{"title":"1969 Birth Year Watches","description":"\u003cp\u003e1969 was defined by one of the most iconic moments in human history: the Apollo 11 Moon landing. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first people to walk on the Moon, turning the Space Age into a shared global memory. A watch from 1969 carries the atmosphere of that extraordinary year, making it a meaningful choice for someone born in 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn watchmaking, 1969 was a landmark year for both mechanical and electronic innovation. Zenith introduced the El Primero automatic chronograph, while Seiko released the Astron, the world’s first commercially available quartz wristwatch. At the same time, the Omega Speedmaster became forever linked with the Moon landing. A 1969 birth year watch connects personal history with one of the most important years in watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"eterna-eterna-matic-1000-ref-133it-automatic","title":"Eterna Eterna-Matic 1000 Ref. 133IT Automatic, 1969","description":"\u003ch2\u003eEterna Eterna-Matic 1000 Ref. 133IT Automatic from 1969\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage Eterna Eterna-Matic 1000 Ref. 133IT Automatic from 1969, a Swiss men’s automatic dress watch with a refined silver dial, slim applied baton hour markers, central seconds, and a clean date-free layout. This Eterna represents the elegant side of mid-1960s Swiss watchmaking, combining a thin automatic case profile with the brand’s important Eterna-Matic movement heritage. The watch has a restrained and highly wearable appearance, making it a strong choice for collectors looking for a classic Eterna automatic with understated design and everyday vintage appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSilver dial with clean Eterna-Matic styling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial has a bright silver tone with a simple and balanced appearance. Slim applied baton hour markers are positioned around the dial, giving the watch a refined dress-watch character without making the layout feel busy. The Eterna signature and five-ball logo sit below 12 o’clock, while the Eterna-Matic text above 6 o’clock identifies the watch as one of the brand’s automatic models. The overall dial design is calm, elegant, and very typical of a well-proportioned 1960s Swiss dress watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNo-date layout and balanced proportions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe absence of a date window is one of the strengths of this watch. It keeps the dial symmetrical and allows the silver surface, applied markers, and central hands to remain the main visual focus. This clean no-date layout gives the watch a more formal and timeless appearance than many calendar-equipped automatic models from the same period. The result is a vintage Eterna that feels simple, balanced, and easy to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSlim hands and applied baton markers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is fitted with slim central hour and minute hands, matched by a central seconds hand for practical daily timekeeping. The hands work naturally with the narrow baton markers and preserve the light visual language of the dial. The markers appear crisp and elegant, giving the watch enough structure while keeping the design understated. This combination makes the dial highly readable without losing its dress-watch refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSteel-toned case with slim vintage profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case has a polished steel-toned appearance with a narrow bezel, straight lugs, and a slim side profile. From the side views, the watch presents as elegant and relatively thin for an automatic model, with a raised vintage-style crystal above the dial. The lugs extend cleanly from the case and give the watch balanced wrist presence without feeling oversized. Visible age-related marks may be present, consistent with a used vintage watch from 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEterna-Matic automatic movement heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Eterna-Matic name is one of the most important details on this watch. Eterna introduced the Eterna-Matic automatic movement system in 1948, using a ball-bearing rotor system that became an important innovation in automatic watchmaking. This model continues that automatic movement tradition in a refined dress-watch format. The movement close-up photo gives buyers useful transparency and supports the watch’s identity as a true Swiss automatic Eterna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCaseback and movement transparency\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe listing includes both movement and back case photos, which are especially useful for a vintage automatic watch.

The silver dial, slim baton markers, central seconds, polished case, and no-date layout create a versatile appearance that works well with both formal clothing and smart-casual outfits. It is a watch that relies on proportion and mechanical heritage rather than decorative excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this Eterna-Matic 1000 stands out\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Eterna Eterna-Matic 1000 Ref. 133IT stands out because of its clean silver no-date dial, slim applied markers, automatic movement heritage, elegant steel-toned case, and strong 1965 design character.

