⌚ LONGINES RECORD AUTOMATIC – VINTAGE SWISS – CAL. 1955-2 – 17 JEWELS Men’s Watch (Used)

Pre-owned Price 3200 AED

✨ CLASSIC 1970s SWISS DESIGN • LONGINES & RECORD WATCHMAKING HERITAGE

A distinctive vintage Longines Record Automatic, featuring the bold cushion-shaped case design that defined Swiss watches of the late 1960s–1970s era.

The watch features an attractive grey/silver sunburst dial with applied baton hour markers, central seconds and a framed date window at 3 o’clock. The dial is signed LONGINES, with the historic winged-hourglass emblem, together with RECORD AUTOMATIC and T SWISS MADE T.

Most importantly, the movement photograph confirms the Record automatic movement, Calibre 1955-2, 17 Jewels, with Swiss movement markings clearly visible. This calibre family was used in vintage Record watches before and around the period of Record’s integration with Longines. Comparable documented examples identify the Record 1955-2 as a 17-jewel automatic movement.

🏆 COLLECTOR’S NOTE

The Longines Record name represents an interesting chapter of Swiss watchmaking history. This example is especially attractive for collectors because it combines the prestigious Longines name and winged-hourglass emblem with Record Automatic branding and a genuine Record 1955-2 mechanical movement.

Its sunburst dial, cushion-style case, date display and unmistakable late-1960s/1970s aesthetic make it a characterful vintage Swiss watch rather than an ordinary modern dress piece.
