Wittnauer Genève Automatic, 10K gold cap

— Made for North America —

Wittnauer is known as Longines' brand for the North American market, and the Genève, from its best years, is a happy combination of usefulness and elegance.

What takes the eye is the fluted bezel scattering light finely. Thick 10K green gold, and after fifty-odd years still bringing real dignity to a cuff.

— A one-piece case —

The one-piece construction, without a case back, is a symbol of the water-resistant technique and the aesthetics of the time.

The austere design, which requires a dedicated wrench to open, has protected calibre C11KS-1 inside it for decades. Pushing the crown advances the calendar on its own.

The silver sunray dial carries fine particles of ageing scattered like stars — the grown-into beauty that only a vintage watch has.

— Easy to live with —

At 34.5mm it is modest and still definitely present in modern dress. Applied markers, and the proud "Genève" signature.
