Watch type
Vintage Swiss dress watches
Slim watches built to sit under a shirt cuff, read by their indices and hands more than by lume. Longines launched the Conquest in 1954 and followed it with the Flagship and the Admiral. IWC's Ingenieur 666 looks like a plain dress watch but hides a soft-iron inner case that shields the movement from magnetism.
