Since its debut in 1957, a signature feature of the flagship series has been an 18K gold medallion embossed on the caseback of the watch, hand-painted with enamel and depicting a swift sailboat navigating the vibrant blue enamel seas.The new 38.5 mm size of the flagship heritage series wristwatch is inspired by the unique curved dial of the original 1957 model, featuring Havana beige, anthracite, and jewel green sunray dials set against eleven applied hour markers. To ensure optimal readability, the rhodium-plated or rose gold-plated hour and minute hands are also coated with Super-LumiNova® luminescent paint, matching the colors of the moon and stars on the moon phase indicator.
Driven by the Longines exclusive L899.5 movement, this movement is equipped with a silicon balance spring and innovative components, combining a moon phase complication and up to 72 hours of power reserve. It features a brushed finish and tapered lugs for a brand-new wristwatch.
These elegant watches come with brown, anthracite, or black leather straps, paired with a stainless steel classic heritage series buckle, providing excellent fit and comfort, perfectly matching the colors with the dial.
