Title
Longines Hand-Wound Dress Watch with White Roman Numeral Dial

Introduction
This Longines timepiece presents a classic round case with a gold-tone finish, paired with a clean white dial featuring bold black Roman numerals. The dial carries the Longines signature along with "SWISS MADE" at the lower edge, reflecting a traditional dress watch layout. The case is fitted with a newly replaced navy blue leather strap, which is not an original Longines part. The overall design reflects a restrained, formal aesthetic typical of mid-century dress watches, with slim hands and a balanced dial layout contributing to a refined vintage appearance.

Historical & Collector Value
Longines is one of the longest-established Swiss watchmaking houses, with a history extending back to the nineteenth century and a long-standing reputation for precision timekeeping. Dress watches of this type, featuring simple Roman numeral dials and hand-wound movements, were characteristic of the brand's output during much of the twentieth century. Such pieces illustrate the design conventions of their period, emphasizing legibility and understated styling over complications, and represent a segment of Longines production aimed at everyday formal wear rather than sport or technical timekeeping.

Condition
The watch is rated "Good" by the seller, reflecting typical wear consistent with its age. The case shows a gold-tone finish with some surface wear visible along the edges, and the dial remains legible with a clean appearance for a vintage piece of this age. As a pre-owned vintage watch, it shows signs of age and use consistent with its era, and some light wear and small marks should be expected. The leather strap has been newly replaced, though it is not an original Longines part. The watch has been tested and is in working condition.
