Rare find for a brand new Polara in original box. Stainless steel case with two battery compartments in the back. Satinless steel expanding bracelet. Smoked perspex cover to light emitting diode display. This exact Longines Wittnauer Polara Watch is in the British Museum with lots of details and an interesting story. I am not allowed to post the link. You can find it if you search for the Polara watch, Here is some of the story posted about this watch from the British Museum website: The firm Wittnauer was founded by Albert Wittnauer, who emigrated from Switzerland to America in 1872. With his brothers Louis and Emile he established a business that imported Swiss-made watches. In later years, following a merger, the company became Longines-Wittnauer. That Wittnauer was keen to move into the new market is well demonstrated by its early marketing of this LED quartz watch. It uses a unit made by the Hughes Aircraft Corporation, responsible for very large production in America of quartz watch 'movements'. The smoked glass is dark until buttons in the case band are pushed in, either singly or in combination, to illuminate the dial to show either the time in hours and minutes or seconds, or the date On display at the British Museum in Room 39, Display Case 14 #83 according to their website. It is extremely rare to find a "NEW" Polara Watch that has not been worn. This has been in a collection for many years and is now in an Estate. Two new batteries have been installed and the watch is working perfectly. For Collectors, this is a unique find.
