The Unique Texture: Longines Quartz "Linen Dial" (1980s)
This vintage Longines, produced in the 1980s, stands out with a finish of great rarity. While its "TV Shape" case (square with softened corners) immediately anchors the watch in its era, it is the dial that captures all the attention.
It features a magnificent "Linen Dial" finish. This finely cross-brushed texture mimics fabric weaving, creating changing and silky reflections that give incredible depth to the watch. This golden dial is punctuated with ultra-thin black hands and indexes for optimal readability.
Another detail of refinement that does not deceive: its crown is adorned with a blue cabochon (sapphire style), an elegant jewelry touch reminiscent of the great creations of the Cartier house of the same era. With its 34mm diameter, it's a perfect unisex piece, offering a warm and sophisticated presence on the wrist.
Powered by a Swiss quartz movement, it combines the charm of a textured design with the reliability of hassle-free technology. A choice piece for lovers of subtle details.
Why did we select it?
- Its "Linen Dial", a rare textured finish offering a unique and luxurious visual rendering.
- The detail of the blue cabochon on the crown, an additional touch of elegance.
- Its "TV Shape" format typical of the 80s, both retro and very comfortable.
