Hands and dial look to be a La Grande Classique de Longines . But the lugs are different.

My take would echo Winterlongs. Nice dress watch IMH.

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

If you can open the case back and read the serial number contact the museum section of the Longines website. They can tell you when it was made and perhaps where it was sold to when it was new. I'm not sure if this one opens from the back or front, could you post a photo of the back?

Or just type the serial number (7 digits) here, if it's pre 1970 it will give you an approx. year.

If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
