Delivery & Returns
Q: What model is this watch? A: This is the Longines Mini Dolce Vita 22mm watch, reference L5.200.4.75.2, dating to circa 2024. It features a rectangular stainless steel case, a white dial with Roman numeral indices and a sub-seconds dial, plus a black leather strap with a pin buckle.
Q: Is this a small watch on the wrist? A: Yes. The Mini Dolce Vita is designed as a refined, petite dress watch. Its compact rectangular case gives it an elegant, jewellery-like presence and makes it especially suitable if you prefer a smaller, classic watch profile.
Q: Is this watch quartz or automatic? A: This model is quartz. That means it is battery powered, low-maintenance in daily use, and very convenient if you want a watch you can simply pick up and wear without winding it.
Q: Is the watch water resistant? A: Yes, the Mini Dolce Vita line is rated to 3 bar water resistance. In practical terms, that means it is suitable for light splashes or brief contact with water, but it is not intended for swimming, bathing, or prolonged exposure to water.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: It is listed in very good condition, with light traces of use. The case and movement are noted as very good, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches consistent with careful wear.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: According to the product information, this watch includes its box. If any additional item is not listed in the product information, it should be assumed not to be included.
Q: Can the strap be changed? A: Yes. As this watch is fitted with a leather strap and pin buckle, the strap can generally be replaced with another compatible option if desired. Many buyers choose to swap straps to dress the watch up or down, though we recommend professional fitting for the best result.
Q: Does a quartz watch like this need servicing? A: Yes, although quartz watches are typically straightforward to own. The battery will need replacing over time, and periodic servicing is still recommended to help preserve performance, water resistance, and overall condition.
Q: Is this a good everyday watch or more of a dress watch? A: It works beautifully as a dress watch, but many owners also choose this style for everyday wear thanks to its slim profile, easy quartz movement, and timeless rectangular design. It is especially well suited to smart daywear, office wear, and occasion dressing.