The manually wound Durowe D450-2 powers central seconds and a neatly framed date at 3 o’clock, while long, faceted hands and black baton markers create crisp legibility. On the wrist, the thin bezel and straight lugs give the watch a larger visual footprint than the dimensions suggest—an elegant, collectible timepiece from vintage German watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSilver Sunburst Dial with Framed Date Dial\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial presents a fine silver sunburst finish that catches light evenly across the gently domed surface. Hour indexes are a mix of slim printed batons and broader rectangular black blocks at the cardinal points, delivering strong orientation without clutter. A date aperture at 3 o’clock is framed in metallic silver; the white date wheel with black numerals preserves the dial’s monochrome balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBranding appears beneath 12 (“Stowa”) with the marque emblem, while “17 Rubis Antichoc” sits above 6 o’clock—both sharply printed and period-correct.

Straight, lightly tapered lugs ensure a secure stance on the wrist, while the mid-case shows crisp transitions between polished planes. The domed acrylic crystal contributes warmth and vintage distortion at the dial edge. Around back, a snap-on caseback with multiple pry notches is period-correct and closes flush, preserving the watch’s slim profile and dress-watch comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCrown\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crown at 3 o’clock is unsigned, coin-edged, and appropriately sized for manual winding.

Its 38.0 mm cushion case presents strong wrist presence without excess bulk, while the domed crystal and glossy black dial supply period charm and high contrast. Inside ticks the automatic PUW 1561, a reliable movement from Pforzheim that underpins precise, everyday timekeeping. With drilled lugs, a rotating bezel, and a balanced dial layout, this Seatime delivers the kind of versatility collectors seek in a wearable historic wristwatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeatime — Glossy Black Diver’s Dial with Luminous Indices\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial is deep black with a glossy finish that amplifies legibility under changing light. Long rectangular hour markers are filled with aged luminous material and anchored by Arabic numerals at the quarters for instant orientation. A crisp minute track hugs the periphery, while the framed date aperture at 6 o’clock integrates neatly into the layout. The “Stowa Seatime” signature sits beneath 12 o’clock, with “Automatic 25 Rubis” above 6—both cleanly printed and period-correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeatime PUW 1561 — Baton Hands\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWide, lume-filled baton hour and minute hands provide authoritative readability typical of late-1960s dive watches. The slender central seconds hand extends to the minute track and carries a luminous tip for at-a-glance confirmation in low light. Proportions are carefully judged: the minute hand reaches the outer scale, the hour hand terminates at the markers, and the sweep seconds keeps the display dynamic yet uncluttered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCushion-Profile Chrome-Plated Case\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cushion case measures 38.0 mm across with a compact 43.0 mm lug-to-lug, striking a balance between presence and comfort. Chrome-plated surfaces deliver a bright, mirror finish that frames the dial, while the case flanks exhibit tool-like solidity. The bidirectional bezel features a black insert with bold white numerals and a luminous pip at 12 for elapsed-time tracking. A domed crystal adds pleasing distortion at the edges, reinforcing the watch’s vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeatime PUW 1561 — Crown\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crown at 3 o’clock is coin-edged for secure grip and sized appropriately for routine setting and winding via the automatic unit. Its profile sits close to the case to minimize snagging—an era-accurate choice that complements the Seatime’s practical diving intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStrap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitted to an interchangeable 18.0 mm strap system (shown on a NATO-style textile), the watch wears securely and suits both casual and sport contexts. Drilled lugs make strap changes straightforward, encouraging experimentation with rubber, canvas, or leather while maintaining the timepiece’s tool-watch heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAutomatic Movement PUW 1561\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowering the Seatime is the German-made PUW 1561 automatic movement from Deutsche Uhren-Rohwerke (Pforzheim). The caliber features central seconds, a date complication, and shock protection, with a full-rotor winding system that efficiently maintains reserve during daily wear. Operating at 21,600 vph (3 Hz) with 25 jewels, the 1561 is prized for robust construction and straightforward serviceability—qualities that translate into stable accuracy and longevity when properly maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHeritage of the Stowa Seatime in the Golden Era of Dive Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmerging at the height of the recreational diving boom, the Seatime embodies late-1960s priorities: high-visibility displays, strong water-ready cases, and dependable mechanical engineering. While peers from Swiss makers dominated headlines, Stowa’s German approach delivered clarity, durability, and excellent value. This reference, with its cushion geometry and luminous architecture, captures that moment—now increasingly collectible among enthusiasts who appreciate vintage European watchmaking beyond the usual suspects.

