Longines Expands Its Flagship Heritage Line with Emphasis on Elegance
Luxury watchmaker Longines recently expanded its Flagship Heritage collection with three new colorways. Aside from the stunningly sophisticated aesthetic of the timepieces, the watch models capture attention by way of their integrated moon phase display, sitting right above the six o'clock mark.
The bodies of the new Flagship Heritage pieces feature mirror-polished steel cases. The three new colorways include opaline silver, sunray silver, and sunray blue. Additionally, Longines makes the alligator strap available in brown, gray or blue. A tonal Longines logo is also included on the timepiece.
The watches are powered by the in-house L899.5 caliber, "a mechanical self-winding movement that boasts a frequency of 25,200 hourly vibrations, and a power reserve of up to 72 hours." The new stunning models with moon displays are available for $3,050 USD.
