Faceted Longines Design of the Early 1980s
Vintage 1970s Longines Automatic Ref. 3042 Tungsten Carbide Cushion CaseIts cushion-shaped case is defined by crisp, light-catching facets, giving the watch a poised balance between seventies geometry and the cleaner direction of the new decade. Within, the 25-jewel L633.1 automatic movement brings central seconds and a date display, while belonging to Longines’ ETA 2824-based calibre family. At 34 mm, this is a thoughtful choice for collectors drawn to restrained proportions, purposeful mechanics, and a particularly expressive case profile.
