Founded by Auguste Agassiz and his partners Henri Raiguel and Floria Morel in 1832, Longines began producing timepieces in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. Upon his retirement, Agassiz brought on his nephew, Ernest
Francillon, in 1852, who spearheaded the movement to purchase land for a factory and modernize production.  The factory was built in an area known for its long meadows (les longines), which the company eventually adopted as its name, Longines, in 1867.

The Longines Heritage Military Marine Nationale features a 38.5mm stainless steel case with a highly-domed sapphire crystal and a solid case back.  The cream-colored dial features painted Arabic numerals, a
minute track, and blued hands, with SuperLuminova-filled hour and minute hands.  Powered by an automatic ETA-based Caliber L888.5 movement, the
Heritage Military Marine Nationale has a 64-hour power reserve and a water resistance rating of 30 meters.

This Longines Heritage Military Marine Nationale Ref L2.833.4.93.2 includes the outer wood case, the international warranty card, the customer service booklet, and the original Longines brown calfskin
leather strap with stainless steel buckle.
