The 2016 Longines Gran Premio Latinoamericano will take place in the Hipódromo de Gavea, in Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, on 12 March. This itinerant competition is organized by the Organización Latinoamericana de Fomento del Pura Sangre de Carrera (OSAF), every year in a different country of the subcontinent. In addition of being the Title Partner, Longines is proud to be the Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of this event, which is the most important international Group 1 horse race in Latin America.
Alongside the races, the Swiss watch brand will organize the Longines Prize for Elegance. Longines will honour the most elegant lady present at the racetrack with a watch from the Longines DolceVita collection, a line which represents the contemporary elegance of the watchmaking brand worldwide.
Longines is also glad to present the Official Watch of the Longines Gran Premio Latinoamericano, a model of The Longines Master Collection. This men chronograph features a refined silvered stamped barleycorn dial with a moonphase display. The transparent case back of its stainless steel case reveals the self-winding mechanical movement.
