This vintage Longines Grand Prize Automatic is a textbook example of mid-century Swiss dress watch design—restrained, elegant, and beautifully proportioned. Housed in a polished stainless steel case, the watch features a silver sunburst dial signed Longines Grand Prize Automatic, with crisp applied hour markers, faceted dauphine hands, a smooth sweep seconds hand, and a neatly framed date window at 3 o’clock. The dial has excellent depth and symmetry, catching the light subtly without ever feeling flashy. Paired here with a high-quality black buffalo leather strap that suits the watch perfectly, this is an understated vintage Longines that wears easily and looks right in almost any setting.
