A beautifully proportioned vintage Longines featuring a warm silver dial, applied gilt Arabic numerals and a classic small seconds display.
Measuring 35mm, this is the sort of vintage dress watch that remains effortlessly wearable today while retaining all the charm of the era in which it was made.
Powering the watch is a hand-wound Longines movement from the highly respected 12.68 family, showcasing the quality and craftsmanship for which Longines became renowned during the mid-century period.
This example is housed in an English-made Baume case, a fascinating detail from a time when Longines movements were imported into the UK and cased locally.
The dial displays honest age-related character, complementing the warm gilt numerals and hands beautifully. Paired with a rich brown leather strap, it offers timeless elegance and exceptional vintage charm.
