Delivery & Returns
Q: Is this Longines La Grande Classique a quartz or automatic watch? A: This watch is a quartz model, so it is battery-powered rather than self-winding. That makes it a practical everyday choice for buyers who prefer easy, low-maintenance timekeeping.
Q: What size is this watch, and how does it wear on the wrist? A: The case measures 24 mm, giving it a refined, petite look typical of the La Grande Classique line. It is best suited to those who prefer a smaller, elegant watch profile rather than an oversized style.
Q: Will this watch fit my wrist? A: According to the product information, the bracelet fits a wrist of 17.5 cm or smaller. If your wrist is larger than that, you may need extra links added by a professional, subject to availability.
Q: Is this watch water-resistant? A: Yes, this model is rated to 3 bar water resistance. In practical terms, that means it is suitable for light splashes and everyday caution, but it should not be used for swimming, showering, or submerging in water.
Q: What materials and features does this watch have? A: This reference features a stainless steel case and bracelet, a white dial, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and a folding clasp with push-button opening. These details are part of the model’s clean, classic and slim Longines design language.
Q: What year is this particular watch from? A: This specific watch is dated to 2003. For many buyers, that makes it an appealing early-2000s example of the La Grande Classique collection while still offering timeless styling that wears beautifully today.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: This piece comes as a full set with box, as stated in the product information. If you would like confirmation of exactly what is present in the set, we recommend checking the product information carefully before purchase.
Q: What is the condition of this watch? A: The overall condition is listed as very good. Externally, it shows light traces of use; internally, it is noted as very good; and the hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. This is consistent with a well-kept pre-owned watch from 2003.
Q: Is the battery easy to replace? A: As with most quartz luxury watches, the battery can be replaced, but it is best handled by an authorised or experienced watch professional. This helps protect the case, bracelet, seals and water resistance during servicing.
Q: How should I care for a pre-owned Longines watch like this? A: To keep it in the best possible condition, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after wear, avoid perfumes or chemicals on the bracelet, keep it away from prolonged moisture, and store it safely when not in use. Periodic professional servicing is also recommended for long-term performance.
