintage watches cannot keep time like their quartz cousins and will need altering on average between +-2 to +-5 mins per day. They are a little more destructible than modern watches. Vintage watches also require periodic service and cleaning. Every couple of years, they would like their 20,000 mile checkup, oil change, and general service. By taking care of your vintage watch, you will have years of great service, and a quality heirloom to pass to another generation.
