Longines GrandeVitesse

GrandeVitesse, French for "great speed," is Longines' motorsport-flavored collection, a nod to the brand's long history timing races. The styling leans retro-sporty, with clean dials and a racing sensibility, drawing on Longines' genuine credentials as a timekeeper of speed events going back over a century. It was always a smaller, more niche line, and Longines has since discontinued it, so you'll only find it pre-owned today. It's a bit of a deep cut, but for someone who likes the motorsport connection and wants a Longines that isn't on every other wrist, it's a rewarding one to track down.
