Q: What details does the dial have? A: The watch features a white dial with silver-tone hour markers, an Arabic numeral 12, and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock. These are signature design elements often appreciated by buyers considering the Dolce Vita line.
Q: Is this a good everyday watch or more of a dress watch? A: The Longines Dolce Vita is best known as a dressy, elegant watch with a classic rectangular case. It can certainly be worn daily, but its styling is especially well suited to smart, office, and occasion wear.

Q: Can I wear this watch in water? A: As this is a vintage quartz dress watch from around 2005, we recommend treating it with care around water.
