As a pillar of the fully mechanical Master Collection, the watch is defined by its traditional aesthetics, featuring a silver 'barleycorn' guilloché dial and blued steel hands. The big date utilizes two independent discs to enhance legibility—a significant functional upgrade from a standard date window. This complication is driven by the Calibre L607, which leverages the proven ETA base caliber, fitted with a large date module.
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particularly through its celebrated Heritage collection, which offers faithful recreations of its most significant historical references.
