Brand: Longines
Model: Flagship
Serial Number: 25487978
Movement: Quartz Caliber L160.2
Dial: Champagne
Case Size: 26 mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless Steel and Gold Tone
Production Year: 1991
Condition: Good vintage condition
Dial and Hands
The watch features a refined champagne dial that remains in excellent condition. It is adorned with applied gold-tone baton hour markers and a classic Roman numeral at the 12 o'clock position. A discreet date window is positioned at 3 o'clock. The slender gold-tone hands are free of corrosion and provide excellent legibility against the gold background. The text remains crisp and the overall presentation of the dial is clean and preserved.
Case and Crystal
The stainless steel case features an octagonal shape with a stepped bezel design highlighted by gold-tone accents. The case shows honest signs of vintage wear, including surface scratches and handling marks consistent with regular use and age, particularly visible on the polished caseback which features the signature "Flagship" script engraving. The crystal is clear and presents well, offering an unobstructed view of the dial.
Movement
Powering this timepiece is the Longines Caliber L160.2, a high-quality Swiss quartz movement featuring 5 jewels. The movement compartment is clean and free of battery corrosion. It is currently running and functioning within vintage tolerances, offering reliable vintage performance.
Strap
The watch is fitted with its original integrated stainless steel bracelet featuring gold-tone accents running through the center links. The bracelet exhibits normal surface wear and scuffing consistent with the case condition. It secures with a folding clasp signed with the Longines logo and will accommodate a wrist circumference of approximately 18.5cm.
Condition
This timepiece is in good vintage condition. While there are visible surface scratches and swirls throughout the case and bracelet typical of a watch from this era, the structural integrity remains excellent. The gold-tone plating shows some general aging but retains its distinct character. The dial is the highlight, remaining very well preserved relative to the external wear.
Dimensions
The case measures 26 mm in width excluding the crown, offering a classic rectangular dress watch profile that relies on its integrated bracelet design to provide substantial presence on the wrist.
Remarks
This Longines Flagship is a testament to the brand's ability to create dress watches that are both understated and luxurious. The dual-tone finish makes it a versatile accessory suitable for formal occasions or daily wear. Its quartz convenience combined with the historic Flagship lineage makes it an attractive entry into Swiss collecting.
History
The Flagship line was introduced by Longines in 1957 and has long been one of the brand's most enduring collections, symbolizing the pinnacle of their elegant dress watch catalog. By the 1990s, the collection had evolved to incorporate quartz technology while maintaining the slim profiles and distinctive case shapes that defined the era's luxury aesthetic. This specific example, dating to approximately 1991 based on its serial number, captures the transition of the Swiss industry into modern luxury quartz production.
