Longines Flagship Heritage, 38.50mm - L47954580

The quintessence of classicism in watchmaking.
Today, Longines combines the original aesthetics of its most significant historical models with cutting-edge watchmaking technology. The Heritage models pay tribute to the pioneering spirit that has inspired Longines watchmakers since the company's early days. The brand's products have accompanied countless pioneers in their adventures in the air, on land, and under the sea. The very essence of Longines timepieces is found in this expertise. They demonstrate the continuity of a brand and its enduring ability to honor history with refinement and elegance. Among the exceptional pieces in the Heritage line, the most famous is undoubtedly the Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch, a re-issue of the timepiece developed for American pilot Charles Lindbergh in 1931. The Longines Weems Second-Setting Watch, a tribute to Captain Philip van Horn Weems's navigation system, and the Longines Twenty-Four Hours, a re-issue of a watch specially developed in the 1950s for Swissair pilots, also rank among the most emblematic Heritage models.
