The Longines RailRoad is inspired by a model developed in the 1960s that was worn by railwaymen and fulfilled specific requirements in terms of aesthetics, quality and precision. The letters “RR” (for Rail Road) that were seen on the original dial can also be seen on the current dial. The complementary indication “280” that was seen on the original dial and referred to the timepiece’s calibre of movement, has been replaced by the inscription “888” on the reissued model – which is a nod to the movement that drives the new Longines Railroad.
