Longines from the 1960s
Longines Ref. 8888 reflects the design language of 1960s, with proportions and details characteristic of its era. Its 35.0 mm proportions, steel case and original dial create a composed, wearable presence without obscuring the watch’s individual period character. Inside, the manual calibre 30L, 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.
