Longines’ long history has seen the birth of many mythical models worn through the ages. The brand regularly draws inspiration from them to enrich its Héritage line. Today, it presents a 1918 model in shades of honey, aimed at both men and women, whose period design and refinement will delight lovers of the brand.
As a tribute to its long watchmaking tradition, the Swiss brand Longines likes to reissue some of the iconic timepieces that have contributed to its influence throughout its existence. This 1918 model draws its inspiration from the rich history of the winged hourglass brand, and echoes the first wrist chronographs created by Longines. Like the latter, this timepiece features a dial found on pocket watches of the period. Its vintage aesthetic and refined execution will appeal to both women and men who love fine watchmaking.
Distinctive blued steel and honey-varnished hands mark the hours and minutes on the polished lacquered white dial of this reissue, while the small seconds at 6 o’clock contrast with the blue color specific to Longines. The honey hue is also found on the dial’s large painted numerals, lending a particularly successful balance to this timepiece with its emblematic early twentieth-century design.
This refined model is available in two sizes to suit both men’s and women’s wrists. With a diameter of 38.5 or 41 mm, it houses the L615 self-winding mechanical caliber. A shimmering variation of the ladies’ version features a row of sparkling diamonds, enhancing the sophistication of this timelessly elegant timepiece. To complete the ensemble, a honey-colored alligator strap harmoniously matches the dominant color of the dial.
