Catalogue Essay
A great collaboration between Longines and Hodinkee, yielding a subtle and highly wearable modern watch that draws inspiration from Longines Chronometers of the past. I especially love the two-tone finish of the dial and the well-made bracelet. - Mark Cho

- Drawing from the strong legacy of Longines, the present Heritage Classic Limited Edition for HODINKEE is a beautiful reinterpretation of the manufacturer’s chronometers built in the last century, designed with a contemporary twang that will appeal to modern collectors. Fusing classical proportions and design, this exciting collaboration resulted in a sublime two-tone cream dial with a brush-finished chapter ring. The iconic crosshair division on its predecessors has been removed, which further elevates the present model with a cleaner aesthetic that draws one in.
- Unlike its predecessors, painted strokes of black are used as the hour and minutes markers instead of numeral indexes, creating a pleasant contrast to the overall complexation of the dial which heightens legibility.
- The engine-turned small seconds at six o’clock not only adds depth and shade, but also sets it apart from the rest of the dial. Likewise, the blued hands brings a dash of colour and contrast, and the beads-of-rice bracelet wears comfortably on the wrist.
- Fitted in a 38.5mm case, the exterior of the watch is complete with its stepped bezel and tapered lugs, resulting in a staggering wrist presence, despite its modest size.
- Each piece marked with its own individual number, the Longines Heritage Classic Limited Edition for HODINKEE is a limited edition of 500 pieces only, specially designed to cater to the needs of today’s enthusiasts. Suited to be worn both on formal occasions or casual settings, the present “new-old-stock" example is numbered 401 and is accompanied by its original accessories, further certified by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres).
