Q: What size is this Longines DolceVita, and how does it wear on the wrist?
A: This listing is the 23 mm DolceVita variant, a slim rectangular dress watch that offers a refined, elongated look on the wrist. Because the case is rectangular, it tends to wear a little more prominently than a round watch with the same quoted width, making it elegant and easy to dress up without feeling oversized.

Q: Is this Longines DolceVita quartz or automatic?
A: The 23 mm DolceVita configuration is a quartz model, which is popular for its reliable accuracy, low-maintenance daily use, and slim case profile. It is a practical choice if you want the look of a classic Swiss dress watch without the routine winding associated with many mechanical pieces.

Q: What does the small seconds dial do?
A: The small seconds display is the separate sub-dial that tracks the running seconds, rather than using a central seconds hand. It is a traditional design detail that gives the watch a more classic and dressy appearance while keeping the main dial clean and balanced.

Q: Is this watch water-resistant enough for everyday wear?
A: The DolceVita line in this size is generally rated to 3 bar, which is suitable for light everyday exposure such as splashes or brief contact with rain. It is not intended for swimming, showering, or water sports, especially with a leather strap, and water-resistance should be checked periodically over time.

Q: Can the black leather strap be replaced or changed?
A: Yes, the leather strap can be replaced when needed, whether for wear, comfort, or a new look. As with most dress watches, care should be taken during strap changes to avoid marking the case, so many owners prefer replacement by a professional or authorised service point.

Q: What is included with this watch?
A: This piece is listed as a full set and the original box is included. For pre-owned luxury watches, full set usually means the watch comes with its original presentation items and accompanying product information where available. If you would like confirmation of the exact contents, please review the product information on the listing or contact us before purchase.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: This 2025 watch is listed in like new condition, with light traces of use externally, like new internal condition, and shiny hardware showing only light scratches. In short, it presents very well and should appeal to buyers looking for a very lightly worn pre-owned example.

Q: How should I care for this watch and leather strap?
A: To keep it looking its best, avoid prolonged moisture, perfumes, oils, and direct heat, especially on the leather strap. Wipe the case gently with a soft dry cloth after wear, store the watch away from humidity when not in use, and have battery changes or servicing carried out carefully by a qualified professional.

Q: How will I know when the battery needs attention?
A: On Longines quartz watches, an end-of-life battery indication is commonly shown by one of the hands jumping in larger intervals rather than moving normally. If you notice unusual stepping or the watch stops, it is best to have the battery checked promptly by a trusted watch specialist.

Q: How do you authenticate a pre-owned Longines watch like this one?
A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned luxury items are reviewed through detailed authenticity checks that consider the serial number, construction, dial details, materials, finishing, and overall consistency with the model. This helps ensure the watch is accurately represented and confidently offered for resale.
