The cushion case is gold-tone with a brushed integrated bracelet, and the dial is a fine linen weave in silver, marked only with applied gold batons, the winged hourglass and the word Quartz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no calendar, no seconds hand, nothing to break the surface. This is the Longines answer to the thin electronic dress watch, where the whole argument rests on the quality of the dial finish and the proportion of the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back is engraved CHARLES D.

Its response to the quartz era was to keep the dress watch exactly as it had been and simply change what was inside, which is why a piece like this still carries a properly finished linen dial rather than a printed one. Goodyear, like most large American manufacturers of the period, marked long service with a signed Swiss watch rather than a plaque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003chr size=\"2\" width=\"100%\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOffered by ReWrist.
