Swiss watches are reputed the world over for their quality, advanced features and their ability to perform under adverse conditions. Their accuracy, reliability and precision to tell correct time make them so popular across the globe. And all these features are beautifully reflected in Longines Watches. Established in the year 1832, they are manufacturing excellent timepieces even now. So many years of exposure have made them better and have not diminished their performance level even one bit. They are responsible for introducing the concept of using electric wire in their timepieces so that one can calculate the exact timing of any sports event. This concept created a flurry in the world of sports and Longines became the official time keeper of numerous sports events across the globe. Besides their association with different sporting events, Longines Watches also launched numerous other collections. Of these collections two of them are very sought after namely: ?Longines Dolce Vita collection ?Longines 120th anniversary Retrograde watch The Longines Dolce Vita collection is created for their women clientele base who loves to sport elegant timepieces. They are available in black dials, white, pink and many other colours. Made from stainless steel the watch cases are generally scratch proof although one can opt for gold cases. And they come with numerous diamonds encrusted on the dial. Whereas the 120th anniversary Retrograde timepiece from the house of Longines Watches is a part of their hundred and twenty years of celebration as is evident from their name. And the best part is they are available in only 120 numbers and not more. This Retrograde timepiece has many features similar to and seems to be inspired by their L2 series of timepieces. The dial and the case have the same layout and design but then there are certain evident differences as well. While the retrograde watch has roman numerals on a smooth dial the L2 series of timepieces have a barleycorn pattern on the dial with Arabic numerals. And the much evident winged hourglass – which is the Longines trademark, has found its place in the back of the case rather than on the dial. The retrograde timepiece of from the house of Longines Watches makes use of an automatic movement that has 28,800 vph frequencies and a power reserve of 46 hours. The dial is highlighted with 3 retrograde hands, each of which indicates three different things such as day, date and hour-second time zone. Sized at 44 meters, the dial also displays minutes, hours and power reserve features at an angle of 6 o’clock. The watch comes in a rose gold finish case along with a sapphire crystal that is scratch resistant. The dial is supported by an alligator strap and is water resistant up to 30 meters under water.
