Longines La Grande Classique

History
For 182 years, Switzerland-based, Longines has been making watches that are traditional, elegant and high on performance. Timepieces made by Longines were thus used during the first modern Olympics staged in Athens. Known for their precision, Longines watches have also been commissioned to time various landmark aeronautical events. Today, the brand, known for its winged hourglass logo, has outlets in more than 140 countries. It is a member of the Swatch Group Ltd, the world’s leading manufacturer of horological products. The Longines La Grande Classique line of watches combines timeless elegance with reliability.

Design
With its ultra-slim look, Longines L4.205.2.87.7 displays simplicity and femininity. This classic two-tone watch comes with a white Mother of Pearl dial and has 12 diamonds as hour indicators. It has an hour and minute hand. The dial is enclosed in a Tonneau stainless steel case that measures 22.2mm. The strap is made of stainless steel and yellow Gold Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) plating and has a push-release folding (deployment) clasp. It is light weight and has a fixed bezel. This timepiece is covered by sapphire crystal glass which is three times harder than mineral crystal and is shatterproof and scratch resistant.

Features
The Longines L4.205.2.87.7 features a Swiss Quartz movement which is extremely reliable and accurate and has a low maintenance cost. It keeps time by sending an electric current from a battery to a tiny quartz crystal which vibrates 32,768 cycles per second to ensure correct time. The elegant timepiece is water resistant to a depth of 30 metres.
