Longines Heritage Heritage Retrograde Black

About this watch

The Longines Heritage Retrograde Black (L4.797.4.51.2) is a timeless piece that combines functionality with elegance. It's more than just a timekeeper; it's a piece of art that tells a story with every tick. At the heart of this watch lies the Longines caliber L698.2—a self-winding mechanical movement that operates at an impressive 28,800 vibrations per hour. This movement offers not just reliability but also power, with a reserve of 46 hours. The design of the Heritage Retrograde Black is nothing short of stunning, crafted from high-quality stainless steel and featuring a deep, rich black dial with Roman numeral indexes and Feuille hands that glide smoothly across the surface. One of the standout features of this watch is its sapphire crystal glass, scratch-resistant and highly durable, protecting the dial from everyday wear and tear. With a water resistance of 30 meters, the Heritage Retrograde Black can handle splashes and brief immersions.
