Longines Heritage Classic
Automatic movement (Cal. L893). 26 jewels. 25,200 vph. Power reserve approximately 72 hours. Stainless steel (diameter 38.5mm, thickness 11mm). Water resistant to 3 bar. Price: 278,300 yen (tax included).
New color variations have been added to the Longines Heritage Classic, which was released in 2019. The 38.5mm case combines a sector dial reminiscent of the 1930s, and the deliberate omission of a date display highlights the heritage feel typical of Longines in recent years. The small seconds hand is also exquisitely positioned, not too close to the center, reminiscent of older models. A leather strap model is also available, and the combination with the Milanese bracelet shown in the photo is exquisite.
Longines Spirit
Automatic (Cal. L888.4). 21 jewels. 25,200 vph. Power reserve approximately 72 hours. Ti (diameter 40mm, thickness 12.20mm). Water resistant to 10 bar. Price: 347,600 yen (tax included).
The Longines Spirit, added to the collection in 2020, is quickly becoming a classic, and now features a long-awaited titanium case. The lineup includes two models: a fabric strap model and a bracelet model, both of which are three-hand models only. While the existing three-hand and chronograph models both had a date display, this new model has no date. The Longines Spirit, which has a slightly heavy head, was previously paired with a bracelet or thick leather strap, perhaps to balance the fit. However, the use of lightweight titanium means that a NATO-style fabric strap is now available.
Longines Spirit
Automatic movement (Cal. L888.4). 21 jewels. 25,200 vph. Power reserve approximately 72 hours. Stainless steel (diameter 40mm, thickness 12.20mm). Water resistant to 10 bar. Price: 278,300 yen (tax included).
This model incorporates the trendy color green into its dial. The Longines Spirit's green is a calm, deep hue, created by lacquering. Perhaps reflecting the spirit of the adventurers who once wore Longines watches and instruments and achieved great feats, the Super-LumiNova applied to the indexes has a burnt beige color. This green dial is only available on three-hand models.
Longines Master Collection
Automatic movement (Cal. L899). 21 jewels. 25,200 vph. Power reserve approximately 72 hours. Stainless steel (diameter 34mm, thickness 11.10mm). Water resistant to 3 bar. Price: 278,300 yen (tax included).
Surprisingly, a moon phase model was added to Longines' flagship Master Collection in 2019. It was only available for men, however. Two years later, in 2021, the moon phase has finally been added to the women's line. The new Master Collection, with its 34mm case, has a lineup of eight models. Find your favorite from a wide variety of options, including MOP dials, barleycorn dials, and sunray-finish blue lacquer dials.
