Introduction This elegant Longines Quartz watch captures the refined simplicity of Swiss design from the 1980s. With its minimalist silver dial and slim case, it represents the timeless aesthetic for which Longines has been admired for nearly two centuries. Historical & Collector Value Longines, founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, is one of the oldest continuously operating watchmakers. The brand’s quartz models from the late 1970s and early 1980s mark an important transition period in Swiss horology, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern quartz precision. The engraved case back suggests this piece may have been a commemorative or award model, adding a layer of uniqueness and collector interest.
