Those sexy long lugs - My Longines LK44
This is my Longines LK44 from the early 1950s which I acquired just the beginning of this year.
Art deco style and with a set of unique looking lugs. This watch is powered by the caliber 23Z, 17-jewel manual winding movement. Size is 25mm width and a 44mm lug-to-lug measurement. A true dress timepiece appropriate for the gentleman of those era.
I am wearing this on a shiny lizzard pattern strap which adds a more dressy vibe to it. I also bought a matching 3rd party signed buckle to complete the look of this vintage watch.

That's fantastic! I share your appreciation for Art Deco design.
Back when they understood the shape of a wrist, lugs curved downward sufficiently. More lost technology. Very few know how to do this anymore.

And look at the proper sizing: the strap is part of the display.
Back when I used to comment on WUS there was some thread or another on dress watches. My opinion then as now is to put a gold vintage watch on a nice black strap and "instant dress and class".
