This year, Longines is expanding its Flagship Heritage collection with new versions equipped with a moon-phase complication. With an understated, timeless design, the steel case with screw-down back measures 38.5mm in diameter. Its redesign features satin-brushed finishes and shortened chamfered lugs, making it the perfect size watch for any wrist.
An emblematic line for the brand since the late 1950s, Flagship was one of Longines’ very first collections. The ‘flagship’ flies the flag of the fleet’s Commander-in-Chief. The emblem of the Flagship Heritage collection, a caravel on a gold medallion, is embossed on the watch’s screw down back.
The timepieces are powered by an L899.5 self-winding mechanical movement with a moon-phase complication. Rotating on a small dial at 6 o’clock, this astronomical function is paired with the date indicator hand in the colours of the moon, the hour markers and the hours, minute and second hands, depending on the model. The calibre is also fitted with a silicon balance-spring, offering resistance to magnetic fields and superior precision. It has an up to 72-hour power reserve.
The new Flagship Heritage models also feature distinctive domed dials inspired by the original 1957 watch. Silvered opaline, sunray silver or sunray blue, they are enhanced by eleven applied hour markers, gilt or silvered, elongated at 3, 9 and 12 o’clock. The hours and minutes hands are gilt- or silvered polished, depending on the model – and coated with Super-LumiNova® for optimum readability, day or night.
Fitted with a new Heritage pin buckle, the brown, grey, or blue leather straps offer a perfect fit and comfort while matching the colours of the dials. A striking tribute to the line’s historic model, the new Flagship Heritage watches combine technical expertise with timeless elegance.
