It’s not glaringly obvious but this watch is nearly 80 years old (79 to be precise)! The Longines Heritage is actually a new take on a model dating back to 1935. Originally designed for the Czechoslovakian air force, its reputation for reliability and resistance ended up winning the general public over. The cushion-shaped 42mm steel case, its bevelled and angular structure and fluted bezel give the watch a bold look and big personality. The large white luminescent Arab numerals dotted around the matt black dial make it easy to tell the time even in the dark. The minutes are displayed on a white track surrounding the edge of the dial. Two rhodium skeleton hands coated in Super LumiNova point to the hours and minutes whilst the seconds are nestled in a counter at 6 o’ clock. There’s also a white-on-black date display at 6 o’ clock. All the functions are brought to life by the L615 self-winding mechanical movement designed by Longines. The Heritage 1935’s power reserve lasts up to 42 hours. Price: 1,900 CHF
