Longines has launched a special edition of its FLAGSHIP HERITAGE moonphase model. Launched in the late 1950s, the Flagship was one of Longines’ very first collections, known for its timeless elegance, simplicity and exceptional precision.

In celebration of the Year of the Dragon, Longines has engraved the dragon emblem on the case back of a Flagship Heritage model featuring a moonphase function. Renowned Chinese artist Zinan Lam was invited to create the special design, which features an auspicious dragon with its head raised and soaring upwards, intricately engraved on the case back.

This is the first Asian Zodiac timepiece ever to be launched by Longines, in a limited edition of 888 pieces.

It is available in a limited edition of 888 pieces. With an understated, timeless design, the steel case with a screw-down back measures 38.5 mm in diameter, exquisite and moderate in size and details. The distinctive domed dial, features a red gradient – symbolising vitality – for the first time. The dial is further enhanced by eleven applied gilt hour makers, elongated at 3, 9 and 12 o'clock. The engraved dragon screw-down case back is highly refined. This deeply etched execution illustrates the auspicious dragon with its head raised and soaring upwards in extraordinary detail and exquisite quality.
