the same L686 movement used in its sister model in the Longines Admiral line
The impressive case (diameter 44 mm) is fitted with the same L686 movement used in its sister model in the Longines Admiral line. The case features a double tachymeter on the bezel. Graduated in kph as well as MPH, it can be used for measuring ground-speeds of up to Mach 2. The dial in a choice of black, dark brown or white with a silver sun pattern and featuring a large 12 brings a sporty touch as well as elegance to the model.

The latest addition to the GrandeVitesse line is available on a steel bracelet with a triple folding safety clasp or a black or dark brown leather strap lined with alcantara and fitted with a folding clasp.
