Vintage Longines we buy
Longines has made watches in Saint-Imier since 1832, and its vintage production is wide. We buy Conquest and Flagship automatics from the 1950s and 1960s, chronographs fitted with the 13ZN and 30CH calibres, dress watches in 9KT, 14KT and 18KT gold, and military issue pieces, including the British Army W.W.W. watch and Royal Air Force pilots' watches. Pocket watches, early wrist chronographs and steel sports models are also considered, whether kept in a drawer for years or worn daily.
Modern Longines we buy
From current and recent production we buy the HydroConquest dive watch, the Master Collection including moonphase and chronograph models, the Spirit and Spirit Zulu Time, the DolceVita, the Conquest, the Legend Diver and the Heritage reissues. Modern Longines have the serial number engraved on the case back and a reference beginning with L. The guarantee card, box, spare links and service receipts are worth sending with the watch. Scratches, bezel wear and bracelet stretch are noted, and every offer is subject to inspection.
Movement numbers, case numbers and the archive extract
A vintage Longines is identified by the serial number engraved on the movement, with the calibre number beside it, and by the case number stamped inside the case back. Longines keeps production records and issues an Extract from the Archives against the movement serial number, stating the original model and when it was invoiced. If you have an extract, photograph it. We check that dial, case and movement belong together, and note redials, replaced hands and polishing. Leave the case back closed if it does not open easily.

Questions about selling Longines watch
What is a Longines Extract from the Archives?
It is a document issued by Longines from its own production records. It is requested using the serial number engraved on the movement and records the original model, the calibre and the date the watch was invoiced. It supports the identification of a vintage Longines and we take it into account, though we also buy watches without one.
Where do I find the numbers on a vintage Longines?
The serial number is engraved on the movement, so it is only visible with the case back removed. The case number and any gold hallmarks are stamped inside the case back. Do not force the watch open. Photographs of the dial, the outside of the case back and the lugs are enough for a first valuation.
Do you buy Longines 13ZN and 30CH chronographs?
Yes. The 13ZN, introduced in 1936, and the 30CH that followed in 1947 are chronograph calibres made by Longines itself, both produced with a flyback function. They are assessed on the originality of the dial, hands, pushers and case, and on the condition of the movement. Send photographs before any cleaning or servicing.
Do you buy military Longines watches?
Yes. Longines supplied the British Army with the W.W.W. watch, marked with the broad arrow and issue numbers on the case back, and made pilots' watches for the Royal Air Force. Original dials, matching case back markings and unaltered cases are what we check. Photograph the case back engravings clearly.
