History on the Wrist: Longines "Yasuhiro" Ultra-Thin (1981)
This vintage Longines watch, produced in 1981, has that extra soul that collectors seek: a story. On the back of its steel case, a commemorative engraving indicates that it was given to an employee for their "8 years of service" at Yasuhiro company. A "presentation" piece that reflects the Japanese corporate culture where loyalty is honored by time.
Its design is the very essence of early 80s minimalism. With its steel case of 32.9mm (classic size Unisex) and its ultra-thin profile of only 6.6mm, it slips under any shirt with absolute discretion. The silver dial, marked by baton indices and fine hands, offers a clean, no-frills reading.
Powered by a high-quality Longines quartz movement, it combines Swiss precision with everyday ease of use. Mounted on a vintage lizard leather strap, it exudes authentic retro charm.
An 1981 vintage watch ideal for celebrating a birth year or for enthusiasts of items with genuine provenance.
Why did we select it?
- For its engraved "Yasuhiro" back, which transforms a simple watch into an object witnessing a professional story.
- Its remarkable thinness (6.6mm thick), typical of "Dress Watch" elegance.
- It's a perfect "Birth Year Watch" for someone born in 1981.
