Longines - No reserve price - Men - 1960-1969

Introduction

This is a vintage Longines Automatic wristwatch featuring an elegant cushion-shaped stainless steel case and a beautifully aged silver sunburst dial. Longines, founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, is one of the oldest continuously operating watch brands in the world and has long been celebrated for its refined dress watches and precision movements. This particular piece captures the timeless design language of late 1960s to early 1970s Swiss watchmaking.

Historical & Collector Value

Cushion-cased Longines automatics from this era are increasingly appreciated by collectors for their distinctive geometry, which bridges the classic round dress watch and the bolder shaped cases that defined the 1970s. The winged hourglass logo, applied indices, and framed date aperture at 3 o'clock reflect Longines' commitment to understated elegance. Original examples with unrestored dials, such as this one, are becoming harder to find on the vintage market, making it a compelling addition for enthusiasts of mid-century Swiss horology.
