Incoming!

I've waited 8 months for this one! Longines Heritage 1945.

Brilliant! And kudos to Longines for leaving the date off the dial!
I actually had no idea of this model. Will have to do some research.
Congratulations! Looks like it was worth the wait.

It was. It has a domed sapphire crystal to mimic the acrylic of the original, and a convex dial with painted numerals and blued steel hands. It is casual on the nubuck strap but one could dress it up with alligator. I have ordered a blue shell cordovan strap as I think it will work for both work and play.

A "Heritage" that mimics a vintage with perfection.

Congrats on the selection

Very nice! I'm glad they didn't ruin it with a date like they do with most of their other watches.
