Spirit 40

★★★★☆Editorial rating 4.3/540 mm

The Spirit 40 by Longines stays deliberately understated and therefore long-lived in design. The 40 mm stainless steel case houses the Longines L888.4 calibre (automatic, approx. 72 hr power reserve). Sapphire crystal and 100 m water resistance put the watch into practical context; it is worn on a leather strap in everyday life and at the office. Restraint that radiates competence.
