Vintage Longines Automatic 4818 Cal L633.1 Silver Linen Dial Date 33mm Watch Box

About this watch

A 1970s Longines Automatic with a distinctive design: a round, stepped polished bezel set into a brushed stainless steel case with wide integrated shoulders that flow into the strap. The silver dial has a fine linen texture with thin black-lined baton markers, black baton hands, a central seconds hand and a framed date window at 6 o'clock. It is signed with the Longines winged hourglass logo under 12, "Automatic" above the date and "T Swiss Made T" at the bottom edge. Inside is the Longines automatic calibre L633.1 with 25 jewels and a signed Longines rotor. The inside of the caseback is stamped "Longines Swiss Made 4818" together with "633", matching the calibre. It comes on a black croc-grain leather strap and with a Longines box.

Brand heritage