At 34.0 mm, it wears with the kind of elegance that collectors value because the long lugs and tight 39.0 mm lug-to-lug create a balanced footprint on the wrist. The gold-plated exterior brings warmth, while the design remains disciplined and readable, avoiding unnecessary decoration. Geneve models are appreciated for offering authentic Omega quality in a clean, versatile form, and this example stays true to that spirit. With a manual-wind caliber at its heart, it also delivers the daily interaction that defines traditional mechanical ownership, making it a quietly compelling vintage timepiece for serious enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOmega Geneve - Silver sunburst Dial\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial is finished in a silver-toned sunburst, producing a soft radial shimmer that shifts from bright to satin depending on light. Applied baton hour markers keep the layout crisp, and their dark inlay detail adds contrast and definition without turning the watch into a “two-tone gimmick.” A fine minute track supports accurate setting, and the typography is kept minimal, preserving the Geneve line’s reputation for clarity. At 6 o’clock, the “SWISS MADE T” signature is present, a period-correct detail that collectors often look for when assessing originality and era-appropriate specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneve 131.019SP - Dauphine Hands\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFaceted dauphine hands reinforce the dress character, catching highlights cleanly as the wrist moves. The dark inlay treatment continues on the hands, tying them visually to the applied markers and improving legibility against the silver dial. A slim central seconds hand adds a precise visual reference while maintaining the calm symmetry of the design. Overall, the handset feels purposeful rather than decorative: it complements the minimalist dial architecture and suits the watch’s role as a classic, easy-to-wear Omega from the end of the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOmega Geneve 1969 131.019SP - 20-micron Gold Plated Case\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case is gold plated, and the inner caseback confirms a 20-micron specification, a robust plating standard that was widely used on quality Swiss dress watches of the era. The construction pairs a gold-toned exterior with a stainless steel back, blending vintage elegance with practical durability. Visually, the profile is thin and clean, with a smooth bezel line and elongated lugs that give the watch a more modern stance than its diameter suggests. The acrylic crystal contributes to the authentic mid-century look, softening reflections in a way that sapphire rarely replicates. In total, the case design delivers the Geneve’s key promise: refined presence without excess bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneve 131.019SP - Crown\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA neatly proportioned gold-tone crown sits close to the case, maintaining the slim side profile while still offering secure grip for winding and setting. Its fine fluting is in keeping with Omega’s restrained dress references, prioritizing function over overt branding. The crown experience matters on a manual-wind piece like this, because it supports the daily ritual that defines traditional Swiss mechanical timekeeping. Everything about the crown’s sizing and placement feels consistent with a watch designed to slip under a cuff and remain comfortable through extended wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOmega Geneve Leather Strap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is fitted with a new, high-quality handmade leather strap by Kuki in green, correctly matched to the 18.0 mm lug width. The color choice pairs particularly well with the gold-plated case, adding a tasteful, collector-leaning twist while staying firmly within dress-watch sensibilities. The strap’s texture keeps the look refined rather than casual, and it helps this Geneve transition easily from formal tailoring to smart everyday wear. As a complete package, the strap supports the watch’s purpose as a wearable vintage Omega rather than a purely archival object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOmega Geneve 1969 — Cal. 601 manual-wind precision\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower comes from the Omega Cal. 601, a respected hand-wound movement known for straightforward engineering and long-term serviceability. The movement is marked as a 17-jewel Swiss caliber, reflecting Omega’s emphasis on robust fundamentals and consistent precision timekeeping during the era. Cal. 601 is valued by collectors because it offers dependable operation without unnecessary complexity, which is exactly what many enthusiasts want from a vintage daily-wear dress watch. Manual winding also enables a slimmer case profile and reinforces the tactile appeal of traditional horology, where ownership includes a small daily moment of interaction. For a 1969 Geneve, Cal. 601 is an ideal pairing: reliable, historically correct, and genuinely enjoyable to live with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHeritage of the Omega Geneve in late-1960s Swiss dress design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Geneve name became closely tied to Omega’s clean, modernist direction in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a period when Swiss brands refined proportions and dial clarity to suit contemporary lifestyles. Rather than relying on heavy ornament, the Geneve line focused on balance, legibility, and subtle finishing—qualities that remain timeless for collectors today. This reference expresses that philosophy through disciplined dial furniture, a slim gold-plated case, and a hand-wound movement that keeps the overall profile elegant. It is unmistakably Omega, yet it avoids the obviousness of more heavily branded or sport-oriented lines, which is precisely why Geneve models continue to attract enthusiasts who value design purity and authentic Swiss watchmaking heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOmega Geneve 1969 — 12-month warranty, Shipping worldwide Condition, Originality, trust signals\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watch is offered in used condition and presents as a complete, wearable vintage piece with strong collector integrity. It is fully serviced, fully operational, and confirmed with all original watch components, aligning with expectations for authenticity rather than rebuilt approximation. The reference, dial layout, and movement choice remain consistent with the model, supporting confidence in period-correct originality. It is sold with a 12-month warranty for added peace of mind, and we ship worldwide with careful packing and professional handling.

