Q: Is this an original vintage Longines or a later Heritage model? A: This watch is a pre-owned Longines Heritage Column-Wheel Chronograph from 2015. It is a modern Heritage-era model inspired by classic Longines chronographs rather than a mid-century vintage original.
Q: What size is this watch and how does it wear on the wrist? A: The stainless steel case measures 40 mm across and is around 14 mm thick, giving it a balanced but slightly substantial wrist presence. It offers a classic chronograph look that suits buyers who want vintage-inspired styling with modern proportions.
Q: What movement does this watch use? A: It is powered by the automatic Longines calibre L688.2, a column-wheel chronograph movement with an approximate 54-hour power reserve. The movement can be admired through the transparent case back.
Q: What does column-wheel chronograph mean, and why is it desirable? A: A column-wheel chronograph uses a more refined control system for the stopwatch functions. It is widely appreciated by watch enthusiasts for its smoother pusher feel and more premium chronograph architecture.
Q: What functions are displayed on the dial? A: The black dial features central chronograph timing, a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock, running seconds at 9 o’clock, and a date display.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or daily water exposure? A: This model is rated to 30 metres of water resistance, so it is best treated as splash-resistant rather than suitable for swimming or showering. As with any chronograph, the pushers should not be used under water.
Q: Does it have a sapphire crystal and display back? A: Yes, this model is fitted with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a transparent case back, allowing you to view the chronograph movement inside.
Q: How should I care for the black alligator leather strap? A: Leather straps wear best when kept away from water, heavy perspiration, and prolonged direct heat. Let the strap dry naturally after wear, store the watch in a dry place, and expect normal ageing over time if the watch is worn regularly.
Q: What product information is included with this watch? A: This listing describes the watch as a full set and states that the original box is included. If you would like the exact contents of the included product information, it is worth confirming the full contents before purchase.
Q: What is the condition of this specific piece? A: This watch is listed in very good pre-owned condition. The case shows light scratches, the movement condition is described as very good with light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
