- Is the Longines La Grande Classique a good first dress watch?
- Yes, if you want a thin, understated Swiss watch for formal wear. It is simple and reliable, but it offers no complications and little water resistance, so it works best as a second watch rather than an only one.
- Can I swim or shower with it?
- No. The 30 m rating covers splashes and hand washing only. Take it off for swimming, showering and bathing.
- Does it have a mechanical movement?
- No, this line uses a quartz movement. That keeps the case very thin and the timekeeping accurate, but it will not appeal to buyers who want an automatic.
- How does it compare with a Tissot or Raymond Weil dress watch?
- It is slimmer and carries a more prestigious Swiss name than most Tissot dress models, while Raymond Weil offers similar formality with different styling. The Longines leans hardest on thinness and brand recognition.
- What is in the box?
- The watch, a Longines presentation box and warranty paperwork. A strap or bracelet is fitted as shown; spare straps are not included.
- Is the sapphire crystal worth having on a dress watch?
- Yes. Sapphire resists the scratches that dull a dress watch crystal over years of desk and cuff wear, and it keeps the dial clear without a domed, fragile look.
- Where is the Longines La Grande Classique de Longines Black Diamond Dial Women's Watch cheapest?
- At Watchmaxx, for $1,175.00, as of our latest check.
