Accessorising your look with Longines

The Longines Heritage Classic Chronograph 1946:

The rebirth of a timeless piece first issued in the late 1940s, Longines rejuvenates a classic. It’s understated vintage style enthrals watchmaking conoisseurs of the modern era. Within the 40mm stainless steel case of The Longines Heritage Classic Chronograph 1946 is a self winding chronograph movement developed exclusively for the brand.
In keeping with the design of the piece that inspired it, this watch features a domed silvered opaline dial enhanced by two finely sculptured counters, a 30 minute counter and a small seconds counter. The harmonious Arabic numberals in the italic “dolphin” stryle characteristic of this period, set the pace for this timepiece. At 12 o’clock, Londines lettering is subtly applied to the dial in antique style characters. The “leaf” style hands in blued steel bring out the beauty of the elegant piece, topped with an anti-reflection sapphire crystal.

This model is mounted on a semi-matte black leather strap characterised by a soft texture and a resolutely vintage finish.
