The Heritage collection by Longines presents a series of timepieces straight from its archives. The range epitomises its watchmaking heritage by bringing retro-chic style together with a modern mechanism. The single push-piece chronograph with column wheel encapsulates the range’s ideology and embodies the design and technical values of a piece dating back to 1913. The 40mm rose gold or steel case houses the self-winding L788 calibre designed by Longines in 2012 to bring the various functions (time, chronograph and date) to life and provide a 54-hour power reserve. On the white dial, the hours appear as 8 large black Arabic numerals (12 is in red) and the minutes lie in a slim scale with two blue hands. The date display appears in a window at 6 o’ clock whilst the small seconds and 30-minute counter stand at 9 and 3 o’ clock respectively. Price: 9,550 CHF (rose gold) – 3,950 CHF (steel)
