Longines Sport Chief – Vintage Men's Watch (c. 1960)

The Longines Sport Chief is one of Longines' most renowned dress models from the late 1950s and early 1960s. The model combines classic Swiss watchmaking with a clean and timeless design.

This example features a silver-coloured dial with silver-coloured index markers and the original Longines logo. The case is made of steel and has the characteristic Sport Chief case back marked “Waterproof, Antimagnetic, Shockresistant, Swiss Made”. The movement is a manual mechanical Longines calibre, known for its precision and longevity.

The watch has been fitted with a new quality leather strap and runs as it should. As a genuine vintage piece, it shows normal patina and minor signs of age, which underline its authenticity.

The Sport Chief model is highly sought after among Longines collectors and offers an elegant, historical and mechanical experience not found in modern watches.
