·Apart from Comet, seems identical to the more common Conquest version. Welcome to Beefy Lug club!

··Pratts! Will I B******S!!!One of the earlier Comets, probably early-mid 60s.
The moniker was used on a wide variety of references, including the late 60's/early 70's Comets, which are quite funky and colorful.

··ΩF InvestiGatorWatch is from the mid-1950's.
From what I can tell, the Comet is an earlier name for the Conquest. Case looks to be the same. The All Guard is similar, except that it is usually found in steel.
I think that both models were consolidated into the name Conquest around 1957.
Hope this helps,

··Home For Wayward WatchesSure like the looks of your new Longines Comet from the photos provided Barking Mad! Love the solid gold case.
Will be a treat to see your photos of it when it arrives, as well as your assessment.
Didn’t notice the date of the original post, but it’s still relevant to me. Now I gotta go find the follow up thread.
