The Longines Heritage Classic with the sector dial is a modern reinterpretation of a 1930s-era Longines timepiece. The design is defined by its distinct concentric dial, which features different finishes—a matte center, a circular brushed hour track, and a snailed small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock.
Powering the watch is the Longines Calibre L893, an automatic movement with a silicon balance spring for enhanced resistance to magnetism and a substantial 72-hour power reserve. Its compact 38.5mm case, combined with the vintage-inspired "beads of rice" bracelet, positions it as a thoughtfully executed and balanced modern classic.
Founded in Saint-Imier in 1832, Longines is one of the most enduring watchmaker, identified by its winged hourglass logo—the oldest registered trademark for a watchmaker in continuous use. The brand was an early pioneer of industrialized watch production, establishing a formidable reputation as a true manufacture capable of producing exceptionally engineered movements.
Longines then took various role as the official timekeeper for championship sports and as an indispensable instrument for the pioneers of aviation, including Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart. Today, as a cornerstone of the Swatch Group, Longines expertly leverages its vast archives, particularly through its celebrated Heritage collection, which offers faithful recreations of its most significant historical references.
