Not Your Usual Longines-Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch
First, forgive me if, in all my newbie-ness to this site, I posted this in the wrong place. I would appreciate any posting guidance that's out there. That being said, I have a very unusual Longines-Lindbergh Hour Angle watch. I say unusual because of the hundreds I've seen online, I haven't seen one exactly like the one I have. It belonged to my deceased husband's father who, I believe, purchased it somewhere in the late 30s or 40s. What makes it unusal is that, first, the case is not hinged. There is a small but weird looking contraption at the base of the case with some kind of spring/mechanical doohickey. Again, forgive my lack of technical terms. Secondly, there are two side dials for winding, I assume one for the time, and one for something else (?). The dials are flat and circular, not the little crown-like type I've seen elsewhere.

Navitimer on custom leather strap on push button clasp
I just replace my steel pilot bracelet to a custom SNRPstrap leather strap to a Breitling push button clasp. Before this I also tried a deployment clasp on calf leather but the deployment clasp hurt my wrist because of the design. The inner sleeves where the leather tucks under put pressure on my wrist and caused uncontrollable headaches everytime I wore it. I decided to fit a push button clasp and ordered custom made leather straps in whiskey color. The picture speaks for itself and the strap and clasp is so comfortable. It looks elegant and also sporty with the oversized push button clasp. I love it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
