About Longines Evidenza Watches
When it comes to classic dress watches, the Longines Evidenza collection can hold its own with any brand. A tribute to the Art Deco stylings of the 1920s, these watches feature square cases and simple, elegant dials that compliment dressy outfits.
With a variety of sizes, dial colors, case materials, and strap options, you can find the Evidenza that best suits your taste and style. Every Evidenza is made with the quality you would expect from the brand.
Longines Evidenza History
The first Longines Evidenza was released in 2003 and paid tribute to the 1920s, a time of bold fashion. Longines watches of that period were a hit with flappers and their escorts alike.
The Evidenza pairs modern horological technology with classic Art Deco style. 2021 saw the release of a new style dial: a matte finish in the center with a sunray on the outside. This adds depth to its appearance and is enhanced by the blue ring that circles the crown. Today, the Longines Evidenza holds a place as one of the most striking and stylish dress watches on the market.

What's Unique About Longines Evidenza Watches?
Although there are other watches with a square-shaped case, the Longines Evidenza stands out with its outward-curved sides, creating a tonneau shape that harkens back to the sleek, elegant, but somewhat flashy styles of the 1920s.
The sunburst-style dials pop in the sunlight and display differing shades of the main color.
Those with a matte finish at the center, and the sunray around the outside add a 3D effect to the dial that makes these brilliant watches true attention-getters.
The Evidenza collection has a water resistance of up to 30 meters, so you don't have to sweat getting caught in the rain. Still, if you prefer a sportier yet elegant timepiece with more functionality, there are plenty of options within the Longines Spirit collection.
Around the lower edge of the crown is the distinctive blue band that signals this is an Evidenza, a truly special timepiece.
Longines Evidenza Movements
The Longines Evidenza is available in two different movements to suit your personal preference.
Longines Evidenza Automatic Movements
The automatic watches feature the Longines caliber L592 self-winding, mechanical movement. This reliable and accurate movement is based on the ETA 2000, has 22 jewels, and beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a power reserve of 45 hours. With a case thickness of just 8.7mm, it's a slim design that compliments its dress-watch looks and provides dependability and accuracy.
Longines Evidenza Quartz Movements
The Evidenza is also available with Longine's caliber L152 quartz movement. Based on the ETA 256.111, this nine-jewel movement boasts an accuracy of +/- five seconds per year. Battery life is three years.
Longines Evidenza Watch Colors
The Longines Evidenza is available in a variety of colors, from conservative to bold statement pieces. The collection is dominated by the signature silver "flinque" dial with different colors for the hands and Roman numeral indices.
If you are into bolder looks and more fun colors, the Longines Evidenza can be purchased with the silver dial with a brown, red, green, or blue alligator strap or stainless steel bracelet. Dials are also available in brown, red, green, or blue with a matching alligator strap or stainless steel bracelet. These dials sport painted Roman numerals with pink hands.
Longines Evidenza Watch Materials
Case materials for most of the Longines Evidenza are 316L stainless steel, the durable and beautiful standard in the watch industry. 18K pink gold is used for the case of that model.
Hands are also made from steel and blued or polished to silver or pink. Each Evidenza is fitted with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that has several layers of anti-reflective coating on the underside.
Bracelets are made from durable brushed stainless steel, while straps are stitched alligator leather. Both straps and bracelets are closed by a stainless steel triple-folding clasp.
Longines Evidenza Watch Complications
Each watch in the Longines Evidenza collection comes with a date complication at 6 o'clock. Four models have a subdial at six for the second hand. Quartz movement watches also have an end-of-life battery indicator.
Longines Evidenza Sizes
The Longines Evidenza is available in several stainless steel case sizes to suit different wrists. The smallest is the ladies' model with a case of 19.60 x 23.30 mm with a thickness of 6.70 mm. The lug width comes in at 10 mm.

Caring for Your Longines Evidenza Watch
A Longines Evidenza is more than a timekeeping device. It's a fashion statement and a work of art. If you properly service and care for it, your Evidenza will keep ticking and looking great for decades.
The balance wheel of your Evidenza is in constant oscillation and travels over 17 km per day. Over time, oils break down, and parts wear out. Longines recommends having your Evidenza serviced every 6-8 years. Some owners prefer to do it more often as an extra precaution.
Wiping down the case and crystal with a clean, soft cloth weekly will also help it last longer and look its best.
All servicing should be done by a qualified watchmaker. Exquisite Timepieces offers expert serving, cleaning, and repairs for your Longines Evidenza. Contact us by phone or email for a free estimate and a prepaid shipping label to send your watch to their Naples, FL location.
