Vintage Longines Swiss Watch, Gold-plated "TV" Case, Quartz Cal. L977.2 from 1970's
This vintage Longines Quartz offers understated elegance with a slim profile and a striking dial that catches the light beautifully. Powered by the Longines Caliber L977.2, it delivers reliable quartz precision wrapped in a timeless, minimal design.
The standout feature here is undoubtedly the gold-toned brushed dial. It plays beautifully with light, offering a subtle radial texture that gives the watch a refined, almost jewelry-like character. Paired with thin baton hour markers and slim black hands, the look is clean, modernist, and effortlessly versatile.
The 31 x 31 mm gold-plated case has a soft cushion shape, giving it a dressy presence without being flashy. At only 6 mm thick, it slides easily under a cuff and wears comfortably on a variety of wrist sizes. The 36.3 mm lug-to-lug length keeps the profile balanced and refined.

About Brand
Is Longines a popular vintage watch brand?
Yes, Longines is one of the oldest Swiss watch manufacturers still operating under its original name, founded in 1832.

Vintage Longines watches are known for their balance between elegance and technical precision, making them highly desirable among collectors of classic Swiss watches.
Why is Longines important in vintage watch history?
Longines played a crucial role in aviation, navigation, and sports timing throughout the 20th century. The brand supplied chronographs and navigation watches to pilots and military forces, including well-known pilot watches from the 1930s and 1940s. Models powered by legendary movements such as the Longines 13ZN and 30CH chronograph calibers are considered milestones in vintage watchmaking and remain highly collectible today.
Are vintage Longines watches good for everyday wear?
Yes. Many vintage Longines watches were designed as reliable tool or dress watches intended for daily use. Time-only models powered by movements like the Longines caliber 12.68Z, 23Z, or 30L are especially well regarded for their durability and smooth operation. When properly serviced, a vintage Longines watch can be worn regularly while retaining its value as a collectible vintage watch.

When purchasing a vintage watch from Longines, collectors should prioritize originality and correct configuration. Important details include:

Longines movements are particularly valued for their high-quality finishing and technical sophistication, even in non-chronograph models.
