Longines Heritage Classic Watch Is Excellent Blend of Old And New

In case you didn't notice from the name, the new Longines Heritage Classic watch delves into the past for inspiration, hitting aesthetic pay-dirt in the process Had this latest Longines Heritage model been shown on a classic brown crocodile strap, it would have been instantly forgettable As it is, I think the Longines Heritage Classic watch is possibly my favorite release from the brand since the Longines Pulsometer Chronograph, which came across as similarly authentic.

While a manual-wind movement might have been more period-appropriate, Longines has chosen to outfit this model with the new L893.5, which has an operating frequency of 25,200vph That is equivalent to 3.5 Hz That slightly slower-than-the-modern-average frequency affords the Longines Heritage Classic a robust 64-hour power reserve.

In my opinion, the Longines Heritage Classic watch is a brilliant fusion of old and new, and at $2,150 it offers any customer on the cusp of buying into Longines a great entry point There are two options available: The Longines Heritage Classic comes on either a mottled blue leather strap with an anthracite NATO included or a black leather strap with a blue NATO as an extra. .
