Longines is known for creating some of the most technically innovative and attractive timepieces in the world. Once worn by Humphrey Bogart, Richard Byrd, and Charles Lindbergh, these pieces are sought after by collectors, celebrities, and anyone desiring to wear a very fine wristwatch.

Today's offering showcases an elegant Longines mens dress watch. It features a perfect original champagne dial, 18K gold plated & stainless steel case, very fine and thin Longines handwound movement, and sapphire crystal.

Despite cost-cutting measures that have brought about the widespread use of cheaper quartz movements for many wristwatches, Longines equipped this watch with one of their mechanical movements designed to last a lifetime. Using traditional watchmaking practices, gifted craftsmen poured individual attention into each wristwatch. As a result, mens Longines wristwatches with mechanical movements are often more sought after by collectors than their quartz counterparts.

The 18K gold-plated and stainless steel case is a nice option for those who live in a more tropical climate or who are sensitive to precious metal.

The watch is fully Longines and in pleasing condition. The only wear is one small blemish on the back and wear to the surface of the original signed Longines crown.

The movement has been freshly full serviced.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
