Longines Ladies’ Wristwatch with Jordanian Royal Family Crest (Ref. 6484.1, 1980s)

This rare Longines ladies’ wristwatch dates to the 1980s and carries notable commemorative significance. Produced to honour the Jordanian Royal Family, the watch features a cream-coloured dial with Roman numerals, accented by the crest of the Jordanian Royal Family and the name of King Hussein bin Talal presented in Arabic script. With a case diameter of approximately 20.5 mm excluding the crown, the watch displays the refined proportions typical of formal ladies’ watches from this period.

The gold-plated case with a stainless-steel case back houses the Longines Quartz Calibre L961.2, which is in working order and keeping time as expected. The watch is in very good overall condition, showing only light signs of wear consistent with age. It is currently fitted with a non-original leather strap secured by a gold-plated pin buckle, offering a sympathetic and wearable presentation.

This piece represents an uncommon example of a special-order Longines dial, appealing to collectors interested in royal commissions, Middle Eastern provenance, and historically distinctive quartz-era timepieces.

Interesting Fact: Longines has frequently produced special-dial watches for Middle Eastern royalty and state institutions, many of which were issued in limited numbers and never commercially retailed.
