The Longines Equestrian L6.129.4.57.0 has a quartz movement. As such, it has an End of Life (EOL) indicator that tells you when the battery is almost exhausted and needs replacing. This is the most common watch movement used today, hence, fixing or replacing parts will not be difficult, unlike other movements. This watch is made for ladies and sports a round shape. The dial or face of the watch that carries the hands, marks, and indicators is coloured black. The glass is sapphire glass, which is slightly less hard than diamond, but still scratch-resistant while remaining transparent. The case diameter is 24mm and it is waterproof up to 30m. The bezel material is made from steel. The bracelet is made of leather and is coloured black. A buckle serves as its clasp while the buckle material itself is steel. Since the movement is quartz, it does not need a calibre or power reserve.
Everyone loves a good dress watch, and anyone who knows anything about the subject will tell you that Longines watches are not just good; they are the epitome of class and sophistication. They have the historical antecedent to back it up. From humble beginnings in St. Imier, Longines has built a global brand that is fiercely committed to quality, paying great attention to detail, and ensuring that every watch, every collection, every variant, is a unique masterpiece.

But none has ever and will ever match its quality and promise. How many watches can claim association with most of the rugged and exciting equestrian competitions the world over? This is a watch ahead of its time. It is made with precision, respect for tradition, and the best quality. Since 1878, the Longines Equestrian has lived up to the challenge. Will you match it?
