Longines Calatrava — 1957 steel dress watch
A 1957 Longines dress watch rendered in a clean stainless-steel Calatrava case, this example shows an original silver dial with applied 12‑3‑6‑9 numerals and a small seconds register. The period‑correct acrylic crystal and signed crown complete the restrained, mid‑century aesthetic. Inside beats the hand‑wound Cal. 12.68Z, a 17‑jewel Longines calibre known for dependable service and traditional construction; the movement was freshly serviced in 09/2025. For a collector looking for a wearable vintage dress watch, this Longines offers classic design and a well‑documented, recently maintained movement.
