Delivery & Returns
Q: Is this Longines DolceVita battery-powered or automatic? A: This 2010 DolceVita reference is a quartz watch, so it is battery-powered rather than automatic. Quartz Longines models are popular for easy wear, dependable accuracy, and low day-to-day maintenance.
Q: How does the 25mm size wear on the wrist? A: The DolceVita is a slim rectangular dress watch, so it wears elegant and compact rather than oversized. This particular piece is listed as fitting a 16 cm wrist or smaller, which makes it especially well suited to smaller wrists or anyone who prefers a refined, understated look.
Q: Is the DolceVita mainly a dress watch or can it be worn every day? A: It is best known as a dress watch thanks to its rectangular, Art Deco-inspired design, but many people also wear it daily for a polished and versatile look. The stainless steel case and bracelet make it practical for regular use while keeping a classic feel.
Q: Is it water-resistant? A: DolceVita quartz models in this size family are typically rated to 3 bar water resistance, which is suitable for everyday splashes such as hand washing or light rain. It is not a swimming or showering watch, especially as a pre-owned piece where seals may have aged over time.
Q: Does it have a sapphire crystal? A: Longines DolceVita references in this size range are commonly fitted with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which is a useful feature for daily wear. As with any pre-owned watch, it is still best to avoid knocks and abrasive surfaces.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted? A: Yes, stainless steel watch bracelets can usually be resized by adding or removing links. This watch currently fits a 16 cm wrist or smaller, so if you need a larger fit, please check with us before purchase as extra links are not listed in the product information.
Q: What product information is included with this watch? A: This watch comes with the warranty card. If an item is not listed in the product information section, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Is the warranty card still useful on a 2010 watch? A: Yes, the warranty card is still helpful for reference and provenance, even though the original factory warranty period would normally have expired long ago. Longines states that warranty coverage depends on a correctly completed warranty certificate and applies from the original purchase date.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: It is listed in good condition, with light scratches on the case and bracelet and good internal condition. In practical terms, that means it presents well overall, with gentle signs of wear that are normal for a pre-owned watch from 2010.
Q: How should a pre-owned quartz Longines be serviced? A: A quartz DolceVita should be checked when the battery needs replacing and serviced if timekeeping, water resistance, or general performance is off. Longines recommends using an authorised service centre for battery changes and servicing, particularly to help maintain seals and overall performance.
