These new models celebrate the carefree spirit of the late 1940s. During wartime, people had little reason to celebrate and were unable to enjoy lavish parties. When the war came to an end, people were thrilled to once again adorn themselves with luxury accessories and attend luxury events, and venues such as jazz bars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\ntwo new Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo watches are inspired by historical\ntimepieces and have been designed with the aesthetic of the regained freedom of\nthe 1940s. The classic designed have been modernised to make them equally as fashionable\nfor today\u2019s watch collectors. However, to stay faithful to the vintage designs,\nLongines have chosen to omit the word \u2018automatic\u2019 and a date aperture from the\ndials. These new watches acquired the nickname \u2018Tuxedo\u2019 due to their black and\nwhite colour scheme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The New Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo Watches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/longines-heritage-classic-tuxedo-mens-swiss-automatic-l23304930-p-59636\/\">Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo | Men\u2019s | Swiss Automatic L23304930<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Longines-Tuxedo-1-553x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30049\" width=\"183\" height=\"337\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This\nmodel is the 3-hand version of the new Tuxedo watches. It features a popular\n1940s design with an opaline silver disc at the centre of the dial. This is\nsurrounded by a matte black circle that exhibits Arabic hour indices. The\npolished silver Superluminova hands ensure that the dial can be read in the dark.\nThis model features a small seconds counter in the 6 o\u2019clock position on the\ndial. The dial is protected by scratch resistant and antireflective sapphire\ncrystal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A\nstainless steel case frames the dial. It measures 38.5mm in diameter and\n11.65mm in thickness. The case houses an automatic L893 self-winding mechanical\nmovement. This movement beats at 25\u2019200 vibrations per hour, providing the watch\nwith a power reserve of up to 72 hours. The 3-hand version of the new Longines\nHeritage Classic Tuxedo is secured to the wrist using a black leather strap\nthat fastens with a buckle. This watch is splash resistant and should not be\nsubmerged in water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/longines-heritage-classic-chronograph-watch-l28304930-p-72619\/\">Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo Chronograph | Men\u2019s | Swiss Automatic L28304930<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Longines-Tuxedo-Chrono-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo\" class=\"wp-image-30091\" width=\"206\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Longines-Tuxedo-Chrono-2.jpeg 297w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Longines-Tuxedo-Chrono-2-177x300.jpeg 177w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Longines-Tuxedo-Chrono-2-120x203.jpeg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nchronograph edition of the Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo has a striking dial\nwith two sub dials.
