The Golden Balance of the Longines Quartz "TV Shape" (1980s)
This vintage Longines, produced in the 1980s, captures the essence of the era's "Neo-Classical" design. It stands out with its "TV Shape" case (a square with softened corners), a geometry highly appreciated by collectors for its retro yet timeless allure, which differs from traditional round watches.
Its gold-plated case of 34mm offers a warm and sophisticated presence. It is the quintessential "Dress Watch" format: large enough to be readable, yet compact enough to slip under a shirt cuff. An ideal unisex piece, it will appeal as much as a classic men's watch as a modern women's watch.
The highlight of this piece is its satin-finished gold dial (vertically brushed). This textured finish subtly and elegantly catches the light, adding depth to the watch's face. The black and gold baton indexes, along with the date window at 3 o'clock, ensure perfect legibility.
Powered by a Swiss quartz movement from Longines, it offers precision and reliability without the maintenance constraints of a mechanical watch. An elegant and faithful companion for daily wear, signed by one of the greatest Swiss houses.
Why did we select it?
- Its "TV Shape" case (rounded square), a signature shape of the 70s/80s, very trendy.
- Its textured gold dial (vertical satin finish), which offers magnificent reflections and a true "Luxury" touch.
- The reliability of its quartz movement coupled with the practicality of the date.
