While it’s certainly true that Longines continues to produce watches with modern sensibilities, they’ve leaned into vintage reproductions of historical models more than most. As a brand with an extensive, often criminally overlooked history, this has proven to be a great strategy as modern watches with vintage style continue to be in demand. The playbook, at a glance, seems relatively simple: interpret classic (or long forgotten but still great) watches from the vault with modern materials, changing as little as possible. The new Longines Heritage Military 1938 is a prime example of this strategy at work.
