Time to tone down the summer/nautical themes soon 🤷‍♂️

I joined this community 25 August 2025. Since the. So much has happened in life, and I’ve learned so much from this community. This includes inspiring me to haul out all my watch’s and get new batters for those in need and wearing those that had been sitting on the bench. I’ve also enjoyed seeing men who are passionate share their favorite watches and the wind of getting a grail watch. I reached Level 7 at some point today, and that’s thanks to you because I’ve had Limited engagements on this community the last couple days. Thanks so much for your welcoming and supportive community.

Since @Warren Money & @Sean Kavanaugh brought out "Blue Monday". I figured I'd jump on the wagon! While Monday's are anything but "Blue" for me its a great reason to break out an easy to wear watch for the day. Monday's are my busiest days of the week and they start at 6:45 am with meetings and go late tonight as I have a meeting in the city until about 9pm give or take. This is just a really easy watch to grab and enjoy! WOTD: Longines "Zulu Time" with a blue dial on a bracelet! It's an easily approachable watch and the brand does not get the love and attention it deserves! Here's a bit of Longines History for the group according to Grok 😎 History of the Longines Watch Company Longines, a Swiss luxury watchmaker renowned for its blend of tradition, elegance, and precision, traces its origins to the Jura Mountains in Switzerland. Founded in 1832 in the village of Saint-Imier by watchmaker Auguste Agassiz (brother of the famous biologist Louis Agassiz) in partnership with lawyers Henri Raiguel and Florian Morel, the company initially operated under the name Raiguel Jeune & Cie. as a comptoir d'établissage—a workshop where local artisans produced components at home for assembly and export. Agassiz became sole proprietor in 1846 after his partners retired, focusing on pocket watches for international markets, particularly in the Americas. In 1852, Agassiz enlisted his nephew, economist Ernest Francillon, to modernize operations. Facing competition from American industrialized watchmaking (inspired by Francillon's 1850s study trip to the U.S., which produced a landmark report on efficient production), Francillon centralized manufacturing. In 1867, he built the company's first factory on a meadow called Les Longines ("long meadows" in the local dialect), naming the brand after the site. This marked Longines as the world's first watch company to assemble timepieces under one roof, pioneering mechanized production while maintaining Swiss craftsmanship. The iconic winged hourglass logo, symbolizing time's passage and the brand's precision, was trademarked in 1889—the first Swiss watch brand registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization.

I always wanted one of the mystery dial watches and I found this one on eBay a few years ago. I like the simplicity of it with no markings not even a brand identification. Came in a good price, including the original box work as well. And knowing that some farmer won this for having the best chickens at a state fair in 1958 was pretty cool.
