A stunning vintage Longines Flagship manual two-hands from 1973, featuring a rare and beautiful gradient blue dial with a black dotted pattern. This is truly a beautiful piece that any watch collector can appreciate.

History

Originally launched in 1957 (along with the Conquest line), the Flagship ushered in a more modern approach to using model lines to market watches.

This particular Longines Flagship reference 4050 1 is a quintessential dress watch, with its dial and case featuring 1970s design language. It is powered by the reliable 17-jewel calibre 428 manual movement.

Despite its modern lineup within The Swatch Group, vintage Longines watches are on par with other brands like Omega and IWC, both in terms of craftsmanship and heritage.
