Built with quality in mind, the women’s watch boasts a sturdy construction that is made of high grade stainless steel to ensure its longevity. Its sleek rectangle case that measures 22.4 mm × 26.85 mm is paired with a scratch resistant sapphire crystal to makes it even more durable. The bright White dial is sharp and easy to read thanks to its smart minimalist layout and the sapphire’s glare proofing. Furthermore, its whole construction is 30 m water resistant for practical sake.
The DolceVita collection by Swiss watchmaker Longines melds the neat, trim lines of the 1930s with the glamorous 1950s in a stylish timepiece expressing enjoyment of life in the finest Italian spirit, with its inspired refinement and unique way with style.
On the dial, there are silver tone hands that points to the appealing applied silver tone tear drop hour markers, along with small second sub dial at six. Of course, you can also be sure the "SWISS MADE" denoted at its dial is not just for a show. For a precise timekeeping, this Longines L5.502.4.16.6 houses the reliable calibre L176, a Swiss made battery powered quartz 15 jewels movement that offers a pleasing accuracy, and features EOL indicator. This caliber L176 is built based on the ETA 980.163, and all of its setting and adjustment can be conveniently done via the logoed pull push crown at the right hand side.
For all of its quality offerings, this gorgeous steel on steel Switzerland made entry-level luxury watch is sensibly priced with a suggested retail price of $1,200.
