--- Introduction --- The Longines Présence has long embodied the house's understated, classical approach to the dress watch: a slim round case, a clean dial and nothing superfluous. This 1990s example pairs a warm champagne dial with a gold-plated case, slender applied baton indices and fine blued hands, complemented by a discreet date window at three o'clock. Powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement, it is an effortlessly wearable piece that suits both formal and everyday occasions. It is presented on a black leather strap (aftermarket) and remains a refined, timeless choice from one of Switzerland's most storied watchmakers. --- Specifications --- Brand: Longines Series: Présence Reference: Not legible on the case back Movement: Swiss quartz, with date Case Material: Gold-plated case with stainless steel case back Crystal: Flat crystal, believed to be sapphire Dial: Champagne with applied baton indices, blued hands and date window at 3 o'clock Case Back: Stainless steel, press-fitted Bracelet: Black leather strap with pin buckle (aftermarket, not original Longines) Period: 1990s Country of Origin: Switzerland --- Condition Report --- Overall: Good pre-owned condition, consistent with age and regular wear, with a clean and attractive dial. Case & Bezel: The gold plating remains largely bright, with small areas of plating wear and discolouration at the lug tips and a few minor spots along the bezel edge. Light surface marks commensurate with use. Dial & Crystal: The dial is clean and presents very well, with crisp printing and intact indices. The crystal shows no notable damage. Bracelet & Clasp: Black leather strap with a silver-tone pin buckle, both aftermarket and not original Longines. The strap shows light signs of use. The case back displays light scratches, and the engraved logo on the case back is worn. Functions: The watch has been checked by us and is running, with the hands advancing correctly at the time of listing. The date function is present at three o'clock. A service by a qualified watchmaker is recommended at the new owner's convenience, and no guarantee of long-term accuracy or water resistance is given. --- International Shipping & Customs --- The watch is dispatched from Japan with full tracking, carefully packed for international transit.
