Longines, Ref. 1016, Cal. 6922, Men’s Dress Watch, 1969

Small seconds at 6 gives this 1969 Longines, reference 1016, a distinct lower-dial focus. The silver sunburst surface is framed by a slim polished bezel and long angular lugs. A 35 mm stainless steel case, hand-wound caliber 6922 and new high-quality black leather strap complete this men’s dress watch.

Sunburst dial with small seconds

The silver finish shifts under light from a brighter central area toward a slightly darker outer register. Applied baton hour markers define the display, with the printed Longines name and winged emblem below 12. The uncluttered upper half balances the separate seconds indication below.

At 6 o’clock, the small seconds display places the running indication away from the center. Slim straight hour and minute hands echo the applied batons, so the central handset and marker shapes remain consistent. The combination gives the dial its restrained, monochrome character without relying on extra decoration.

Polished steel and hand-wound caliber 6922

The polished stainless steel case of this vintage Longines watch measures 35 mm across and 40 mm from lug to lug. Long angular lugs taper toward an 18 mm strap opening, giving the round dial a defined outline. The narrow polished bezel keeps the silver dial visually prominent.

A low side profile supports wear with a shirt cuff. The case presents clean polished surfaces, while its plain, functional back continues the restrained exterior.

The new high-quality black leather strap reinforces the contrast between the silver dial and dark wrist attachment. It is a replacement accessory, separate from the original watch-head components, and its 18 mm width preserves the case’s light proportions.

This manual-wind vintage watch uses Longines caliber 6922 to power hours, minutes and small seconds.

The watch is used, fully serviced and fully operational. Its original watch-head components are retained, and it comes with a 12-month warranty.
