About the Longines Heritage Collection

Essence
There was a time when Longines timekeepers were not just artisans excelling in their field. They were explorers and adventurers, who not only designed watches but tested them during memorable flights and underwater adventures. The timepieces from the Heritage Collection celebrate their uninhibited spirits, responsible for creating history in the field of horology. Even today Longines continues to be rooted in its essence of originality by manufacturing stunningly designed timepieces. The company is recognised for introducing technologies, which have changed the face of the watchmaking industry and the Heritage collection is a tribute to such designers.

Design
The watches from this collection are equipped mostly with round cases crafted from stainless-steel or pink gold.  The dials are protected with AR sapphire crystal, making them scratch resistant and enhancing their sunlight legibility. Select models feature a transparent caseback allowing a glimpse into the intricate mechanism of the watch. 

Features
The collection is a tribute to mavericks and daredevils whose significant contributions to horology led to complex functionalities, enhanced reliability and durability. It is a matter of course that watches from this collection boast an assorted range of  features in its models- so connoisseurs who want a blend of form and function can choose a watch with utilities specific to their needs. Certain timepieces have luminous hour markers for legibility in the darkness. Others feature a chronograh function to measure elapsed time. A date window in select models, gives a holistic view of time. A precise Swiss automatic movement renders the watches in the collection singularly reliable. 

Popular Models 
Charles Lindbergh was the first man to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. The flagship model of the heritage collection is the remake of The Charles Lindbergh model. To enable the timepiece to withstand the challenging conditions of the flight, the pilot himself conceived the original model. The remake of this watch is an extraordinary feat. It involves a unique design and elaborate detailing. The most interesting attribute of the watch is its “hour angle feature”. This trait allows the wearer in determining his current position. As the earth makes a complete rotation of 360 degree on its axis in 24 hours, one hour represents a change of 15 degree. So if the angle on the watch measured 30 degree, for example, it would mean that he is two hours off the GMT.

    The flagship collection has been one of the most famous lines from Longines since its introduction in 1957, when launched it was the quintessential representation of the men’s dress watch of the 1950s.

    60 years later Longines pay tribute to their iconic flagship collection by launching three commemorative versions in yellow gold, rose gold and steel. While all three are limited editions, the gold versions are limited to 60 each but there will be 1957 made in steel.

    The watch houses the in-house L609 movement which is an improved version based on the ETA 2895/2 with 27 jewels and a power reserve of 42 hrs beating at 28,800bph. All the markers and even the logo are applied, and are either in rose or yellow gold colors. The back case bears a beautifully engraved caravel (sailing ship) The flagship owes its name to the ship, which bears the flag of the commander in chief of the fleet.

    Being a dress watch it is 38.5 mm wide, which is a sweet spot for many, and will slide under the cuffs of your shirtsleeve effortlessly. What makes this watch truly special is the lack of a date window and a second sub dial, it remains true to its elegant classic design. If you like the classic vintage style and if you are looking for a dependable limited edition automatic watch The Longines Flagship Heritage 60th Anniversary on brown alligator leather strap is the watch for you.
