Longines Heritage 1935 is a modern reinterpretation of a military watch, with a solid design, a good quality and a very reasonable price. The case. Even if it has slightly grown from 40mm to 42mm, the shape is a perfect copy of the old version. Same cushion design, same angular lugs, same fluted bezel. Even the big, rugged crown is similar. Seeing one next to the other, the resemblance is obvious.
The matte black dial is also very close to the original design. The large white Arabic numbers (with a raised bold design), the old Longines’ inscription, the railroad minutes track around the dial and the small second sub-dial are all part of the vintage-inspired feeling of the Heritage 1935. Even the ‘cathedral’ hands and the small second hand with counterweight are coherent with the Czech pilot watch.
The other modernized update is of course the movement. Whereas the older one was powered by a pocket watch calibre, it seems difficult to integrate such a movement in a modern watch, especially for a mainstream brand such as Longines. For cost reasons and for the need of reliability, the Heritage 1935 comes with a robust ETA 2895-2, a self-winding movement that boasts 42hours of power reserve, a small seconds – and, unfortunately, a date function. Not that the date window is disgraceful or poorly integrated, but it has nothing to do with this watch, on an historical basis.
