According to the Archives of Longines, the present watch was sold to the Nederlandsche Horlogehendel in Amsterdam, Holland, on 20 July 1951.

The present watch is preserved in superb condition considering its age and its military purposes. The watch still retains its original ball-shaped crown, designed to allow the winding with aviator's gloves.
This chronograph is a fine and rare example of a stainless steel Longines "stopseconde" pilot's wristwatch. The combination of the unusual and legendary calibre 12.68 Z movement, the exceptionally beautiful original black dial and the excellent overall condition of the case render this watch exceedingly rare.
