True to its name, this DolceVita Mini watch is compact and slim. Its rectangle case that is made of 316L surgical grade stainless steel measures 16 mm × 20.4 mm and 5.5 mm thick only. It has a solid caseback, and an octagonal pull push crown at the right hand side. Meanwhile, the 14 mm polished five-rows link bracelet that is made of the same material, comes equipped with a hidden deployment buckle clasp with push button safety.
Despite of being small, this watch offers a good read-ability, thanks to its dial’s neat layout, as well as the sapphire covering it that feature an anti-glare coating. On its attractive White Mother of Pearl dial, there are silver tone hands, pointing to the eleven diamond hour markers, along with the Heart diamond set at the 12 o’clock position. And speaking of the powerhouse, this timepiece houses the Longines calibre L963, a Swiss made battery powered quartz 5 jewels movement.
Design wise, Longines L5.158.4.94.6 DolceVita Mini is the kind of wrist accessory that goes easy with literally anything; from casual to formal attires alike. It is also practical, built with enduring materials, and pleasingly reliable with its precise timekeeping. Last but not least, its original manufacturer suggested retail price is $1,525, which is quite reasonable for such a timepiece.
