Description from the seller

LONGINES AUTOMATIC – Vintage Swiss Made – Calibre L990.1 – 25 Jewels – Stainless Steel – 70s

Elegant Swiss Longines Automatic watch, made approximately between the late 1970s and the early 1980s, an attractive piece that embodies the tradition, precision, and refinement of one of the most prestigious Swiss watch manufacturers.

This specimen stands out for its precious satin-finished silver dial, with a minimalist design and extraordinary elegance. It features applied baton-style hour markers in a silver tone, slender central hands, and a practical date window at 3 o’clock, equipped with a built-in magnifying lens on the crystal that facilitates reading.

Its round stainless steel case, with a polished bezel, straight lugs, and classic proportions, offers a sober and timeless aesthetic. The set is completed with an attractive domed crystal that enhances the watch’s vintage character.

Movement Longines L990.1

One of the great attractions of this watch is its extraordinary mechanical automatic movement Longines caliber L990.1, with 25 jewels.

This caliber belongs to the well-known Longines 990 family, developed in the late 70s and especially valued for its flat-architecture construction and sophisticated mechanical design.

Its automatic winding system via a central rotor keeps the watch running thanks to the natural motion of the wrist.

The mechanism bears the signature LONGINES SWISS – L990.1 – TWENTY-FIVE 25 JEWELS, as seen in the photographs.

A particularly interesting feature for collectors and enthusiasts of Swiss mechanical watchmaking.
