There is a more retro-inspired link blue variation link to this design that harkens back to the Steve McQueen days without losing its modern look and feel. Key things to link note on this one are the gradient blue finishes on the dial arches.
Cyrille Vigneron: We have defined three big territories. One are the iconic shapes, where we have gone through all the history link of those that sell in quite large numbers. We revisit the models one by one and we take them back from the past, or from their short period of time link in the present, and we try to redefine what can be the right shape now.

The different textures of the three dial link colors illustrate Longines' attention to detail with this collection. The anthracite dial has a granular finish that almost looks like a frosting in certain lights, providing a different texture link to the dial. It gives this dial a more modern vibe, but the rose link gold numerals and plated hands bring it back into the realm of dressy.
