Longines 1595 Hexagonal Cal. 633 Vintage Watch

Longines Hexagonal 1975 — First impression - 1595

This Longines Hexagonal from 1975 captures the confident geometry that defined many of the era’s best Swiss dress watches, yet it keeps the execution disciplined and wearable. The reference 1595 pairs a crisp, angular stainless-steel case with a restrained silver dial that plays with light rather than relying on ornament. Proportions are modern-friendly at 36 mm, and the overall profile sits flat enough to work as an everyday vintage piece, not only a special-occasion watch. A framed date at 3 o’clock adds practicality, while the applied markers and clean printing preserve the formal character collectors look for in a period-correct Longines automatic.

Longines Hexagonal - Silver sunburst Dial

The dial presents as silver with a pronounced radial brushing that shifts from bright to smoky depending on angle, giving the watch depth without sacrificing clarity. Applied baton hour markers keep the layout architectural, and the minute track is fine and evenly spaced for precise time reading. The branding is balanced, with the winged hourglass emblem and “Automatic” text placed to maintain symmetry. At the bottom edge, “T SWISS MADE T” indicates period tritium luminous material, visible here as discreet lume dots at the ends of the markers rather than heavy, sporty plots.

Hexagonal 1595 - Lume-accented baton Hands

The handset follows the same purposeful theme: slim baton hour and minute hands with luminous inlays for low-light legibility, complemented by a straight central seconds hand. The darker finish of the hands creates contrast against the dial’s sunburst surface, improving readability while keeping the overall look understated. The date aperture is neatly executed with a raised frame that visually integrates it into the dial furniture, helping the window feel intentional rather than like an afterthought. Together, the hands and markers deliver a clean, precise aesthetic aligned with classic Longines dress watch design.

Longines Hexagonal 1975 — TV-shaped brushed steel architecture - 1595

The stainless-steel case is the defining feature: an assertive hexagonal/TV silhouette with broad brushed planes that emphasize the watch’s angular lines. The brushing is consistent across the top surfaces, producing a crisp, technical appearance that suits 1970s design language and wears well with both tailoring and casual clothing. The dial sits within an inner bezel ring that visually frames the face and reinforces the geometric theme. A high-profile crystal adds vintage character through subtle edge distortion and reflections. On the reverse, the caseback shows period-correct construction with multiple opening notches and visible age-appropriate wear, consistent with an honest used example.

Hexagonal 1595 - Signed Crown

A standout detail for originality is the signed crown, bearing the Longines hourglass emblem and “Longines” text. This is the kind of small, easily overlooked component that collectors value, because it reflects brand-correct hardware rather than a generic replacement. The crown size is practical for daily setting and winding, and it visually matches the watch’s sharp case geometry. In hand, this signed element adds a quiet confidence, reinforcing that the design was considered down to the functional touchpoints, not only the front-facing aesthetics.

Longines Hexagonal Leather Strap

The watch is fitted with a black leather strap featuring a pronounced grain texture and contrast stitching, with a lighter tan lining. It complements the brushed steel case and keeps the presentation formal without feeling delicate. With an 18 mm lug width, the watch is also easy to personalize: collectors can lean into the era with a period-style leather, sharpen the look with a minimalist strap, or soften the geometry with a suede option. As fitted, it maintains a refined, classic profile suitable for everyday wear.

Longines Hexagonal 1975 — Heritage styling in the 1970s design context

Longines has a long reputation for precision timekeeping and refined case design, and the Hexagonal is a particularly telling expression of the 1970s moment—when shapes became bolder, surfaces more architectural, and finishing more graphic. Unlike many exaggerated designs of the period, this reference stays disciplined: the case is assertive, but the dial remains calm and legible, keeping the watch firmly in the dress category. That balance is exactly what makes the model collectible today. It offers an unmistakable era signature without drifting into novelty, providing a historic wristwatch that feels authentic to its time and still looks intentional in a modern collection.
