The serial number on this Longines dates it to 1960. With a style that is surprisingly contemporary, the one-piece stainless steel case is in very good condition; it is clean, lightly polished, and has light age wear. The silver sunrburst dial is in excellent condition, with faint age wear. The applied faceted indexes, winged hourglass logo, LONGINES signature and "Automatic" designation are perfectly rendered in black. Slender leaf-style hands match the bold indices, all placed on full display beneath the newly installed crystal. The crown has plenty of grip, and it winds and sets effortlessly. The caseback is in good condition, with very light age wear.
The 17 jewel 19ASs movement is clean and has clearly been well cared for over the decades. The automatic assembly features an oscillating weight with a heart-shaped cam, giving it a seriously satisfying wrist presence. The watch has been serviced and timegrapher regulated in positions; with a high amplitude, it keeps impeccable time. The watch comes on new white stitched, black leather bands that accent the case nicely and are comfortable on the wrist.
Overall, this is a very nicely preserved example of early-Sixties style from a company that needs no introduction.
