A Very Unique Longines Ultronic Calendar with UFO-like Case Dating to 1974

Longines is a renowned Swiss luxury watchmaker known for its elegant and classic timepieces. Established in 1832 by Auguste Agassiz, Longines has a rich heritage of watchmaking expertise and a strong reputation for producing high-quality watches.

What's on Offer

Look at that design! This Longines is an excellent nod back to the mid-century modern design era of the 1970s. Utilising an electronic tuning fork movement, this watch was way ahead of its time in terms of reliability while also being a product of Swiss craftsmanship. 

The case is the main statement, plated in complete gold this watch offers a nice shine to the wrist without being too blingy and stands out with its unique shape. It also has a beautiful brushed finish. Paired seamlessly with a Longines-branded Champion bracelet which is also gold-plated it allows total comfortability when wearing. The case back is stainless steel and easily removable as it has a screw-down mechanism. The champagne dial goes excellently against the gold and shines with movement.

In terms of the condition of this watch, it boasts minor signs of wear to the case and back which are only light scratches and blemishes. It also has some visible scratching on the plexiglass face which is very minor and just needs some polishing other than that this watch is running excellently and is fully functional.

An overall exceptional vintage timepiece which has only gotten better with age.
