What makes this timepiece exceptional

Caliber 22A, which powers this watch, is the first automatic movement manufactured by Longines, put on the market in 1945. This caliber, which at the time represented a break with the principles of watchmaking construction used until then by the company, is characterized by a bi-directional rotor operating the winding in both directions, a feature found on most automatic movements today. The exceptional condition of the piece, featuring an original immaculate dial, provides a worthy setting for this exceptional movement.
