This is a remarkably preserved vintage Longines dress watch powered by the Longines Caliber 370, freshly serviced and regulated and running beautifully. The overall impression is “near mint” in the best way: crisp dial furniture, clean case lines, and a movement that looks almost showroom-fresh for its age. If you like your vintage pieces to feel original rather than over-restored, this one lands right in the sweet spot.
The silver dial is wonderfully clean and understated, with sharp applied markers that catch the light and give the watch a quietly upscale mid-century look. The warm gold hands and indices play perfectly against the cool dial tone, and the small seconds at 6 keeps the layout elegant and balanced. The 10K gold-filled monobloc case has excellent presence on the wrist, paired with a stainless steel back for practicality. Importantly, the watch retains its original crystal (polished, not replaced), which helps preserve the authentic profile and period feel.
Inside is Longines' Caliber 370, a well-regarded manual-wind movement from the brand's strong post-war era, known for its robust, serviceable construction and excellent timekeeping when properly maintained. This watch uses a front-opening monobloc architecture with a split stem / thru-crystal style case design—a very “Swiss” solution that is both clever and period-correct.

This watch has been fully serviced and regulated and is running well. Condition is outstanding inside and out, with a notably clean movement and a very strong original presentation. The crystal is original (polished), and the watch retains the kind of honest, high-grade originality that collectors chase.

So many vintage dress watches have either been polished into softness or pieced together over decades of repairs. This Longines is the opposite: sharp, original, and mechanically strong after service. It is the kind of super-clean survivor that makes you understand why Longines earned its reputation—quietly luxurious, beautifully made, and built to last.
