Title Longines 150th Anniversary Quartz – Ivory Dial Vintage Watch, 32mm Introduction This vintage timepiece from Longines presents a classic round case with a gold-tone finish, paired with a clean ivory dial featuring bold Roman numeral hour markers. A small seconds subdial is positioned at the six o'clock position, adding balance to the overall dial layout. The watch is fitted with a newly replaced leather strap, offering a refined and versatile appearance suited to both casual and formal wear. The dial is signed "Longines Quartz," reflecting the design conventions typical of the brand's later 20th-century output. Historical & Collector Value Longines, founded in Switzerland in 1832, is one of the longest-established names in watchmaking, known for its long-standing involvement in precision timekeeping and aviation instrumentation. The transition to quartz movements during the latter part of the 20th century marked a significant shift in the industry, and models such as this one illustrate how established manufacturers adapted their classic dress-watch aesthetics to incorporate quartz technology. The simple dial layout, Roman numeral indices, and small seconds subdial are characteristic of Longines' dress watch offerings from this period.
