Inspiration behind the Longines Heritage Military Collection

In its unwavering commitment to honouring a legacy steeped in tradition, Longines has consistently striven to preserve its historical archives and the expertise of its watchmakers. This dedication to heritage forms the very essence of the esteemed winged-hourglass brand, leading to the expansion of its Heritage collection with the introduction of the Longines Military watch, a poignant tribute to a bygone era. 

Unveiled at the prestigious Baselworld fair, the exquisite Longines Military watch takes its inspiration from a vintage watch crafted for the gallant members of the British Royal Air Force (RAF) in the 1940s. 

The compelling narrative behind this creation centers around Stanley Turner, a highly decorated radio telegraph operator aboard an RAF aircraft during World War II, who proudly sported a similar model on his wrist. Remarkably, this historical artifact found its way back into the hands of Longines, courtesy of a passionate English collector, thus sparking the inspiration for the present-day recreation of the watch.

To replicate the authentic patina of the original timepiece, the dial undergoes a meticulous process involving hand spraying with minuscule black droplets, ensuring that each watch emerges as a visually unique masterpiece. 

Beyond its aesthetic allure, this remarkable creation boasts a curved and fully polished bezel, complemented by sapphire crystal, epitomising the fusion of classic design with contemporary sophistication.

The Longines Military Watch vintage stands as a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail.
