Longines Watchmaking Tradition L2.628.5.11.7

ABOUT THE LONGINES WATCHMAKING TRADITION COLLECTION ESSENCE The Longines Watchmaking Tradition Collection of watches, as its name suggests, exemplifies the masterful aesthetics, superior technology, and refined crafting the brand is renowned for. This line of watches commemorates Longines’ success, which stems from its incessant and commendable evolution of movements- from the self-winding calibre 22A in 1945, to the innovative column-wheel technique in 2009, and most recently, the Single Push-Piece Column-wheel in 2012. The sub-collections offered by the Watchmaking Tradition line are the Longines Master, Longines evidenza, Longines Saint-Imier, Conquest Classic, and Longines Elegant. DESIGN Watches from the Longines Watchmaking Collection are incredibly varied in their styles, while at the same time incorporating the classic elegance inherent to the brand. The cases range from perfectly circular to the magnificent tonneau, made of materials such as stainless steel and 18K gold. Encased by sapphire crystal glass, each watch from this line is scratch-resistant for long enduring timekeeping. Most crowns are fluted to allow easy time adjustment along with a rugged element of appeal. The dials are offered in options ranging from shades of black to white, with particular models offering the unique shade of gilt or mother of pearl. Longines adorns the dials and bezels of specific watches with brilliant diamonds for a glamourous and sophisticated allure. Hourly intervals of time may be marked by traditional Roman numerals or contemporary Arabic numbers, while the hands are crafted of steel and plated in accordance with the theme of the ensemble. Bracelet options vary from stainless steel to leather, while some watches boast exquisite dual-toned creations. FEATURES Each watch from the Watchmaking Tradition collection is equipped with Longines’ high frequency self-winding calibre, making it a precise timekeeper. Certain editions from this line boast advanced chronographic functions, sporting multiple sub-dials and secondary tracks controlled by additional screws attached to the bezel. Most watches are water resistant to a depth of 30 metres, embodying a blend of technological prowess and artistic refinery.
