LONGINES launches new collection of pioneer spirit SPIRIT watches
The Longines Spirit collection relive this rich heritage.
Longines presents a new collection of timepieces, testimony of the pioneering spirit of the great adventurers of the XX century.Th Century.
With the Spirit collection, the Swiss House pays a vibrant tribute to these exceptional men and women-combining tools of great precision, military aesthetics and contemporary codes.
Conceived in the same vein as the precision instruments that accompanied the famous pioneers in their conquest of the air, the seas or the land, the Longines Spirit collection pays tribute to the men and women of exception who, by a record, a feat of courage, have marked history and push the new generations to surpass themselves.
The brand with winged hourglass was inspired by this heritage to create Longines Spirit, a collection of impeccable pedigree.
Combining history and innovation, the watches of this range reflect the traditional characteristics of the aviator's watches and give them a modern appearance thanks to a reworked aesthetic and cutting-edge technology.
This new collection mixes the old code of pilot watches with the current requirements, thus uniting the past with the present. It consists of three models: two versions three needles/calendar (dark brown leather strap and black dial, steel strap and white clock face), a chronograph version (bracelet blue leather and blue clock face) and (brown leather strap and black dial soloed).
All are equipped with a stainless steel housing, a large screwed crown and a leather or steel bracelet. Under the glass sapphire crystal clear anti-reflective tread inside and outside, the dial is clear and sober, perfectly legible. It has a diamond index, Arabic numerals and wide luminescent sticks, all features of the airtime guard. The trottler, for its part, offers an ultra fine silhouette with a red end.
The Longines watches and appliances have contributed to their reliability, precision, solidity and innovative technologies, to the success of many pioneering achievements. They accompanied exploration missions to the last unknown lands, faced extreme weather conditions, sailed on disassembled seas and participated in the opening of airways or the setting of aviation records.
Many explorers and airmen gave their confidence-and in some way their survival-to Longines. The brand has equipped many adventurers with its precision instruments: Amelia Earhart, Paul-Emile Victor, Elinor Smith and Howard Hughes are among those who have been able to benefit from their expertise in the conquest of the air, the seas or the land.
The Longines Spirit collection relive this rich heritage. Trait of union between history and innovation, these new models take on the characteristics of the pilot watches and marry the current lines and codes. The large crown, the top, the refractor on the flank of the carrure, the typography of the dial, the diamond indexes, or the wide and luminescent sticks are all borrowed from the world of pioneering aviation. Reworked and modernised, they integrate harmoniously with its resolutely contemporary design. In addition, special care has been given to the various finishes, which alternate the details satinated, dull, polished or in relief.
In addition, the exquisite Longines spirit can be comparable only with the most advanced technology. In addition, Longines also provides this unique automatic motion line (l888.4 and l688.4), equipped with silicon helix to ensure high precision and longer service life. The working reserves of these calibrators are 64 hours and 60 hours respectively, which are certified as "stopwatches" by the official stopwatch Control Bureau (COSC) of Switzerland. Round sapphire ice, with multi-layer anti reflection treatment at the top and bottom, thread crown and thread etching background also prove the high technology of this new series.
With its new Longines spirit collection, the winged hourglass brand is proud to align with legendary pioneers and pioneers who trust it and has the full legitimacy of its rich heritage. It celebrates these past heroes who firmly maintain the contemporary mentality: the ambition of excellence and performance.
