On that occasion, I will have the chance to see with my own eyes the model that inspired the new <strong>Longines Heritage 1969<\/strong>, time-wise, this is the last classic timepiece that graces the <strong>Heritage<\/strong> collection (if we not consider the just released <strong>Heritage Military<\/strong>), a constant presence in our magazine. The <strong>Longines Heritage 1969<\/strong> is the modern re-edition of a similar model that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longines.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color:#0000FF;\"><strong>Longines<\/strong><\/span><\/a> launched in <strong>1969<\/strong> \u2013 hence the reference number \u2013 I haven\u2019t visited <strong>St.Imier<\/strong>\u2019s museum yet and I haven\u2019t even taken a quick look at the original reference on <strong>Google<\/strong>, but despite that, I can definitely feel \u00a0that this timepiece is the almost perfect re-edition of the original model.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Longines Heritage 1969 watch 3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/Longines_Heritage_1969_watch_3.JPG\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"Longines_Heritage_1969_watch_3\"><\/span>A few years ago, <strong>Longines<\/strong> started a process that involves bringing back to life its historic collections, this process is now in full swing and if you take a look at all the novelties that were launched in <strong>2016<\/strong>, it is pretty clear that the brand is aiming at creating collections that can please the taste of both their female and male clientele or, by anticipating a current trend, it is moving towards an overall size reduction of its timepieces.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Longines Heritage 1969 watch 8\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/Longines_Heritage_1969_watch_8.JPG\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"Longines_Heritage_1969_watch_8\">Both the <strong>2016<\/strong>\u2013<strong>released<\/strong> <strong>Longines Heritage 1918<\/strong> and the <strong>Longines RailRoad 888<\/strong> reinforce this new trend that is naturally associated to models that, from a technical point of view, aren\u2019t exactly complicated and that tend to be three-hands-timepieces. The <strong>Longines Heritage 1969<\/strong> comes with a <strong>cushion<\/strong>\u2013<strong>shaped<\/strong> case that represents an absolute novelty in the modern <strong>Longines<\/strong> collection. This is a single-block-case measuring <strong>36mm<\/strong> by <strong>36mm<\/strong> and crafted in <strong>stainless steel<\/strong>, the original model, on the other hand, featured two different versions; one sporting a <strong>gold-plated case<\/strong> and one entirely made of <strong>18-carat-gold<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Longines Heritage 1969 watch 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/Longines_Heritage_1969_watch_2.JPG\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"Longines_Heritage_1969_watch_2\">The <strong>dial<\/strong> is the quintessence of the term \u201c<em>vintage<\/em>\u201d; <strong>brushed silver<\/strong> with <strong>applied pink indices and pink hands<\/strong>. The indices feature a chamfer accentuated towards the middle of the dial and they are extremely thin, this is a type of design that takes the width of the dial to its max and makes it easier to read it by still sticking to the current size of the case.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Longines Heritage 1969 watch 7\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/Longines_Heritage_1969_watch_7.JPG\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"Longines_Heritage_1969_watch_7\">The designers inserted the <strong>date window at 4:30<\/strong>, a choice that watch brands consider a necessity \u2013 the date window actually featured on the original model too \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t fully convince me. The positioning of the date window between 4 o\u2019clock and 5 o\u2019clock is definitely the <strong>best option <\/strong>available and it is entirely in line with the spirit of this timepiece\u2019s predecessor.\u00a0From a visual point of view, this positioning tends not to break the dial\u2019s symmetry \u2013 something that typically occurs when you give up the index located at 3 o\u2019clock \u2013 nevertheless, I am always curious as to how this dial looked like if that window didn\u2019t exist altogether.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Longines Heritage 1969 watch 4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/Longines_Heritage_1969_watch_4.JPG\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"Longines_Heritage_1969_watch_4\">Moving to the \u201c<strong>box<\/strong>\u2013<strong>shaped<\/strong>\u201d sapphire crystal now: it suits perfectly well a timepiece with such a case. The <strong>edges<\/strong> are exceptionally <strong>curved<\/strong> while the <strong>central part<\/strong> is <strong>flat<\/strong>, this is the element that gives most of its vintage <em>look and feel<\/em> to the <strong>Longines Heritage 1969<\/strong>. The anti-scratch property is coupled with the typical style of <strong>plastic<\/strong>\u2013<strong>made<\/strong> or <strong>hesalite<\/strong>\u2013<strong>made<\/strong> glasses from the past, something that is quite obvious when you look at this timepiece from above and from a <strong>three<\/strong>\u2013<strong>quarter<\/strong> angle, a position where the edge forms an unusual distortion of the image and you can see the curved indices.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Longines Heritage 1969 watch 5\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/Longines_Heritage_1969_watch_5.JPG\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"Longines_Heritage_1969_watch_5\">The <strong>Longines Heritage 1969<\/strong> is equipped with caliber <strong>L888.2<\/strong> that guarantees up to <strong>64 hours of power reserve<\/strong> that <strong>ETA<\/strong> crafts in-house exclusively for the manufacturer with the winged hourglass as its logo. The watch retails at <strong>1,720<\/strong> <strong>euro<\/strong> and it is a compact mix between <strong>vintage flavor<\/strong> \u2013 good to note that this timepiece fits perfectly well even a generous wrist \u2013 that the brand expresses with\u00a0a disarming simplicity and quite naturally, and between <strong>not<\/strong>\u2013<strong>so<\/strong>\u2013<strong>common<\/strong> <strong>mechanical features<\/strong>. The <strong>64 hours of power reserve<\/strong> don\u2019t represent a random figure but they are rather the result of the constant development of current calibers, whose performance has been enhanced. If it is true that you purchase a timepiece with your heart \u2013 and you always purchase a <strong>Longines Heritage 1969<\/strong> with your heart \u2013 it is also true that, when you start using this watch on a daily basis, you will realize that there is nothing vintage about it and it is quite normal that it should be that way.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/p><div style=\"min-height: 10px;
