More than just a fashion versatile timepiece, this men’s Longines L5.655.4.71.6 DolceVita collection piece is also practical and reliable as well. Built with quality in mind, the watch boasts a sturdy construction that is made of high grade stainless steel to ensure its longevity. Its compact case that measures 26 × 31 mm is paired with a scratch resistant sapphire crystal to makes it even more durable, while the whole construction is 30 m water resistant.
The timepiece bright White dial is sharp and easy to read thanks to its neat minimalist layout and the sapphire glare proofing. On the dial, there are silver tone hands that points to a classy, Black printed Roman numeral hour markers, along with an attractive small second sub dial at six, and printed markers around the outer rim for easy reference.
Of course, you can also be sure that having a "SWISS MADE" denoted at its dial is not just for a show.
