Its compact round case that has 26 mm diameter has a thin profile that let it easily fits with any kind of shirt cuffs, while its whole construction is 30 m water resistant for practical sake. As one of Longines' timepieces, you can also be sure that more than a fashionable wrist flatter, this timepiece is also a reliable one in term of timekeeping. Inside, the low-end luxury watch employs a precise Swiss made battery powered quartz movement, the 9 jewels Longines calibre L152 that provide a pleasing accuracy at ±10 seconds of variation per month --which is slightly better than the average one that is around ±15s.
The bright White dial has a sparse minimalist layout that makes it easy to read while also looking good at once, and securely protected by a scratch resistant sapphire that holds a beautiful clarity. It features silver tone hands pointing to silver-tone markers, along with an easy to notice date at the three o’clock position.
This Longines Flagship L42164126 (L4.216.4.12.6) quartz women’s watch suggested retail price is $1,100.00, which is a reasonable one considering its quality offering. And just in case you’d like to wear it as a "couple watches", you might take a look at this gent’s version which pairs beautifully with this one for him.
