This dressy watch 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 matching nine-rows link bracelet that is made of the same materials and comes equipped with a deployment buckle clasp measures around 20 mm wide. Its case back is solid, secured with screws, and at the right case’s hand side, there lays a gold steel pull and push crown.
Minimalist style is one of the La Grande Clasique watches signature, just exactly like what can been on this Longines L4.709.2.42.8 watch’s Champagne dial; simple, clean, and easy to read. The dial features nothing but thin Black hour and minute hands that point to the slim painted Black stick hour markers. And atop, it is covered by a glare proofed scratch resistant sapphire.
Within its slim yet sturdy case, this versatile luxury timepiece is fitted with the Longines calibre L420, which is a rugged and pleasingly accurate Swiss made battery quartz 13 jewels movement that is built based on the ETA 282.001 caliber. And speaking of the battery life, L420 is rated capable to provides up to 3 years of battery life for each replacement.
Last but not least, pricing, this gold steel on golden link bracelet unisex wrist watch’s original manufacturer suggested retail price is $1,300.00, which is reasonable enough considering its quality offerings.
