--- Introduction --- This Longines reference L7.984.2 is a refined expression of the Saint-Imier house's understated dress-watch tradition. A slim, gold-plated round case with elegantly curved lugs frames a warm champagne dial, where slender applied baton markers and fine blued hands deliver timeless legibility. A discreet date window at three o'clock adds everyday practicality without disturbing the clean, classical composition. Dating from the 1990s, it is an accessible and genuinely versatile piece of Longines heritage, equally at home with a suit or smart casual attire. --- Specifications --- Brand: Longines Series: Classic dress watch with date Reference: L7.984.2 Movement: Quartz Case Material: Gold-plated case with base-metal case back Crystal: Mineral glass (estimated) Dial: Champagne with applied gold-tone baton markers, blued hour and minute hands, gold-tone centre seconds hand, date window at 3 o'clock Case Back: Snap-on case back engraved with reference L7.984.2, serial number and "BASE METAL" Bracelet: Black leather strap with crocodile-pattern embossing and stainless steel pin buckle (aftermarket, not original Longines) Period: 1990s Country of Origin: Switzerland --- Condition Report --- Overall: A well-preserved example in good pre-owned condition, showing honest signs of use consistent with its age.
