Celebrating its 190th anniversary this year, Longines presents the first chronograph model in the Record collection. The Longines Record Heritage Chronograph has a stainless steel round case measuring 40 mm wide and just 13.80 mm thick.
The polished and slightly bevelled bezel encloses the slightly domed sapphire glass, covered with multiple layers of anti-reflective coating. The slim rectangular pushers enhance the vintage spirit of the Record Heritage chronograph.
The matt black dial hosts elegant golden Arabic numerals for the even hours, and slender overlaid indexes for the odd hours. It also features a seconds subdial, placed at 3 o’clock, and a 30- minute counter, placed at 9 o’clock.
The tachometer scale is positioned on the outside of the dial for better visibility. Equipped with a silicon balance spring, the exclusive Longines L895.4 self-winding chronograph movement is anti-magnetic.
This calibre is chronometer-certified by the COSC, thus guaranteeing precision and reliability. Provided a power reserve of 59 hours, this 37-jewel automatic movement is visible through the transparent case-back.
The new Longines Record Heritage chronograph is worn with a stainless steel bracelet or a brown leather strap with ecru stitching.
