Longines Sport Chief, Vintage Men's Watch (circa 1960)

Longines Sport Chief, Vintage

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

This example has a silver-coloured dial with silver-coloured index markers and the original Longines logo. The case is made of stainless steel and features the characteristic Sport Chief case back, marked:

“Waterproof, Antimagnetic, Shockresistant, Swiss Made”

The watch is powered by a manual mechanical Longines movement, typically from the 280/284 series, known for being robust and reliable. The watch runs as it should and keeps accurate time.

It comes with a new quality leather strap, which is not original. The crystal is plexiglass.

As a genuine vintage watch, it shows normal patina and minor signs of wear consistent with age. This gives the watch an authentic character and is a natural part of its vintage charm.
