Two New Vintage-Inspired Watches Revive the Classic 'Tuxedo Dial'

Stay on top of this year's best new watch releases here The vintage-remake craze in the watch industry has led to the rediscovery of all kinds of styles and themes from bygone eras, many of which were previously known only to dedicated collectors The handsome new Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo recreates two models produced in the 1940s that featured "Tuxedo dials" - and it's easy to see why they were thusly named.

Specifically, both watches feature a silver center section surrounded by a black ring beneath the Arabic numeral hour markers A little larger than their historical counterparts, the first of Longines' new watches is a simple time-only with sub-seconds at 6 o'clock and a 38.5mm-wide case; the other is a chronograph measuring 40mm wide Both watches use ETA-based automatic movements with silicon hairsprings and extended power reserves.

Both watches will come on appropriately handsome black leather straps, with a price of $2,000 for the time-only and $3,000 for the chronograph. . Source
