Our Take
Since 1832, Longines embraces the elegance and reliability of pure Swiss watchmaking tradition. This early 80s piece has been crafted in a smooth polished stainless steel square case and gold bezel with a stainless steel case back, the case measures 30mm in diameter and 35mm from lug to lug, originally a men’s watch but with today’s large sizing, it could be suited to a lady too. The back case has serial number #20703627. The gold dial is immaculate, it has stick markers, sword-shaped hands and a date aperture at 3 o’clock. The gold crown is unsigned and may have been replaced. The L.970.2 Longines quartz movement with 7 Jewels works as it should and keeps perfect time. The crystal is mineral and in excellent condition. The original Bi-metal steel strap with folder over clasp measures around 7.3” or 19cm approximately and has some wear. The watch comes without the original box or papers, but a gift box will accompany it. It has not been pressure sealed, so water resistance cannot be guaranteed.
