The upper part of the case has a sunburst finish, and the lower part has a brushed finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integration of the crown into the side of the case ensures that the watch maintains a clean, streamlined profile.

Initially, it was a small family business operating under the name Kurth Frères, manufacturing watch components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company quickly began to build its position thanks to precision, reliability, and high-quality craftsmanship. In 1939, the name Certina was adopted, derived from the Latin word \"certus,\" meaning \"certain.\" The name accurately reflected the brand's development direction, which became increasingly associated with reliability and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA turning point for Certina was the introduction of the DS (Double Security) concept in 1959. This solution significantly increased the watches' resistance to shocks and water, cementing Certina's reputation as a manufacturer of robust, practical, and high-performance timepieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe durability of Certina watches was confirmed, among others, during the Dhaulagiri expedition in 1960 and the SEALAB II project in 1965.

The official registration of the business occurred in 1890.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the outset, Léon Breitling was primarily interested in chronographs and the precise measurement of short intervals of time.

This movement is particularly interesting for collectors because it emerged during a crucial period in the brand's history, directly after World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Calibre 23.ZS succeeded the older 10.68Z movement. The previous calibre was a very successful design, but by the second half of the 1940s, it required modernization. The 10.68Z movement was introduced in 1925 and was closely related to the even earlier 11.62 calibre. Longines therefore needed a new design to meet the demands of the post-war market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt that time, almost half of Longines' production went to the United States, and the brand's American agent had a significant influence on the direction of production in Saint-Imier. It was the needs of the American market and the necessity to modernize older movements that contributed to the development of the Calibre 23.ZS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 23.ZS movement is historically significant as one of the few new movements from a Swiss manufacturer that emerged directly after World War II. Europe was economically weakened at the time, and even the largest watch companies were cautious about major investments in research, machinery, and tooling needed to create an entirely new calibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLongines allocated approximately 20,000 Swiss francs to research on the 23.ZS movement and then another 25,000 Swiss francs for tooling to enable its commercial production. This illustrates how important this movement project was for the brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Calibre 23.ZS was produced in parallel with the closely related 23.Z version. The 23.ZS model features a central seconds hand, while the 23.Z used a more traditional layout with a small seconds sub-dial at the bottom of the dial. Both versions are valued by collectors and hold their place in Longines' watchmaking history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the Longines 23.ZS was a modern construction for its time. The movement was equipped with an anti-shock system and anti-magnetic protection. Both solutions were greatly developed during World War II and subsequently adapted for higher-class civilian watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe movement has 17 jewels, operates at a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour, and offers approximately 44 hours of power reserve. Its diameter is about 23.69 mm, the mounting diameter is about 23.3 mm, and the height is about 4.6 mm. The lift angle is 46 degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase and Dial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch case is made of stainless steel, which has then been gold-plated. It features a classic, round shape and elegant proportions typical of watches from the late 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case diameter is approximately 34 mm without the crown, the width with the crown is approximately 36 mm, the height is approximately 9 mm, and the lug-to-lug dimension is approximately 38 mm. These proportions are typical for elegant vintage watches, which sit well on the wrist and maintain a subtle, classic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case is styled in a manner characteristic of Longines watches from this period. The gold-plated finish gives it a more elegant, warm, and classic appearance, well suited to a 1950s watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch has a screw-down case back and an original crown, which is not signed on this particular piece. The crystal is hesalite, or acrylic. This type of crystal was commonly used in historical watches – it is lightweight, relatively shatter-resistant, and authentically represents the character of vintage watches. While it may be more susceptible to minor scratches than sapphire crystal, its advantage is that it can be polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial has a classic layout with a central seconds hand, a result of using the 23.ZS movement.

In subsequent decades, the company grew, and Ernest Francillon played a key role in the brand's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1867, Ernest Francillon brought together previously dispersed watchmaking operations under one roof, to a factory located in an area known as \"Les Longines,\" or \"The Long Meadows.\" This name is the origin of today's Longines brand name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the same period, the brand's first movement, designated 20A, was presented, marking Longines' path toward more mechanized and modern watch production.
