Travelers who are likely to travel for the November to December holiday season will likely be able to enjoy a duty-free stop. With Thanksgiving and Christmas offers landing back-to-back, the DFS (Duty-Free Store) at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) offers holiday shopping pre-flight shopping enjoyable and rewarding.
San Francisco International Airport is 13 miles South of the city of San Francisco. It is near Millbrae and San Bruno and is located in San Mateo County. It is one of the biggest airports in California and has direct flights to all major destinations in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia.
DFS Duty-Free has partnered with Longines, a Swiss luxury watch brand, which was a collaboration that spanned 50 years in 2023 and has marked the occasion by releasing the Longines Master Collection DFS Special Edition, released earlier this year. It is also likely that watch enthusiasts are already aware of this.
The DFS x Longines Special Watch is available in two different sizes: 40 mm and 29 mm. Both sizes have a silver sunray dial with roman numerals that are black in color. The watch comes with interchangeable, stainless steel and brown alligator leather straps, along with a folding safety clasp and transparent case back.
The DFS Special Edition watch is exclusive to DFS and shows both companies commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
It placed modern interpretations on the values of Heritage, Elegance, and Performance for Longines while emphasizing DFS's moderning the traveler-exclusive product offerings.
This limited edition watch was sold at DFS Duty Free at San Francisco International Airport until the end of 2019, with purchasing available from the airport terminal. DFS also provided the following gifts with watch purchases:
🌟 T Galleria Member Offer: Purchase a Longines Master Collection DFS Special Edition watch and get a leather watch pouch.
