A refined Longines Classic in the Calatrava tradition from 1956, this watch exemplifies mid‑century restraint and balanced proportions. The case and dial are conceived in a clean, timeless language that complements formal and everyday wear alike. Powering the piece is the Cal. 12.68 Z, a movement associated with Longines’ fine watchmaking of the era, known for dependable manual‑wind performance. For a contemporary collector, the watch offers a direct connection to 1950s horological design and workmanship, serving as a quietly elegant example of period Longines production.
