The Longines Heritage Military 1938 echoes the sober aesthetic that characterised the military-inspired timepieces produced by Longines in the 1930s. Perfect legibility and maximum reliability were indispensable elements for these watches that sometimes had to cope with extreme conditions. The Longines Heritage Military 1938 comes in three variants, a three-hand, a GMT and a chronograph. The knurled, flat crown, a reference to the original, fits perfectly into the steel case. The black synthetic strap features white stitching that underlines the richly contrasting aesthetics of these watches. The large white Arabic numerals and chapter ring, guaranteeing excellent legibility, provide a beautiful contrast to the black dial. The Super-LumiNova on the hands and numerals ensures optimal legibility even in twilight. The Longines Heritage Military 1938 is offered in three steel variants. The sober three-hand model has a 40 mm diameter case and its design is the most faithful to the original model. The 24-hour model, with a diameter of 42 mm, catches the eye because of the bright red second time-zone hand that stands out against the black dial. The 24-hour graduated scale is positioned on the flange outside the chemin de fer chapter ring, and the date is visible at 3 o'clock. Keeping the same aesthetic line, the chronograph features a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock, the date at 6 o'clock and the small seconds at 9 o'clock. With these three variants, The Longines Heritage Military 1938 enriches Longines' Heritage segment with classy timepieces whose aesthetics pay tribute to the brand's long tradition and rich heritage.
