Longines Dress, Ref. 847 4427, Cal. L847.4, Men’s Manual Wind Vintage Watch, 1972

A vertically brushed champagne dial and recessed gold-tone crown distinguish Longines Ref. 847 4427 from 1972. This men's watch uses the thin, hand-wound Cal. L847.4 in a 33 mm gold-plated case, with applied black baton markers, three dark hands and a brown leather strap giving the design the restrained character of dress watches.

Brushed champagne and black baton details

The yellow dial retains its warm champagne appearance and vertically brushed finish. Slim black baton hour markers are applied, with no date window to interrupt the layout. Thin black stick hour and minute hands are accompanied by a matching central seconds hand. The dark indices and hands give the face definition against its warm background, preserving the watch's simple three-hand arrangement.

Thin hand-wound Cal. L847.4

The Longines Cal. L847.4 is an ultra-thin Swiss manual-winding mechanical movement with a specified frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. Its construction fits the slim case, while regular winding remains part of wearing this manual-wind watch. The small unsigned gold-tone crown is slightly recessed into the case, maintaining the silhouette and allowing smooth winding. Its lack of a signature does not establish replacement status.

Gold plating, polishing and brushed lugs

The gold-plated case measures 33 mm. A flat polished bezel contrasts with brushed lug surfaces and the vertically brushed finish described for the case. Its ultra-thin profile suits formal clothing and cuff wear. Gold plating identifies the coating, without a confirmed substrate or thickness. The brown leather strap complements the case and dial tones and has a period-appropriate appearance; that styling does not prove factory originality.

1972 dress design and current condition

The reference expresses the slim dress styling found among early-1970s vintage watches through its thin movement, uncluttered face and contrasted finishing. The absence of a calendar leaves the vertically brushed dial and dark baton details as the principal visual features. This used watch is fully serviced and fully operational, with original watch components retained.

Warranty and leather fitting

The watch comes with a 12-month warranty and worldwide shipping with secure, tracked delivery. The brown leather fitting complements the warm color balance of the watch. The originality statement concerns the watch components; a separate factory-original strap claim is not documented.
