Longines Military 1938 (L2.788.4.53.0)

Had this for over 2 years now and has held up great. Altimeter works well as long as you adjust it to a known elevation. Elevation log is my favorite feature, perfect for alpine climbs or long trail runs. My only complaint would be the face gets scratched easily but that has happened to every watch I have so maybe it's me.

Longines Hydroconquest Chronograph Tachymeter Blue (L3.651.4.96.6)

I was very satisfied with the price and quality of this item. The weight of the watch was not heavy and yet will be durable. The face of the watch is large enough to make it easy to read. Would definitely recommend.

Longines Dolce Vita Blue Mother of Pearl Dial Stainless Steel Ladies Watch L51554926

Looks better than it does on the computer. I wish that I knew how to adjust the strap. I'll take it to a repair shop and see what can be done. I won't try it myself. But as far as it looks, it is really nice and it has a nice weight to it, not too lite. I'd give it 5 stars if the strap was simpler to adjust...

Longines has been since 2008 the Official Partner and Timekeeper of the Archery World Cup season. The tour started in May in Shanghai, China then visited Antalya, Turkey and Wroclaw, Poland. Athletes receive points for finishing in the top 32 at each event on the Archery World Cup circuit. At the fourth and last stage of the Archery World Cup in Medellin, Colombia, 32 elite athletes booked their invitations to the Mexico City 2015 Archery World Cup Final.

This sport represents the values that the brand cherishes - precision, tradition and elegance. To succeed, the athletes master bow and arrow through concentration, balance, accuracy, and skill. In Mexico City, the Official Watch of the event was a model from The Longines Master Collection. It features a silver-finished "barleycorn" patterned dial which makes an elegantly contrasting background to the moon-phase display.

To round up the Archery World Cup season, Longines presented the Longines Prize for Precision on Saturday 25, following the compound final. Female athlete Sara Lopez from Colombia and male athlete Mike Schloesser from the Netherlands were the most precise archers of the 2015 World Cup in the compound category. They have scored the most "10 rings" during the qualifications and the tournaments of the season. They each received a Longines Prize for Precision-trophy, a Longines watch and a cheque.

Longines continues its tradition as timekeeper for equestrian sports and unveils a new model to add to its Conquest collection, the Conquest 1/100th Horse Racing, a silver faced range of the Conquest 1/100th.

Longines, timekeeper for sporting performances since the end of the 19th Century, is launching a new line of watches that have been specially created for sports which require high precision timing. The Conquest 1/100th series responds to the needs of athletes, professionals and sports fans, besides many others, since it measures multiple intermediary times and has an intuitive analogue display that shows the time to
one hundredth of a second using a separate hand.

The Conquest 1/100th Horse Racing chronograph, which keeps time to one hundredth of a second, features a new unique quartz movement, the L440. This new model includes a microcontroller with a flash memory that allows the watch to be reset instantly and allows intermediary times to be recorded. With a diameter of 41 mm, this bright steel model has a silver face that displays hours, minutes, small seconds at 6 o'clock, the date and other
chronographic functions: a central seconds hand, a 30-minute stopwatch at 2 o'clock and a 12-hour stopwatch at 10 o'clock. The hand in red displays time to one hundredth of a second and is the watch's crowning glory at the centre. The model is also fitted with a
steel bracelet and a butterfly clasp.

Glasgow witnessed the Closing Ceremony of the XX Commonwealth Games on Sunday 3 August 2014. Mr. Charles Villoz, Vice President of Longines, attended this great show in the company of Glasgow 2014 Chairman Lord Smith of Kelvin. To honour the success of the event and the great collaboration, Lord Smith of Kelvin was presented with a Longines timekeeping bell by Mr. Villoz, created especially for the Games.

Longines has been the Official Timekeeper and Watch of Glasgow 2014, the XX Commonwealth Games, as well as the Presenting Partner of the Gymnastics competitions. Over a period of 11 days of competitions, the Swiss watch brand put its skilled expertise in the service of the largest sporting event ever held in Scotland. It provided more than 190 timekeepers and 122 tonnes of equipment to support Glasgow 2014.

The Official Watch of the Games was a chronograph in steel from the Conquest Classic collection, housing an exclusive mechanical column-wheel calibre. With a diameter of 41 mm, its black dial is set with one arabic numeral and 11 applied indices with Super-LumiNova®. It displays the hours and the minutes, a small second at 9, a 30-minute counter at 3, a 12-hour counter at 6 as well as the date at 4:30. Just as the entire Conquest Classic collection, this timepiece is water-resistant to 5 bar and its screw-down case back is fitted with a sapphire glass.

Longines' involvement in the Commonwealth Games dates back to 1962, when it was the Timekeeper of the event in Perth, Australia.

This year, the tournament, organized by Longines since 2010, was held at an exceptional venue, on the Champ de Mars, with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop.

After a week filled with emotional and thrilling moments for the 16 talented players under 13 years old coming from all over the world, the 2014 Longines Future Tennis Aces tournament went to a prefect close on Saturday, May 31st, with the victory of Federica Rossi (Italy) who defeated Daria Frayman (Russia).

