GROWING DESIRES

So, which one of these will be your new obsession?

If there’s one watch series that embraces vintage-inspired models through and through, it’s got to be the Longines Heritage collection. Introduced in 2007, the latest version of the Longines Legend Diver, a watch that’s emblematic of the winged hourglass brand’s Heritage segment, is now available with dial-in splashes of blue or brown. This new personality provides the first diving watches designed by Longines, of which the history is filled with technical feats. Although the clean lines of the original are preserved, the box-shaped sapphire glass, two screw-in crowns, and a screw-down case back – enabling the watch to reach a robust of 300 meters of water resistance – have been updated, not to mention the automatic movement with a silicon spring-balance. The dial features squares and Arabic numerals enhanced with Super-LumiNova rectangles for optimum visibility.
