Q: What size is this Longines Dolce Vita watch? A: This watch has a 26mm case, giving it an elegant rectangular dress-watch look that wears neatly on the wrist. It is a refined size that suits buyers looking for a slimmer, more classic profile rather than an oversized watch.
Q: What movement does this watch use? A: This model uses a quartz movement. That means it is battery-powered, easy to wear, and convenient for everyday use, with no winding needed in normal wear.
Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist? A: The current bracelet size fits a 17cm wrist or smaller. If your wrist is smaller, a watchmaker may be able to adjust the bracelet depending on the available links and overall construction.
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: What is the condition of this watch? A: The overall condition is good. There are light scratches on the case and bracelet, along with light signs of use internally. Please review the product images and product information for the best overall impression of its pre-owned condition.
Q: Does this watch come with box or papers? A: No, this piece comes with no accessories. Please refer to the product information for exactly what is included with the watch.
Q: Is this an authentic Longines watch? A: Yes. At A Retro Tale, all items are carefully checked for authenticity by specialists before being offered for sale, so you can shop vintage and pre-owned pieces with confidence.
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. Even if a watch originally had water resistance, it is best not to assume vintage water protection remains unchanged over time unless it has been recently pressure tested.
Q: Is this model considered vintage? A: Yes. This watch dates to around 2005 and is presented as a vintage Longines piece. It offers the appeal of Swiss-made craftsmanship together with the timeless Dolce Vita rectangular design.
