{"product_id":"longines-6-tacche-radium","title":"Longines \"6 tacche\" radium","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined expression of post-war Swiss watchmaking, this \u003cstrong\u003eLongines\u003c\/strong\u003e time-only reference represents one of the most balanced and architecturally interesting executions of the \u003cstrong\u003elate 1940s\u003c\/strong\u003e. What immediately sets it apart is its rare oversized proportion for the era: a full 36mm case, unusually large for its time, giving the watch a strong contemporary presence while maintaining vintage elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003estepped case\u003c\/strong\u003e construction is one of its defining design features. The layered geometry of the lugs and mid-case creates a subtle play of light and shadow, adding depth and structure without compromising the clean, functional identity of the watch. This architectural approach elevates what would otherwise be a minimal time-only piece into something far more sophisticated from a case design perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe cream dial has aged uniformly, developing a warm tone that complements the period-correct radium-filled indexes.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe layout remains perfectly balanced, prioritizing legibility and harmony. The \u003cstrong\u003epatina\u003c\/strong\u003e is consistent and natural, reinforcing the authenticity of the watch without compromising its clarity.\u003cbr\u003eInside, the respected \u003cstrong\u003eLongines calibre 12.68Z\u003c\/strong\u003e ensures reliability and robustness. Known for its longevity and serviceability, it remains one of the most important manual-wind movements of the brand’s mid-century production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case back and lugs show \u003cstrong\u003ematching numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e under the lugs, confirming integrity and originality of the case set. Dated to circa 1948 (serial 7.6xx.xxx), this example sits in the early post-war production phase, when Longines was defining the technical and aesthetic standards that would later become reference points for the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Longines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58216840003968,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/4738\/7269\/files\/IMG-8057.png?v=1780742855","url":"https:\/\/luxotimefirenze.com\/products\/longines-6-tacche-radium","provider":"Luxo Time Firenze","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
