The best Longines watches
Longines is the Swatch Group's classic, elegant brand, with a deep archive of pilot, dive and dress watches. Most of its automatics now run 72 hours with silicon hairsprings, and its service prices are among the lowest of any Swiss brand.
Its newer models come in several sizes, so most designs can be found to suit a smaller wrist.
