Introducing the Longines Record Heritage

Longines in no newcomer to the world of Swiss watchmaking. Indeed, the Saint-Imier, Switzerland based brand is celebrating its 190th year. As is often the case, with age comes wisdom, grace and an eye to the past. The past few years have seen Longines focusing more and more on vintage influence, oftentimes returning to their own archives for inspiration and reference.

With the introduction of the Record Heritage, Longines has added a new complication to its COSC-certified series of classic, dressy timepieces: an automatic chronograph. With a 40mm stainless steel case and exhibition caseback, the Record Heritage sits squarely within the dimensions of a modern watch. At 13.8mm thick with elegantly tapered lugs, it is likely to create a strong yet refined presence on the wrist. But while its classic yet modern proportions are likely to be a crowdpleaser, the real showstopper of the watch is undoubtedly the dial.
