Longines Flagship 35.6 Day Date Stainless Steel L4.799.4.57.6

The Flagship goes back to 1957, and since then every model has carried an 18-carat gold medallion on the case back showing a caravel, the line's emblem, under full sail on a blue enamel sea. This steel case sits under a sapphire crystal and takes an 18 mm strap.

Its partner in the same size is the two-tone Flagship 35.6 Day Date (L4.799.3.32.7) with a champagne dial. Without the day and date, the Flagship 35.6 Automatic in steel with a black dial is the L4.774.4.52.2, and the Black Diamond version is the L4.774.4.57.6. Black dials in steel also appear on the much smaller quartz Flagships, the 20.3 mm Flagship 20 (L4.215.4.52.6) and the 25 mm Flagship 25 (L4.216.4.52.6).
