Longines - Heritage 1969

Longines Heritage 1969 . With its cushion-shaped case and box-form crystal, the Longines Heritage 1969 is very much in line with the essence of the original model which is displayed at the Longines Museum in Saint-Imier. The Longines Heritage 1969 (ref. L2.310.4.72.0/3) has a retail price of Euro 1,720 / US$ 2,050.
For a brand with a long and glorious history like Longines, it is normal to seek inspiration in successful timepieces of the past.

A tribute to its long watchmaking tradition, the Heritage line is now enriched by a new reissue which draws its inspiration from a wristwatch created in the late 1960s.



With its cushion-shaped case and box-form crystal, the Longines Heritage 1969 is very much in line with the essence of the original model which is displayed at the Longines Museum in Saint-Imier.

The original 1969 model


For this reissue, Longines opted for a steel case with an elegant 36 x 36 mm size suitable for the wrists of both men and women. Water resistance is 30 metres / 100 feet.


The brushed silvery dial is completed by rose-coloured hands and indexes which contribute to the distinctiveness of the watch.

As it was on the original model, the date aperture is positioned at 4:30.


The Heritage 1969 is powered by the L888.2 self-winding movement (base ETA A31.L01) beating at 25,200 vibrations per hour and offering 64 hours of power reserve.

Matched to a black alligator-skin strap, the Longines Heritage 1969 (ref. L2.310.4.72.0/3) has a retail price of Euro 1,720 / US$ 2,050. longines.com

  1. Nice watch but I would prefer it without a date window or at least in a better position

  2. Longines continues to provide an oasis of value for money in the desert of Swiss mechanical watch brands. Bravo!

  3. I understand they intended a true-to-the-original re-issue, but just for the sake of comparison, I've photoshopped the date windows to the 3 and 6 o'clock position:

    1. The best one is for sure the third version. Well done! But is the date window really needed?

    2. I think the symmetric #3 would be my favorite, too (although the date on #2 would be easier to read due to the larger numerals; a date at 6 o'clock would need to be somewhat narrower - unless one would go to the same lengths as Nomos does with their great date windows).

      But you're right, the watch doesn't really need a date to look good. But watches without a date must sell poorly or manufacturers wouldn't try to fit one onto every dial. As long as it's flawlessly executed, I'm mainly fine with that, but too often, it's not.
