You’re looking into getting a nice swiss mechanical watch, an automatic, maybe even with a chronograph. You want something with heritage, something of quality, but you also don’t want to break the bank on your life savings, and you shouldn’t. Enter the Longines Hertiage Column Wheel Chronograph…
This specific reference number features rose gold dauphine hands that pop in the ever-disappearing shiny black dial, and has a hint of lume for when you need it. The sub dials, perfectly balanced, with only the 4:30 date window breaking up the symmetry.
The highly polished stainless steel case measuring 41mm in diameter or 49mm lug to lug, wears nicely on even smaller wrists due to its auspiciously curved lugs, and transitions nicely into the black alligator strap. All of which is covered by a domed sapphire crystal, and that’s just the front.
On the back you’re presented with more sapphire, an exhibition case back, a modest theatre to your ever ticking show, the Longines L688.2, a movement good enough to be used in several Omega Speedmasters.
The signature cutout rotor, like a peek behind the curtains, leading you to the stars of the show, the thermal blue column wheel, and the ever-rotating balance wheel.
The column wheel, typically only seen in watches many times the price, is not only great to look at but also extremely functional, granting the chronograph better precision and feel.
Sure, this movement may not be COSC certified but gains only 4 seconds a day, well within the Chronometer grade.

Sure this Longines may not be a Patek Philippe or and an A. Lange and Sohne, but it offers a great taste of Swiss watchmaking heritage at a price point that is nearly 30 times less. A proposition harder to turn down than free college tuition. You’re not only buying a great watch, but you’re joining nearly two centuries of horological history.
