Longines Oversized

About this reference

The Longines reference 6119-6 is a vintage timepiece produced during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Collectors prioritize this reference for its 37.5mm stainless steel case, which was considered oversized for the era and features distinctive downturned lugs. The watch typically houses the manual-wind caliber 12.68Z, a movement noted for its durability and finishing. Dial configurations vary, but examples featuring original radium luminous plots and sector layouts are the most sought after. Due to its limited production and the modern preference for larger vintage cases, the 6119-6 is relatively rare on the secondary market. Current market values generally range between $3,000 and $6,000 depending on the dial condition and originality. A notable variant includes the "Tre Tacche" style screw-down case back found on some early iterations, which enhances the watch's structural rigidity and historical appeal among military-style watch enthusiasts.
