This beauty is a compact medium-size for men --which makes it a large size for ladies. Its polished round case that is made of gold plated stainless steel measures 33 mm in diameter and approximately 6 mm thick, meanwhile, its eye catching glossy Black bracelet that comes equipped with a logoed gold steel pin and buckle clasp is made of genuine leather, and it measures around 20 mm wide. Its case back is solid, a pressure fitted type, and at the right hand side, there is a gold steel pull and push crown.
Just like most of the La Grande Clasique watches, the face of this Longines L4.709.2.11.2 watch is simple. It is classic, with a bit of modern styling. Bright in White, the dial is shielded by a glare proofed scratch resistant sapphire, and features nothing but thin Black hour and minute hands that point to the slim painted Black Roman numeral hour markers. A pure minimalist.
Within its slim yet sturdy case, this entry level luxury timepiece houses the time tested Longines calibre L420, which is a fine Swiss made battery quartz 13 jewels movement that is built based on the ETA 282.001 caliber. This L420 that offers a pleasing accuracy is rugged, and rated capable to provides up to 3 years of battery life for each replacement. And last but not least, pricing, this gold steel on leather unisex wrist watch’s original manufacturer suggested retail price is $1,100.00, which is legit enough considering its quality offerings.
