Longines Rose Gold Watches

Long live Longines! That's what you are bound to say; one peek at the Longines Admiral Chronograph and you are floored. The case, in stainless steel, measures 42mm and has an AR-coated sapphire crystal. It beats its competitors by being water resistant to 100 meters while some of the real cool and expensive ones can only go down to 30 meters. Movement is the automatic Longines calibre L705 (base Valgranges A07.231) with 27 jewels and a power reserve of 46 hours and that is good.

Longines is not really known for their luxurious approach on their timepieces but they are known for the functionality of their watches. This year 2009, it seems like they are doing the opposite as they present this new Longines 2009 Les Elegantes.We rarely see Longines with a luxurious or elegant timepiece but this year, it is very obvious that they are moving to the luxury side. This new Longines 2009 Les Elegantes is definitely one of their most elegant pieces and you can say that just by looking at it. This watch includes a case that is made of an 18 carat white gold material with etched pattern on its side. But aside from that, what makes this piece more luxurious and attractive is the diamond embellishments found on the case and bezel. This luxurious timepiece is also designed with a leaf shaped dial that is highlighted in classic white and is accented with black hour numbers and blued hour and minute hands. This watch is also matched with a satin finished strap making it comfortable to wear.Like most of the luxurious watches, this Longines 2009 Les Elegantes will be available in limited edition of only 20 pieces.
