Other: The Longines All Guard/Conquest line included some incredibly beautiful watches and this rare reference 9006-4 is no exception. It is simple and understated, yet still elegant enough to wear with a suit and tie. This particular example features a unique patinated dial that really explodes out in the sun as seen in our photos. We love how the unpolished 35mm case wears on the wrist and the original winding crown is a nice touch. Check out the crisp caseback! You get a versatile stainless steel watch from a powerhouse brand with fantastic proportions and an in-house automatic movement at a very affordable price point. Speaking of the movement, it has just been completely overhauled by our watchmaker with a NOS Longines 19AS mainspring installed at the time of service. The watch also comes fitted with a proper NOS Longines 9006 replacement GS acrylic crystal and fresh caseback gasket for peace of mind. The original parts will be included with the watch.
