Longines Heritage Silver Arrow: It was an era of speed, when racing cars and supersonic aircraft captured everyone’s imagination – this futuristic spirit was the original inspiration for the “Silver Arrow” collection. Today, Longines recreates this design through its Classic Replica collection, creating the Longines Heritage Silver Arrow watch, equipped with an exclusive automatic movement equipped with a silicon balance spring https://www.aomwatches.is/.
The name of the Longines Heritage Silver Arrow watch was first born in 1955. That year, Longines launched an internal call for the name of a new timepiece with an avant-garde design. In the end, “Silver Arrow” stood out among 450 proposals, and it also shared the same name as the legendary sports car that was popular at the time. In 1956, Longines launched the first Silver Arrow watch. At that time, each series under Longines had its own logo, and the logo of the Silver Arrow watch was a supersonic plane flying across the starry sky. Combining the two elements of the racing track and the orbit of celestial bodies, Longines has established an inseparable connection with the field of aviation.
The Longines Heritage Silver Arrow retains the iconic features of the original watch from the 1950s, combining elegance and unique shape, highlighting innovative watchmaking craftsmanship. The watch features a stainless steel case with a diameter of 38.50 mm, equipped with an automatic mechanical movement (L888.5), and a silicon balance spring to ensure accurate timekeeping while increasing anti-magnetic performance. The new watch retains the essence of the original watch, with a simple and elegant silver dial, paired with horizontal hour markers and sword-shaped hands, all coated with Super-LumiNova luminous coating. In addition, the dial does not have a date display or Automatic logo, paying tribute to the original while highlighting a low-key and simple atmosphere. The new watch uses a wear-resistant synthetic sapphire crystal with a multi-layer anti-reflective coating on the inside, and the screw-in case back is engraved with the "Silver Arrow" logo.
