Flagship Classic 40mm Watch

Where Radiant Elegance Meets Mechanical Mastery

Exemplifying Longines’ unwavering commitment to grace and precision, the Elegant Collection reference L4.984.4.97.6 blends Swiss mechanical excellence with understated luxury. Housed in a perfectly proportioned 40.00 mm stainless steel case—just 8.7 mm thick—this timepiece offers a sleek, modern silhouette that drapes effortlessly on the wrist, suitable for both refined occasions and everyday sophistication.

At the heart of its allure is a captivating sunray blue dial, whose dynamic finish shifts subtly with the light, evoking the depth of twilight. Adorning the dial are 13 exquisite diamond hour markers (clarity VS–SI, total weight 0.059 carats), meticulously set to enhance legibility while adding a whisper of brilliance. Contrasting with refined harmony are silvered, polished feuille hands, gliding smoothly over the dial with timeless elegance. A practical date aperture at 3 o’clock ensures everyday functionality without compromising the dial’s balanced aesthetics.

Powering this horological jewel is the advanced automatic Calibre L888, a high-performance movement developed exclusively for Longines. Beating at 25,200 vibrations per hour and featuring a monocrystalline silicon balance spring for superior anti-magnetism and accuracy, it delivers an impressive 72-hour power reserve. The exhibition sapphire crystal case back reveals the finely finished movement—complete with Côtes de Genève decoration and an engraved rotor—celebrating the craftsmanship within.

The watch is mounted on a three-row stainless steel bracelet, designed for fluidity and comfort, and secured by a triple safety folding clasp with push-piece opening mechanism—ensuring both security and ease of wear. Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the underside, the dial remains pristine and clear from every angle. With 3 bar (30 meters) water resistance, it offers practical resilience for daily life.
