LONGINES FLAGSHIP HERITAGE

-

To celebrate the 60th anniversar­y of its first Flagship collection, Longines has introduced the Flagship Heritage – 60th Anniversar­y 1957-2017. It’s inspired by a Flagship model kept in the Swiss watchmaker’s headquarte­rs, favoured by Longines’ Ambassador of Elegance, Kate Winslet. Available in steel, yellow gold or rose gold, these numbered and limited-edition models bear the distinctiv­e fleet commander’s caravelle flagship on the back, as did the original pieces.

Timeless looks – white dial, thin profile and fine fasteners – have been this range’s calling card over the decades.

Available in steel, yellow gold or rose gold, the numbered timepieces house an L609 mechanical calibre in their 38,5 mm case. Gold versions are limited to 60 examples and steel versions to 1957.
