Longines adds a sophisticated new dial colour to its heritage-influenced Spirit collection
When it comes to watch trends, the penchant for green dials looks set to stay for a while. It’s easy to see the appeal of the colour, which is both eye-catching and sophisticated in equal measure. And, as Longines’s latest release proves, looks just as good on vintage-influenced designs as it does on the most contemporary of timepieces.
The canvas is the watchmaker’s refined Spirit, a watch that draws its inspiration from the pioneering nature of famous figures that have undergone history-making adventures accompanied by a Longines on their wrist. If their timekeeping is good enough for ground-breaking aviator Amelia Earhart, you can rest assured you are in safe hands.
Its look blends modern and heritage touches, the sandblasted finish on the dial lending it an appealing sheen, paired with numerals in a beige SuperLuminova that gives it a slightly aged feel. Available in 40mm and 42mm case sizes, this classic three-hander with a date indication comes presented on a handsome brown leather strap, along with the option of a stainless-steel bracelet. Despite its traditional look, it comes equipped with Longines’s precision timekeeping in the form of the L888.4 calibre, which is COSC certified as a testament to its accuracy.
