Distinctive features:
To mark its 185th anniversary, the Swiss luxury watch brand Longines launched an excellent addition to its range. The Longines Watchmaking Tradition Record Collection was first presented at Baselworld in 2017, and its name refers to the remarkable world record held by the Swiss luxury watch manufacture as the successful and oldest registered watch brand in the world. What makes the Longines Watchmaking Tradition Record Collection special are its precise automatic calibres, which are certified by the Contrôle officiel suisse des chronomètres (COSC). The automatic calibres are fitted with a monocrystalline silicon balance spring, which not only contributes to the longevity of the model but also makes the material incredibly insensitive and resilient. The models of the Longines Watchmaking Tradition Record Collection are available in four sizes: 26 mm, 30 mm, 38.5 mm and 40 mm. The case is made of polished stainless steel and radiates a touch of excellence and quality. The round timepieces have a classic design, drawing on some older models from the Swiss watch brand Longines. A further distinctive feature is their understated yet incredibly harmonious appearance. The models with a diameter of 38.5 mm and 40 mm have a transparent case back, giving wearers an unrestricted view of the inner workings of the wristwatch. Men can choose from a total of six different dial variations, while ladies can choose between seven dials. These consist of various combinations of dial colours and index designs, ranging from white through light and darker silver-grey to dark blue and black. For ladies a mother-of-pearl version is also available. An absolute eye-catcher is the version with a blue dial and a rose gold case. The combination of the delicate, gold-coloured case and deep blue creates a mysterious yet familiar aura. Another classic is the model with a black dial, which gives a sober look and adapts to any everyday situation. The ladies' models also stand out with breathtaking diamond indices. But that is not all, for some of the ladies' timepieces also feature a diamond-set bezel – guaranteed to attract every glance! Watch lovers can choose between straps in two different materials: black or brown alligator leather straps and bracelets in high-quality stainless steel. While the alligator leather straps impress above all with their natural, high-quality appearance, the stainless steel version is extremely popular because of its smooth transition between bracelet and case. Some watch models aimed at men have an understated, cool appearance and are adorned with Arabic numerals. They impress above all with their refined sunray finish, which creates a visual effect depending on how the light falls and looks magical in every situation. Anyone interested in sporty, modern watch models is sure to enjoy the timepieces with classic baton indices and silvered polished hands. Depending on the model, either the reliable calibre L888.4 or calibre L592.4 is fitted. While the small timepieces in this collection have a power reserve of 40 hours, the larger models reach a power reserve of up to 64 hours.
