Longines Flagship Heritage Moonphase L4.815.4.72.2

The Longines Flagship Heritage Moonphase L4.815.4.72.2 is a 38.5mm automatic watch in steel, with a silver sunray dial and a moonphase complication. It runs an automatic caliber with a silicon hairspring, 72 hours of power reserve, and a screwed case back featuring an enameled caravel medallion. Cazador has no verified price observations yet (n=0). Its standout detail: the case-back medallion reproduces, in gold and blue enamel, the caravel from Longines' historical logo, alongside the initials "EFCo" (Ernest Francillon & Compagnie).

History

Flagship is one of Longines' oldest collections in continuous production: it launched in the late 1950s as the brand's flagship dress watch, and that "flagship" status of the catalog is exactly where its name comes from. The caravel that appears in Longines' logo since 1889/1893 (registered as a trademark in Switzerland) and on this reference's case back is one of the oldest brand emblems still in use across Swiss watchmaking.

Within that collection, the Flagship Heritage line revives the proportions and design codes of mid-20th-century Flagship watches: a smaller case (38.5mm, versus the 40mm of other contemporary Flagship executions), a clean three-hand dial or, as in this reference, one with a moonphase complication.

The caliber it runs, with an anti-magnetic silicon hairspring and 72 hours of power reserve, derives from the ETA A31.L91 base that Longines had already used in the moonphase model of its Master Collection since 2019, adapted here to the more compact Flagship Heritage case.

This is the seventh Longines reference Cazador adds, extending coverage to the Flagship family, following the Spirit, Master Collection, Legend Diver, HydroConquest, and DolceVita lines already in the catalog.