The Longines Future Tennis Aces, organized by the Swiss watch brand for the fifth consecutive year, is supported by the FFT (French Federation of Tennis) and is in compliance with the French Open of Roland-Garros, of which Longines is Official Partner and Official Timekeeper. This year, the tournament was held for the first time on the Champ de Mars, in front of the Eiffel Tower.

Federica Rossi was presented with a trophy from the hands of Jean Gachassin, President of the FFT (French Federation of Tennis) - just like the winner of Roland-Garros next weekend - as well as a Longines watch. Both finalists received an annual bursary of 2000$ until their 16th birthday for their tennis equipment, and to top off their great achievement, participated in an exhibition match with the patron of the tournament Marion Bartoli and Nathalie Dechy, both former French professional tennis players.

Longines is Official Partner and Official Timekeeper of Roland-Garros since 2007.

We've heard conflicting opinions about the health of the watch industry in general during the show. Is it fair to say that there are no concerns at Longines and that you dominate your price segment?
Totally. We have some competitors, but they are confined to specific countries and regions. I don't know whether we will maintain this momentum or not, but among the Swiss brands I'm convinced that we still have a couple of good years in front of us.

You have a more or less 50/50 split between gents' and ladies' watches and more and more of them are mechanical. Is Longines unbeatable for mechanical ladies' watches?
We are able to produce ladies' watches at 25mm with self-winding mechanical movements. This still is the favourite size in our collection but fundamentally we always have pair watches in the collection. We have at least one each of gents and ladies' models, but usually it is two or three of each and this is a successful policy.

Some 80 percent of your production is now equipped with mechanical movements. Are you looking to increase this percentage even further?
I think we should push quartz a little bit more. We launched one new quartz chronograph here and I was very surprised by the sales figures for it at the show.

The economic situation in China remains an important concern for many watch brands. Although China is a big market for you, are you less affected by these concerns because of the price segment you operate in?
We are lucky that the buyers of our watches are putting them on their wrist rather than in their pockets. We have kept our position and we have made a very good start to the year there. It's nice to see that many people are becoming interested in classic design, because we have been doing this for years. We will stay in this segment and there will be no changes to this.

The limited-edition Heritage models are a good example of this. But there are only 60 of the gold versions and 600 for the stainless steel. This is just a drop in the ocean for Longines, surely?
I have to admit that I don't like limited editions myself. I think that if you do a limited edition you have to respect your commitment. The problem is that if I say 600 now, by this evening I could have orders for far more than this and I would have to do a lucky draw.

You have been in the industry for many years and Longines has survived the recent crises. Is that because you have stayed firmly in your price segment?
Yes, that is my mission and I respect my mission. We saw some competitor brands entering our price segment, which proved that the decisions we took were the right ones. It's a segmentation issue and quantity is in proportion to price. The Swatch Group also has very b brands from Longines down. I'm very confident because the way I measure my success is the volume I put into production and at the moment I have put about a year's worth of sales into production.

So this must give you some peace of mind for the year ahead?
No, not peace of mind - responsibility! Because once you put the watches into production they will come. We can afford to have some inventory but there is less risk in having an inventory of classic watches than there is with fashion watches.

What is your general outlook for 2014 then?
Let's just say I have put enough pieces into production to have a good year and the first three months of 2014 have been positive.

The cushion-shaped 40 mm case elegantly surrounds the dial, which is thoroughly vintage and true to the original model. 

The Longines Heritage 1973 houses calibre L688, a column-wheel chronograph movement developed and produced by ETA exclusively for Longines. 
 

The black dial of the Longines Heritage 1973 boasts a play of contrasts. Two silvered counters were included at 3 and 9 o'clock. The applied hour symbols are decorated with a fine black line and a dot of Super-LumiNova®. These are interposed and balanced out by a minute-circle, also of fine black lines. A blue tachometric scale surrounds the dial, adding a subtle touch of colour to the whole.

Longines will be launching a brand-new project: the Longines Future Ski Champions. This competition will take place in Val d'Isere from 12 to 14 December. Fourteen skiers under the age of 16 from 14 different countries will be competing against each other in a two-run giant slalom on the lower section of the official slope for the FIS World Cup. The conditions and the timing equipment will be the same as those for the official races. The prizes will be awarded in the presentation arena, just before the draw for the official competition on the following day. The champion for 2013 will win a Longines watch, a trophy and a cheque for USD 20,000 for its national skiing federation, intended to be invested in developing activities for young people. Longines ambassador of elegance and Norwegian skiing champion Aksel Lund Svindal will also be promoting this competition.
 This year, the Swiss watch brand will once again be presenting the Longines Rising Ski Stars prize to the two most successful young skiers, i.e. under 21 years of age for the girls and under 23 for the men, who take part in the FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup. At the end of the season the winners will each receive a Longines watch, a trophy and a cheque for CHF 20,000. The two initiatives reflect Longines' commitment to promoting sport among young people. The brand also organises the Longines Future Tennis Aces tournament during the French Open at Roland Garros. Moreover, at the Prix de Diane Longines the brand also holds the Prix Longines Future Racing Stars, a race for young jockeys organised in collaboration with international schools. A chronograph in the Conquest Classic line will be the official watch for the season. With a diameter of 41 mm, the steel case of this model houses the L688 exclusive column-wheel chronograph movement. The black dial features one Arab numeral and 11 hour symbols coated with Super-LumiNova®. This timepiece is water-resistant to 5 bars and has a transparent sapphire, screw-on back cover. 

