This Longines with ref. 4.761.4 corresponds to a special edition produced in the 1980s for the Saudi market, possibly as an institutional or commemorative gift. Its elegant and sober design, with square case and Roman numerals, is combined with the royal coat of arms of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which gives it a unique appeal for collectors of diplomatic watches or limited series on request. The presence of a quartz movement reflects the period's trend towards precision and slimness in design.
