Longines Vintage Watch Disco (1970s)
This vintage Longines watch from the 1970s is a remarkable representation of the uninhibited design of that decade. It immediately stands out with its atypical case shape tonneau flared, often nicknamed "Disco" or "UFO" by collectors, offering a strong wrist presence enhanced by its gold-plated finish.
The sunburst finish silver dial beautifully captures the light and makes the applied gold indices stand out. The eye is naturally drawn to its superb "dauphine" shaped hands, which add a touch of classicism and elegance to this resolutely seventies silhouette. Devoid of a second hand and date window, this pre-owned luxury watch relies on soothing minimalism and perfect readability.
Powered by a manual winding movement, this piece features generous dimensions for the time (35mm) while maintaining a beautiful thinness of 9.7mm. It stands out as a superb men's watch with an assumed retro style and can also be ideally worn as an "oversized" and chic women's watch. Paired with its textured black crocodile-style leather strap, it's a collectible piece full of character.
Why did we select this piece?
- For its "Disco" shape: A case with very marked curves typical of the 70s, which stands out from traditional production.
- For its dauphine hands: A touch of timeless elegance that contrasts beautifully with the boldness of the case.
- For its clean dial: The sunburst finish and lack of complications allow for full appreciation of the design's harmony.
