Longines
1960s Longines Sterling Silver Dress Watch (Ref. 5022/2) Cal. 5601
Whether it's a chronograph, diving watch, or a simple dress model, a Longines wristwatch never seems to disappoint. Longines' history is sprawling with an array of beautiful and functional watches, including military-issued timepieces, unique dress watches, and beautiful sports watches.
But even amidst a catalog as far-reaching and diverse as that of a brand like Longines, a piece like this ref. 5022/2 is still an incredibly unique find. Foregoing the common circular case shape for a less typical, squared "tank" case—and one made of sterling silver, no less—makes this piece both dressy and slightly whimsical at the same time, and a great addition to any collection.
