Longines Flagship Heritage, Moonphase

Longines has unveiled three new Flagship Heritage models, highlighting their expertise in creating traditional and elegant dress watches. These steel-cased timepieces feature a moonphase and date complication on a sub-dial at six o'clock. The models are available in opaline silver with gold-tone accents, silver with white-metal accents, or blue with white-metal accents. With a diameter of 38.5mm and a thickness of 12.4mm, these watches offer 30 meters of water resistance and come with color-matched alligator straps. The closed casebacks feature a Flagship medallion.

Powering these watches is Longines' L899.5 automatic movement, offering a generous 72 hours of power reserve, a silicon balance spring, and a rate of 25,200 vph. The moonphase and date complications are elegantly integrated into a sub-dial. The domed dials add to the dressy appeal of these timepieces.



Priced at HK$ 15,000, these Flagship Heritage models pay homage to the line's 1950s origins while introducing a welcomed 38.5mm size. The watches exude a sophisticated charm. Longines has also mentioned that the lug length has been reduced, which is generally considered favorable.