Longines, the famous Swiss watch brand celebrating its 180th anniversary this year, is proud to have served on Sunday, 2 September for the second consecutive year as official timekeeper and title sponsor of the Longines Grosser Preis von Baden, the most important race in Germany. To round off this highlight of the "Grosse Woche", the brand awarded the „Longines Prize for Elegance" to the most elegant lady Ines Wallraff and presents „The Longines Saint-Imier Collection".

16,300 spectators were present at this much anticipated high level event with a prize money of 250,000 Euros.

Andrasch Starke convinced again and won this year's race on favorite Danedream, last year's winner of the Longines Grosser Preis von Baden and the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Second and third places went to Terence Hellier on Ovambo Queen and Adrie de Vries on Pastorius.

True to its slogan - Elegance is an attitude - the Swiss watch brand was looking together with hat designer Olivier Mauge and Baden Racing on Iffezheim's racetrack for the most elegant lady, honored by a jury with the "Longines Prize for Elegance" and a precious ladies watch of the new "The Longines Saint-Imier Collection". The prize went to Ines Wallraff who delighted the jury with her exceptional feather hat.

Also the numerous visitors on site had the opportunity to admire "The Longines Saint-Imier Collection", a series of exceptional timepieces equipped with mechanical movements. This collection is inspired by the origins of Longines' watchmaking tradition and the village of Saint-Imier, where Longines was founded in 1832. The shape of the case - inspired by a model dating from 1945 - is a common theme throughout the collection. With a diameter of 41 mm, the chronograph presented in Iffezheim is fitted with a column-wheel movement L688, developed and produced exclusively for Longines. Its case in steel displays a black dial.

As part of The Longines Sport Collection, the Conquest line has been given extra sparkle thanks to the scattering of diamonds. A first glittering model is set with 120 diamonds around the bezel while a second model combines the brilliance of these precious stones with the strength of ceramic. The dynamic beauty of the Ladies Diamond Conquest models, achieved through a marriage of sporty design and glittering diamonds, echoes the fine balance between performance and elegance that characterises the Conquest line. Sporty women who appreciate elegance will find exactly what they are looking for in the new Ladies Diamond Conquest.

The Conquest line is aimed at those women who enjoy sport but are not willing to compromise on elegance. Thanks to the use of diamonds and the innovative combination with ceramic, the new models in this line add a touch of sophistication to the sporty beauty of Longines' range of products. With its delicate balance, the Ladies Diamond Conquest watch is the ideal watch to weapon many sporting occasions; during an equestrian competition, a tennis tournament or while having fun on the ski slopes, but in the same vein it will add a touch of elegance worn for a cocktail party or a formal dinner.

Ladies Diamond Conquest is available in two versions.
The first has a bezel set with 120 Top Wesselton VVS diamonds, with a white mother-of-pearl or a black dial set with 11 diamonds as indices. This glittering timepiece with its sporty elegance is mounted on a stainless steel or a black or white ceramic bracelet. The second version boasts a dynamic beauty which has been achieved by the use of ceramic embellished with 54 Top Wesselton VVS diamonds set around the inside of the bezel and on the dial. The bezel and the bracelet are reinforced by the use of white or black ceramic while the matching dial - white mother-of-pearl or black - completes the appeal of this model. A special version is also available mounted on a steel bracelet. The Ladies Diamond Conquest line now includes thus eight new models.

As with all the models in the line, the Ladies Diamond Conquest has a screw-in back cover while the crown has a lateral protection. These new models are water-resistant to 5 bar and the bracelets have a folding safety clasp. The stainless steel case has a diameter of 35 mm and houses a quartz movement that shows the hours, minutes, seconds and date.

Thanks to their delicate balance between performance and elegance, these robust timepieces are ideal for women who enjoy sport but at the same time appreciate refinement. The Ladies Diamond Conquest models have added a new dimension to the Conquest line thanks to the inclusion of diamonds and the combination of these precious gems with the strength of ceramic.

 There will be a special aspect to the French Open Tennis Tournament in Roland Garros this year: Andre Agassi and Stefanie Graf will be present on 6 June to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their respective victories at this prestigious Parisian tournament. It is the ideal opportunity for Longines, the watchmaker for which they are Ambassadors of Elegance, to organise the event of the year around these two tennis legends and their charity foundations. Among other things the programme will include: 8 challenges between the two champions and budding stars from over ten different countries, a gala evening and a very special auction. The whole event will take place under the sign of elegance, the key characteristic of watches made by Longines, the Official Partner of Roland Garros since 2007.