It has enough dial opening to feel clear and balanced, yet it keeps the compact profile expected from a proper dress watch of the period. The case shape is notably slim in side view, and the straight lugs extend cleanly from the round mid-case, giving the watch a neat, controlled outline rather than a bulky stance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eClean lines without unnecessary visual weight\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat stands out immediately is the absence of excess.

That gives this watch a focused appearance that suits formal wear particularly well, while still making it easy to use as an everyday vintage watch. Among \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/omega-vintage-watches\"\u003eOmega Geneve dress watches from the late 1960s\u003c\/a\u003e, this configuration remains especially appealing for buyers who prefer uncluttered manual wind pieces with classic proportions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eSilver-tone dial layout with a calm, balanced rhythm\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ch3\u003eApplied markers and open dial space\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe dial presents in a soft silver tone with a gentle brushed or sunburst effect that catches light without becoming flashy. Applied baton hour markers run around the perimeter, each one contributing to the watch’s orderly, symmetrical layout. The printed minute track sits discreetly at the outer edge, helping frame the dial while preserving the spare aesthetic that defines many well-executed Omega dress references from this era.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDark hands against a lighter dial surface\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe handset creates a strong visual contrast. Both the hour and minute hands appear slim and dark, and the central seconds hand adds a little extra length that reinforces the dial’s clean geometry. The applied Omega logo and printed Geneve signature are positioned with plenty of breathing room, which keeps the dial readable and composed. In practical terms, this is the sort of design that works because every visible element serves a purpose and nothing competes for attention.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCase architecture, finish, and strap pairing\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel case has a polished bezel and polished outer surfaces that complement the more understated dial treatment. From the side, the watch appears notably thin, which is an important part of its appeal as a 1960s dress model. The caseback shows a brushed finish, creating a useful contrast between the visible front-facing polish and the more utilitarian rear surface. The watch is fitted with a new high quality leather strap in dark brown, and its grain and tone work particularly well with the warm accents of the markers. That strap choice gives the watch a slightly richer, less formal edge than black leather would, while remaining entirely appropriate for a piece of this style.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCal. 601, servicing, and day-to-day ownership\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe movement shown in the images is the confirmed Omega Cal. 601, a manual winding caliber that suits the watch’s straightforward layout and period-correct character. The inside caseback also confirms Ref. 131.019, linking the exterior and movement presentation in a reassuringly coherent way. According to the supplied product data, this Omega is fully serviced, fully operational, and offered with a 12-month warranty. The same data also confirms original watch components, which matters for buyers looking for a vintage mechanical watch with stronger collector relevance as well as practical usability.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eWhy this Ref. 131.019 still makes sense now\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are many vintage Omega dress watches, but not all of them deliver this particular combination of simplicity, confirmed Cal. 601 mechanics, and late-1960s Geneve styling.

