Description
A timeless example of Swiss watchmaking, this vintage Longines Flagship combines understated elegance with the classic proportions of a traditional dress watch.
Dating to 1975, this refined piece features a silver vertically brushed sunburst dial, complemented by applied faceted baton hour markers, gold-tone hands and the iconic Longines winged hourglass emblem. Its slim profile and warm gold-plated case make it an elegant choice for both formal occasions and everyday wear.
Inside is the Longines calibre 847.3 manual-wind movement, which has been serviced, cleaned, lubricated and regulated, a slim Swiss manual-winding movement that combines traditional mechanical craftsmanship with an elegant, low-profile design befitting a classic vintage dress watch.

Condition
This Longines Flagship presents beautifully for its age, retaining the timeless elegance and character expected of a vintage Swiss dress watch from the mid-1970s.
The gold-plated case displays signs of age and previous wear, including areas of plating loss consistent with a watch of this period.

As with any vintage watch, there are signs of age and use. Please refer to the photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.
Furthermore, vintage mechanical watches require delicate care and handling when winding the movement, setting the time and operating the crown. The crown and stem can be particularly delicate and should never be forced.

What's Included
Original box and papers are NOT included. As with many vintage timepieces, these original accessories have often been lost over the decades. If a watch is supplied with its original box, papers, or additional accessories, this will be clearly stated in the listing.
Care
As a vintage mechanical timepiece, this watch should be handled with care and kept away from water, steam and moisture. Avoid exposure to shocks, strong magnetic fields and extreme temperatures, and never force the crown or controls. When not being worn, store it in a clean, dry environment. Due to the age and delicate nature of vintage mechanical movements, regular professional servicing is recommended to maintain reliable performance and longevity. This timepiece has been carefully preserved for over 5 decades. Vintage mechanical watches require delicate care and handling when winding the movement, setting the time and operating the crown. The crown and stem can be particularly delicate and should never be forced. Although some vintage models were originally rated for water resistance, no vintage watch sold by The Vault & Time Collective should be considered water resistant. We recommend treating all vintage timepieces as non-water-resistant unless otherwise explicitly stated.
