Launched in 2023, this year the MINI DOLCEVITA line is enriched with new models equipped with exclusive two-turn straps with a Longines design that comfortably wrap the wrist, available in soft black, gold beige, pink, red, orange or green nappa leather. With the emblematic rectangular case, with or without diamonds set, the new Mini DolceVita demonstrate once again that elegance is all in the details, even the smallest ones. For the launch of these watches, the hourglass brand presented an original campaign that celebrates its unique vision of time.
Double straps in soft leather
With its discreet profile, classic style and aesthetic variations that are as modern as they are timeless, the MiniDolceVita perfectly reflects the "discreet luxury" and elegance of Longines. This decidedly contemporary jewel watch is an extension of the Longines DolceVita family, itself inspired by a legendary timepiece created by the brand in 1927. This year, the Mini DolceVita adopts new double-loop leather straps with an exclusive Longines design, available in different sizes and colors, which comfortably wrap around the wrist. The holes in the straps are numbered by hot stamping from 1 to 6, just like the straps that connect the stirrups to the saddle, in homage to the equestrian world to which Longines has always been linked.
The new Mini DolceVitas, all with a rectangular stainless steel case measuring 21.50 mm x 29.00 mm water-resistant to 3 bar (30 metres), house a high-precision L178 quartz movement and are available in six versions as elegant as they are distinctive. Three versions feature a silvered rectangular Romain dial, on which the flinqué decoration stands out. The delicate printed geometric patterns create a guilloché-looking relief. To complete them, the painted Roman numerals and blued steel hands. The small seconds are placed inside a square auxiliary counter at 6 o'clock. These references are equipped with a two-turn strap in soft nappa in black and beige gold, with ivory or pink stitching. These latter two models are also embellished with 38 Top Wesselton diamonds.
Three further variants are available with a silver sunburst circular Cosmo dial. The matte white hour ring separates the outer square part from the inner circle. The matte white small seconds subdial is located at 6 o'clock. The hours, depicted by painted Roman numerals and elongated indexes, and blued steel hands create an eye-catching contrast with the light colors of the subdued dial. An expression of the collection's contemporary elegance, these models are complemented by red, orange or green nappa leather straps.