In practice, the watch wears with more presence than those numbers suggest because the case is built around a broad, squared silhouette rather than a narrow round profile. The wide dial opening and short vertical span create a watch that reads clearly on the wrist, especially for anyone drawn to late-1960s experimentation in dress-watch design.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhy the shape changes the feel of the watch\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe case form is the first thing that separates this example from standard period dress pieces. Its brushed stainless steel exterior has a soft cushion-like square outline, with straight, recessed strap entry points that keep the profile tight and architectural. That geometry gives the watch a calm but assertive stance. Within the broader world of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/longines-vintage-watches\"\u003eLongines late-1960s manual wind watches\u003c\/a\u003e, this reference stands out for offering something less expected than a classic round dial while still remaining easy to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eThe dial makes the design memorable\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCream center framed by a blue chapter ring\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe dial is highly specific and visually coherent. At the center is a soft cream field with minimal text, while the outer portion is framed by a dark blue border marked with fine pale minute divisions. That contrast gives the watch a crisp, almost graphic quality without making it feel loud. Because the inner section is so clean, the border does most of the visual work, creating structure and depth while preserving the spare mood of the watch.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA two-hand layout that suits the reference\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a two-hand display, and that simplicity is central to the watch’s appeal. The slim hands sit neatly within the cream inner dial, reinforcing the measured, uncluttered character of the piece. There are no applied hour markers interrupting the central surface, and the branding remains compact and well placed. The result is a layout that feels controlled and period-correct, with the blue outer track acting almost like a frame around the display rather than just a functional scale.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCase finishing, strap choice, and side profile\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe exterior surfaces appear predominantly brushed, which suits the angular case especially well and gives the watch a more contemporary edge than a fully polished finish would. Along the edges, the transitions are clean and help define the profile from multiple angles. The side view shows a low, broad shape with little unnecessary thickness, keeping the watch close to the wrist. It is fitted with a new blue strap, and that pairing works particularly well here because it echoes the dial border rather than competing with it. The stitched attachment style visible in the photos also contributes to the unusual presentation, making the watch feel more integrated and design-led than a typical dress model on a generic strap.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCal. 428, confirmed details, and buyer reassurance\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe movement shown in the images is the confirmed Longines Cal. 428, a manual winding caliber that fits the watch’s clean two-hand format and understated ownership experience. The inside caseback confirms Ref. 8416-1, while the dial, crown, movement, and branded presentation box all support the coherent identity of the watch as presented. According to the supplied data, this example is fully serviced, fully operational, includes original watch components, and comes with a 12-month warranty. For a buyer, that combination matters because it adds confidence to a watch whose appeal is not just stylistic but also practical as a wearable vintage mechanical piece.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCollector appeal in a less common Longines design direction\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eMany vintage dress watches rely on familiar formulas: silver round dial, baton markers, slim bezel, conventional lugs. This Longines takes a different route. Its appeal comes from shape, negative space, and the contrast between cream and blue, all within a compact steel case from 1969. That makes it attractive to collectors who want a watch with stronger design identity without moving into oversized or overly decorative territory.

The proportions feel classic rather than small, helped by the open dial and slim bezel that allow the watch to present more surface than the dimensions alone might suggest. On the wrist, the case remains slim and controlled, making it easy to wear with a shirt cuff, tailoring, or quieter everyday clothing.

Applied baton markers keep the display clean and disciplined, while the printed Longines signature and winged emblem sit neatly below 12 o’clock without crowding the upper half of the dial. The layout remains highly legible and especially well judged, with each element given enough space to breathe.

A slim polished bezel frames the dial closely, allowing the silver surface to remain the main visual feature. Seen from the side, the watch keeps a notably low profile, which strengthens its dress orientation and helps the case sit neatly against the wrist.

The darker strap sharpens the monochrome palette of the watch and keeps the overall look versatile across both formal and daily use.

The movement format also brings a more direct ownership experience, making the watch engaging in a way that fits its period.

For anyone looking for a vintage Longines that delivers classic styling, honest movement appeal, and strong everyday versatility, Ref. 1016 makes a convincing choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\nTechnical Table\n\u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLongines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUsed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGender\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMen’s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCaliber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6922\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCategory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDress Vintage Watch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduction Year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1969\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial Color\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCase Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35.0 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLug to Lug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40.0 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLug Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.0 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCase Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMovement Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual Winding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully Serviced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully Operational\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal Watch Components\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 Months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Longines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43764925988929,"sku":null,"price":690.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/2768\/1857\/files\/Longines_-Ref.-1016_-Cal.-6922_-Men_s-Dress-Watch_-1969.webp?v=1776000886"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewatchstudio.com\/collections\/1969-birth-year-watches.oembed","provider":"Vintage Watch Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
