Longines La Grande Classique

History
Part of the Elegance collection, the La Grande Classique de Longines range offers timepieces designed with characteristic slim cases and bands. Targeted at watch connoisseurs who appreciate performance in both function and fashion, each piece is a perfect rendition of the brand’s aesthetic values, design sensibilities and their focus on streamlined appearance. An example of a typical La Grande Classique de Longines timepiece is the L4.709.2.11.2 model.

Design
Offering a slim and sleek profile, the L4.709.2.11.2 model by Longines sports is a medium sized creation. Measuring 33m in diameter and 5 mm in thickness, the case is gold-plated and is made of PVD material. It encloses a white dial, and the case window is made of sapphire crystal that keeps the dial safe from blemishes and scratches. Stick hands in black grace the face of the dial and indicate painted black hour-markers in Roman numerals.

Contrasting the gold-finish case and designed with a tang buckle, is the watch strap made of genuine black leather. An easy to access crown construction makes winding more efficient. Its construction also includes golden lugs that connect the thin black band with the gold plated case. This timepiece’s black leather strap construction not only ensures a comfort-fit, but also long-lasting use. Moreover, the simple buckle design renders detachment and attachment easy, along with adjustment according to your wrist size

Features
Controlling the hands and helping one to read time is its quartz movement. Water resistant to a depth of 30m, this timepiece can easily withstand an accidental spell of rain. The model performs the basic hours, minutes and seconds functions with impeccable precision. A classic design with a modern touch, the L4.709.2.11.2 model is a timepiece that radiates a somber yet sophisticated appearance.
