To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks, Longines, Official Partner, Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of the event since 2011, presents a new Mini Dolce Vita model in a limited edition of 150 pieces. This elegant timepiece, set with diamonds, comes with a new double strap in pink nappa leather - the color of the Kentucky Oaks - in support of women's health. In a subtle nod to the equestrian world that has been so dear to Longines since 1869, the holes in the strap are numbered from 1 to 6 in hot print, just like the stirrup leathers that connect the saddle to the horse's stirrups.

Presented in a rectangular stainless steel case measuring 21.50 mm x 29.00 mm and set with 38 Top Wesselton diamonds, the Mini Dolce Vita is equipped with a high-precision L178 quartz movement and is water-resistant to 3 bar (30 meters). This special series features a Cosmo dial composed of sandblasted silvered and matte white discs. The Roman numerals, rose gold hands and black lacquered indexes provide an elegant contrast.
