Description from the seller
Longines – Automatic Date – Blue Dial – Ref. 1626 / Cal. 990 – Swiss Made – 1970s
A very elegant vintage Longines automatic wristwatch from the 1970s, featuring a beautifully revised deep blue dial, original Swiss automatic movement, and a sharp stainless steel case with excellent proportions. The watch presents exceptionally well for its age and offers a refined yet sporty vintage character typical of Longines production of this era.
The sunburst blue dial, minimalist baton indices, and framed date window at 3 o’clock create a timeless and balanced design. Combined with its solid steel bracelet and clean case lines, this watch is both eye-catching and highly wearable.
