On the side, the crown features well-defined knurling and is proudly signed with the Longines name and winged hourglass logo. The flat crystal is clear, exhibiting no significant scratches, chips, or crazing.
Movement
Powering the watch is the Longines caliber L847.3, a clean 17-jewel manual wind movement. The plates show minor handling marks and light surface wear, with no severe corrosion or damage visible.

Remarks
This classic 1970s Longines dress watch offers a highly appealing combination of an exceptionally clean silver sunburst dial and a distinct square case profile. Driven by a capable in-house manual wind caliber and retaining its original signed crown, it represents a refined and highly wearable vintage timepiece.
History
During the 1970s, Longines produced a variety of elegant dress watches that emphasized clean lines and refined proportions. The reference 4142 exemplifies this design philosophy, featuring a compact cushion case measuring 30 by 28 mm with a 17 mm lug width. With a notably slim profile of just 6 mm, the model was designed to slip easily beneath a shirt cuff while offering an understated, sophisticated presence on the wrist. Powered by the reliable L847 series of manual wind calibers, these timepieces reflect the brand's enduring commitment to traditional mechanical watchmaking during a period of rapid industry change.
