A rectangular case, Roman numerals, a delicate jewellery-like effect: that is the Longines DolceVita. Our range includes classic DolceVita and Mini DolceVita women's watches, with quartz movements. With a shape like this, how it sits on the wrist really matters, so on the product page we also give the exact case size. As an official Longines dealer, every piece is genuine, delivered to your door with the manufacturer warranty, and our own service is there for battery changes.
What kind of watch is the Longines DolceVita?
The DolceVita is Longines' women's collection, whose trademark is the rectangular case. Its name comes from the Italian for "the sweet life", and its mood is the same: light, feminine, more jewellery than sports equipment. The pieces in our range have quartz movements, so you do not have to wind them, and they keep very accurate time.
DolceVita or Mini DolceVita?
- The Mini DolceVita has a smaller, narrower case, which is better proportioned on a slim wrist.
- The classic DolceVita offers a slightly larger surface and a more legible dial.
- With a leather strap the effect is more elegant, with a metal bracelet more everyday.
What to look out for with water resistance
Most DolceVita models are 3 ATM, a few 5 ATM. That means they cope with hand washing and rain, but should be taken off for swimming and showers. With a leather strap this is doubly true, because water wears the strap faster too.
Many people choose it as a gift, and in that case it is worth estimating the wrist size beforehand: the length of an older bracelet or watch is a good starting point. You can find the other women's and men's collections on the Longines brand page.

Questions about Longines DolceVita watches
What movement does the Longines DolceVita have?
The DolceVita watches we offer have quartz movements. This gives accurate timekeeping, and the battery only needs changing from time to time.
What determines the price of a Longines DolceVita?
Mainly the size and the material of the strap or bracelet. There is a difference between the Mini DolceVita and the classic size, and between a leather strap and a metal bracelet.
Can you shower with a DolceVita watch?
We do not recommend it, because most DolceVita watches are only water resistant to 3 ATM. They handle rain and hand washing, but do not take them underwater.
