The introduction of the new Longines Heritage Collection has been well-received, albeit controversial, among some enthusiasts who are against any fake patina.https://www.ablogtowatch.com/longines-heritage-military-wrist-watch/Longines Heritage Military 1938, is a recent introduction to Longines' Heritage range. The modern interpretation is based on a vintage Longines watch that was produced before WWI and later WWII.https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-longines-heritage-military-1938The design of the watch includes the hallmark design elements typically associated with WWI and II watches the typical sub-seconds at 6 o’clock and large, legible numerals against the dial.This watch includes all these elements but has been transformed into a gold refined dial that reflects civilian (non-military) usage, however, the DNA of the original military watch is preserved.
