LONGINES Small Seconds two-tone dial Ref.1048, 1950s

— 1959, in gold —

A handsome vintage dress watch made around 1959. Gold spreads gracefully across the whole dial, and the fine patina that only long years can draw gives it a vintage dignity no contemporary watch can imitate.

Sharp wedge markers and a small seconds ticking quietly at six bring the refinement and intelligence of the 1950s to the wrist.

— A North American pedigree —

"LONGINES-WITTNAUER" is stamped inside the case back: the mark of a piece selected and produced for the American market by Wittnauer, Longines' distributor in North America at the time.

The 10K gold-filled case is slim but far from insubstantial, and brings a grown-up quality to formal or casual dress.

— A famous calibre —

Calibre 27M, one of the hand-wound movements that carried Longines through its finest period. The precision of its construction still carries the breath of the watchmakers who built it.
