hey

I have a 1940-45 military marked longines

The case number is23087 132

and the movement number is 6964304.

And under the balance i can see a number ending 68n

68n does not appear to be the ending to any longines cal.

So how do i find the calibre of this watch?

cheers

Its Sweep Seconds movement Cal. 12.68N. Used In Longines military watches during wwii. Maybe your not seeing the 12 it may be hidden by the balance cock or wheel.

The other common calibre is the smaller 10.68.
