Another festive season is upon us, and you know what that means… NEW FASHION DROPS! Yes, with Hari Raya just around the corner, it’s time for us to bring some new life into our wardrobes and give ourselves a fresh new look. From Longines to Coach, here are some of this week’s dope fashion drops:
Longines
The easiest way to spruce up your Raya look is with a memorable timepiece. The new LONGINES SPIRIT FLYBACK exemplifies the pioneering spirit that has driven the watchmaking brand since its earliest days, and is a fitting celebration of adventurers both past and present.
The Longines Spirit Flyback is equipped with cutting-edge technology. A new exclusive Longines calibre, resistant to magnetism and equipped with a silicon balance spring, drives this timepiece. A transparent case back reveals all the details of the calibre, including a personalised weight engraved with the globe representing the Longines Spirit collection and the name Longines Flyback. This new timepiece is also distinguished by its refined aesthetics and particularly meticulous finishes, which range between satin, matte, polished, and engraved details.
However, the additional Flyback function is what makes this timepiece unique, as with a simple press of a pusher, it instantly resets the chronograph’s direct-drive second hand, which immediately restarts timing from zero. A single press enables it to either stop, reset, or restart.
Unleash the pioneer within you now and take a look at the full Longines Spirit Collection here.
