The Dress Watch
So far in this series, we've mainly focused on watches which have a need for durability, reliability and toughness, featuring rotating bezels, water resistance, shock resistance and overall increased strength. However, the dress watch doesn't focus on these traits. The dress watch is designed to be slim and direct with it's delivery of telling the time. They must compliment an evening outfit as much as telling the time.

In fact, historically, watches shouldn't even be worn if in a formal area, once upon a time, this would have been regarded as being rude, as the wearer shouldn't have a care what the time is and just purely be in the moment. In a modern world, we understand that may be unrealistic which is why our suggestion looks to strike a balance between being accurate to the DNA of a dress watch as well as fulfilling modern expectations...

The Longines Flagship Heritage - what it does
As talked about here, Longines is one of a few companies who still have a huge historical archive of all watches to ever leave their factory with the Longines branding. This means they are masters at creating watches which accurately represent models from their past.

Over the years the Flagship collection from Longines has worn many hats, with plenty of variation, however, the Flagship Heritage embodies everything the range has offered over its existence.

"The Heritage models are a tribute to the pioneering spirit that has inspired Longines designers since the company’s early days."

This stylish classic watch comes in with a 38.5mm width, a thickness just over 10mm and a lug to lug of 46mm. If you're aware of the original Flagship models then this case will be very familiar to you, as the design itself remains practically unchanged.

A 10mm thickness makes it ideal for sliding under shirt cuffs and thick jumpers alike. It's also massively complimented by the long heavy chamfered lugs which abruptly appear from the rounded case.

The main talking point of the watch is the dial, which is emphasised even more so with the very thin subtly chamfered bezel. This is almost invisible to the wearer on the wrist because of the dominant, warm dial. However it's purpose is clear, to draw as much attention to the dial as possible. The dial itself is a lovely silver/cream colour. Thin, sharp distinctive gold coloured indices feature on the Flagship which effectively conveys the watches dressy purpose.
