As a celebrated Swiss watchmaker with a legacy dating back to 1832, Longines has long been synonymous with precision, elegance, and timeless design, and this particular model stands out as a coveted gem among vintage watch collectors worldwide, thanks to its scarcity and remarkable 30CH movement.
At the heart of this timepiece beats the legendary Longines 30CH manual winding movement, a masterpiece of mid-20th-century Swiss watchmaking. Renowned for its reliability and precision, the 30CH movement is a classic calibre that reflects the brand’s commitment to technical excellence. Each winding and time-setting operation maintains the smooth, tactile feedback that vintage watch enthusiasts cherish, and the movement has been carefully inspected to ensure it operates as intended, preserving the authentic horological experience of the 1960s.

The watch features a 38mm case, a size that was considered a sophisticated and masculine dimension for men’s wristwatches in the 1960s, offering a perfect balance between presence and wearability. Designed in the iconic mid-century aesthetic, the case exudes understated elegance with clean lines and a refined profile, characteristic of Longines’ design philosophy during this era. Please note that this model is non-waterproof, which is consistent with the manufacturing standards and technical specifications of vintage timepieces from the 1960s, adding to its authentic historical character.

The dial of this Longines 7413-6 retains its original vintage charm, with clear, legible hour markers and hands that have aged gracefully over the decades. The subtle patina that has developed on the dial and hands is a natural result of time, enhancing its vintage allure and telling the story of its journey through the years. Every detail, from the crisp Longines logo at the dial center to the precise printing of the hour indices, speaks to the brand’s meticulous craftsmanship.
