Atelier Note
A Longines Présence from the 1980s, 33 mm round gold-plated case with a thickness of 5.5 mm, champagne dial with date window, on brown crocodile leather. Checked, delivered with its Atelier Victor invoice serving as a certificate.
A gold-plated Longines Présence, extra-thin, champagne dial with date
The 33 mm round case measures 5.5 mm thick. Its thin polished bezel descends seamlessly towards the case middle, extended by short lugs that follow the wrist. The gold plating retains its shine on the polished surfaces. The steel caseback bears the engravings of the piece.
The champagne dial features thin baton markers and a date window at 3 o'clock. The baton hands and slender centre seconds stand out clearly. Below 12 o'clock, the Longines signature and its winged hourglass sit above the Quartz mention; the name Présence is written in cursive above 6 o'clock.
The movement is a Longines-signed Swiss quartz, with three hands and date. The year is estimated to the 1980s.
The original gold-tone crown is set into the case middle at 3 o'clock. The watch is fitted on a brown crocodile leather strap with a gold-tone Buckle, both not original. With 37 mm Lug-to-lug, it can be worn on a man's wrist as well as on a woman's wrist.

02

03
