As a part of being the official timekeeper of all the Meydan Group’s events, Longines didn’t miss the chance this year to time the sophisticated Dubai World Cup. Held on Saturday March 26th, this event elegantly marked the end of the Dubai international flat-racing season 2016, as the Swiss watch brand awarded the winners with a Longines watch.

This day also witnessed the Dubai Sheema Classic, which was presented by Longines and won by Andrea Atzeni. To make the day even more exciting, the event was not all about racing. With its famed slogan “Elegance is an Attitude” in mind, Longines has awarded Abir Bennani with one of its stunning watches for being the Longines Most Elegant Lady of the racetrack.

The Dubai World Cup, with all its glory and elegance, has offered the attendees the opportunity to discover a model of The Longines Master Collection, which was the event’s Official Watch. This elegant man watch features a chronograph, a delicate silvered stamped barleycorn dial and a moon phase display, while the transparent case-back unveils the sophistication of the self-winding mechanical movement.
