Introduction This is a classic Longines dress watch, presenting the refined and timeless elegance that has made the brand a favourite among collectors of vintage Swiss timepieces. Founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, Longines has long been recognised for its winged hourglass logo, which is one of the oldest registered trademarks still in continuous use. This particular reference showcases the understated sophistication that Longines mastered during the mid-to-late 20th century, with a slim gold-plated case, a warm champagne dial, and bold Roman numerals rendered in black. Historical & Collector Value During the 1970s, Longines produced a series of ultra-thin dress watches designed for the discerning gentleman. These models remain highly regarded for their balanced proportions, refined finishing, and reliable manual-winding calibres. The champagne dial with vertical brushed finish is particularly desirable, offering a rich visual texture that changes subtly with the light. As an authentic piece from Longines' golden era of dress watchmaking, this timepiece holds strong appeal for collectors who value heritage, craftsmanship, and understated luxury.
