Description from the seller
LONGINES VINTAGE QUARTZ – GOLDEN CUSHION CASE – CHAMPAGNE DIAL – 70s/80s
Elegant vintage Longines quartz watch, presumably dating from the 1970s/1980s, featuring a refined cushion-shaped case with a golden finish and a satin champagne dial with black indices.
A timepiece that testifies to the stylistic evolution of Swiss watchmaking during the period of quartz electronic movement diffusion.
STORY AND WATCHMAKING TRADITION
Founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Longines represents one of the historical names in Swiss watchmaking. The label has stood out for the quality of its creations, the elegance of its timepieces, and the characteristic winged hourglass symbol.
During the 1970s and 1980s, Longines complemented its traditional mechanical production with numerous quartz models, addressing new needs for precision and practicality.
The proposed specimen fully expresses the aesthetic language of the period, through soft geometric lines, golden finishes, and a dial with a simple, essential design.
QUARTZ MOVEMENT
The watch is equipped with a Swiss electronic quartz movement, battery-powered.
The introduction of this technology represented one of the most important transformations in 20th-century watchmaking, enabling high levels of precision and particularly practical everyday use.
The movement drives the central hour, minute, and second hands. The specific caliber has not been identified and requires internal verification.
CASE AND DIAL
The case measures 31.5 × 37 mm and features an elegant cushion shape, characterized by a square profile with rounded corners and integrated lugs.
The golden finish pairs with the champagne dial, adorned with a satin finish featuring a geometric pattern.
Applied black baton indices and slender hands create a refined contrast, ensuring a clear reading of the indications.
The dial bears the Longines logo and the distinctive winged hourglass.
The stainless steel case back bears the identifying number 21854540.
CONDITION
The watch shows vintage conditions consistent with its period of production.
The dial retains a marked patina of the times, with color alterations, speckling, and oxidation traces, especially around the periphery.
The case shows signs of use and localized wear of the golden finish. The black strap with reptile-texture finish completes the ensemble.
Documentation relating to a recent overhaul is not available. Functioning, accuracy, and water resistance are not certified in the absence of specific technical checks.
The photographs are an integral part of the description and document the actual conditions of the specimen.
COLLECTOR INTEREST
An interesting vintage Longines that combines the maison’s classic aesthetics with the technological innovations of quartz watchmaking.
The particular cushion shape, the champagne dial, and the typical 1970s/1980s design make this specimen an appealing option for enthusiasts of Swiss vintage watchmaking.
