Swiss watch brand Longines exapands its Record collection by introducing new variations in rose gold or dual-toned (in stainless steel and rose gold). These timepiece are certified “chronometers” by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC).
The Longines Record collection features two separate and distinct sized automatic mechanical calibers equipped with silicon balance springs. This lightweight material is resistant to corrosion, and is unaffected by normal temperature variations, magnetic fields and atmospheric pressure.
Thanks to their extreme accuracy, the watches in the Record collection have been awarded “chronometer” certification by the COSC (Contrôle officiel suisse des chronomètres – Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute).
The watches of the Record collection are available in four sizes (26, 30, 38.5 and 40 mm) and a variety of dials, and are intended for men or women.
The stainless steel and rose gold or 18-carat rose gold case features a transparent back that allows for admiration of the detail of the movement.
Some models also offer a version inlaid with diamonds. The watch is available with a stainless steel bracelet with a rose gold cap, or with a black, brown or blue alligator strap matched to the dial and equipped with a security folding clasp.
