Without a seconds hand or date, the dial remains calm and the watch gains finesse — a design choice that Longines reserved for its most formal models. The movement works exactly like a three-hand quartz, with a battery to be changed every two to three years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a brushed dial?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a dial whose surface is worked with very fine vertical lines, regular like the stripes of a fabric. Straight on, it appears plain; in raking light, the pattern emerges and gives the white a depth that a smooth dial does not have. On this watch, the texture is intact and plays with the applied gold hour markers that run through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the winged hourglass logo represent?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt is the emblem of Longines, registered in 1889 and regarded as the oldest watchmaking logo still in use without substantial modification. The house was founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, in the Swiss Jura, and first became known for its sports timing instruments before developing a dressier catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should a gold-plated case be cared for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlating is a layer of gold applied over a base metal, which becomes thinner over time in the areas most exposed to friction. A soft, dry cloth is sufficient for routine care; avoid abrasive products, perfumes, and household cleaners, which accelerate wear. On this watch, the plating is even, with fine signs of use on the bezel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this piece suitable for a slender or larger wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 31mm wide, 36mm Lug-to-lug and 5.35mm thick, it suits wrists of approximately 15 to 18cm — a guideline, never a rule: everyone wears what they like. Its cushion case with softened corners follows the wrist, and its slimness lets it slip under a cuff. The Lug width measures 17mm, making it easy to change the strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Longines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54727904821585,"sku":"25984351","price":472.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/VD_06882.jpg?v=1788280371","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/longines-quartz-watch-gold-plated-cushion-striped-dial-two-hands-1980s","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
