HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the supplied guarantee card, which matches the serial number on the case back, we can accurately date this watch to being sold on 23rd March 2002.
CONDITION
The Longines 263 quartz movement is a branded version of an ETA quartz, so reliability and service levels should not provide any issues. The dial and movement is cased in a slender stainless steel case, yet still has some depth – the way the minute and hour markers stand out is exceptional in such a slim case. The skeleton hands still provide good contrast to make the watch easy to read, and the crown is the original signed item. The case and bracelet are unpolished so will show some light scratches but retain their sharp edges, as designed. The bracelet is quite long and our sister website, SpareLinks.com, may have extra links if required. The sapphire crystal does have some light scratches. The grey dial is an interesting, and not one we have seen before on the Oposition range.
This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box, papers and our Certificate of Authenticity.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
