Case:
This watch showcases a 24mm polished stainless steel case in a 5mm ultra thin design. The watch has a signed crown and a signed solid case back, the dial is protected with a scratch resistant Sapphire Crystal to finish this lovely case.
Dial:
The dial is a made with genuine, natural white Mother-of-Pearl (MOP). Because this dial is crafted from organic shell, it reflects light with an exquisite, unique pearlescent iridescence. Under varying lighting conditions, the dial shifts beautifully through subtle, soft hues of pink, silver, blue, and green. The watch features 12 factory-set, genuine brilliant-cut diamonds acting as the hour markers. Longines strictly utilizes high-grade, conflict-free Top Wesselton diamonds (VS-SI clarity) for this premium configuration, ensuring a magnificent, eye-catching sparkle against the pearlescent background. Designed with a striking, minimalist aesthetic, the dial features crisp, ultra-thin black baton hands (hours and minutes). It stays true to the elegant La Grande Classique heritage by discarding a seconds hand or date window, allowing the diamonds and the iridescent Mother-of-Pearl to remain the central focus. Crisp, pristine black printing displays the iconic "Longines" name and the legendary winged hourglass emblem at 12 o'clock, with "Swiss Made" subtly integrated at the very bottom edge of the 6 o'clock position.
Movement:
The watch is powered by an authentic Swiss-Made Longines Calibre L209 (Highly reliable, premium horological base platform: ETA E03.001). This is a high-precision Swiss electronic quartz. The movement houses 6 genuine synthetic ruby functional jewels within the gear train to minimize mechanical friction, vastly outperforming cheap, un-jewelled standard quartz modules in terms of longevity and component durability.
