Longines, a Swiss watch brand established in 1832 by Auguste Agassiz in Saint-Imier, has carved an indelible mark on the timekeeping industry. Its journey began as a small assembly workshop that evolved into one of the world's most prestigious watch manufacturers. Longines is renowned for its elegance, tradition, and performance, embodying Swiss craftsmanship at its finest. The introduction of the winged hourglass logo in 1867 not only symbolized Longines' commitment to excellence but also became the oldest registered trademark for a watchmaker.

What's on Offer

For those who appreciate the natural marvel that is the tropicalisation of watch dials - this is a true gem! The dial is a beautiful deep sepia colour and boasts alternate Arabic numerals and a recessed sub-seconds dial at 6 o'clock. Central super slim leaf hands in blued steel complete the dial which is encapsulated underneath shatterproof acrylic crystal and encased in stainless steel. The watch is 35mm which is mid-size but it wears much larger on the wrist due to its ultra-slim bezel. It is powered by the Longines 12.68z, a manual movement with 17 jewels. This is a great piece, in fantastic vintage condition with bags of character, it wears beautifully on the wrist as illustrated in the photographs. Running well and keeping good time, this watch will bring the wearer many years of happy time-keeping.
