A 1979 Longines
Longines reflects the design language of 1979, with proportions and details characteristic of its era. Its 33.0 mm proportions, 9ct gold case and original dial create a composed, wearable presence without obscuring the watch’s individual period character. Inside, the manual calibre 428, fitted with 17 jewels provides the technical foundation and connects the watch with Longines’s watchmaking tradition. The calf leather strap completes a practical configuration suited to regular wear. For a contemporary collector, it offers a considered combination of period design, mechanical interest and everyday usability.
