Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 15. Have you shown your appreciation yet? Throughout this week, iW and its Leading Watch Retailer network present a selection of timepieces and accessories ideal for the important men in your life.
Today’s pick comes from Manfredi Jewels in Greenwich, Conn.
The Longines Heritage Diver
As a nod to the past Longines reissued The Longines Heritage Diver. In a variant of two, the timepieces are based on models intended for divers in the 1970s. Featured here, the chronograph version of the timepiece includes a square stainless steel case. Powering the model, a caliber L651 self-winding mechanical chronograph movement beating at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Its functions include hours, minutes, small seconds and date, as well as a central 60 seconds hand and a 30 minute counter. Measuring 43 millimeters in diameter, the timepiece is water resistant to 30 bar due in part to its screwed down caseback, crown and bezel. Both versions of the timepiece feature a bidirectional rotating inner flange. The chronograph version showcases a black sun ray semi-gloss dial with applied indexes and luminous hands. Finishing the timepiece , a black rubber strap with a double security folding clasp and integrated diving extension.
