TIMES FOUR<br />

An exceptional model in e Longines Saint-Imier Collection<br />

is the Longines Retrograde Moon Phases with<br />

four retrograde displays. e day of the week is shown at<br />

12 o’clock, the date on the right side of the dial, the seconds<br />

at the bottom and the second time zone to the le in<br />

a 24-hour format. ere is also a day/night display at the<br />

top of the dial for the central time and a moon-phase<br />

indication at the bottom. Despite the high concentration<br />

of information, it is presented in a balanced, symmetrical<br />

and easy-to-read arrangement, with some scales placed<br />

on the outer edge beyond the hour markers. From a technical<br />

point of view, retrograde displays are seen as complications,<br />

so the technical renements required to show<br />

this many are impressive. e multi-function watch is<br />

powered by the automatic movement L707, which was<br />

developed for Longines by ETA and is visible through the<br />

sapphire caseback. Recessed correction pushers for the<br />

dierent functions are provided in the 44-mm steel case.<br />

e model is available with a black or silvered dial and an<br />

alligator strap. <br />
