About this watch

Band: Leather Clasp: Steel Pin Buckle (OEM) Glass: Sapphire crystal Water Resistant: 3 Bar (30 m) Some watches defy categorization. This Longines DolceVita from 2024 is one such watch from the 192-year-old maison. While it can be categorized as a dress watch without hesitation, it is not strictly a gents’ or ladies’ timepiece. Clearly inspired by the Art Deco movement, the rectangularly cased silver sector dial is gender-neutral and easy to style. Made from 316L stainless steel, the case measures 27 mm x 43 mm with a lug width of 19 mm and a thickness of just 10.1 mm, despite the watch housing at least 140 components in the calibre alone. While not appropriate for submersion, the watch is pressure-resistant to 3 bar (30 m), making it splash-proof. The silver dial is broken up visually into quadrants with a printed logo at 12 o'clock and a date aperture at 6 o'clock. Surrounding the cardinal Arabic numerals is a chemin de fer (railway) minute track. The watch is presented on an alligator leather strap with a matching stitch, securing to the wrist with a steel pin buckle (both OEM). Set behind the engraved steel caseback beats the Longines Calibre L592. It is based on the ETA A20.L11 ébauche, with the brand making several small but impactful changes. The first is swapping out a metal hairspring for a monocrystalline silicon balance spring offering better resistance to magnetic fields. The second is upping the power reserve to 45 hours with the same 4 Hz beat rate, and finally, finishing the ébauche with custom branding and Côtes de Genève. This Longines Dolce Vita has just been through our service centre, Watch Tech, and is covered by the balance of the manufacturer’s warranty. Box & papers. Circa 2024.
