Witcher, Man of Steel, Cold War spy, Mission Impossible villain, and even a member of Henry VIII’s court. Henry Cavill’s range as an actor is vast, but what all his roles have in common is the sobriety and elegance of his performance.

 

An elegance and a serenity that even made him the James Bond celebrated by Hollywood audiences and fans, although he never officially stepped into the shoes of Agent 007 at the service of Her Majesty. Now Longines has announced him as its new ambassador.

 

“What draws me to Longines is their understated elegance. True quality doesn’t need to announce itself. It’s evident in every detail and in every action. This is a philosophy, backed by generations of precision craftsmanship and artistry, that resonates deeply with my own values,” said Cavill in an official statement.

Matthias Breschan, CEO of Longines, said: “In Henry, we recognize a real affinity with our brand’s values. His sophistication, genuine warmth and multifaceted personality reflect what elegance means today. Whether commanding the screen in epic productions or sharing his passions for aviation and equestrianism, he maintains an authenticity and grace that makes him a clear embodiment of the Longines spirit.”

Heritage and Master Collections

In his first official photos as Longines Ambassador, Cavill wears pieces from the Master Collection with silver and white dials. These watches represent the craftsmanship and contemporary elegance of Longines, with their classic design and meticulously crafted mechanical movements.

There is also a version of the Heritage collection, whose design recalls the first Longines watches: classic simplicity, precision and reliability. The Heritage collection is a tribute to the brand’s past.

 

Cavill’s model is the Flagship Heritage, with golden indexes, a silver dial and a moon-phase function. All the watches wore by Cavill come with a leather strap.
