Product Description

The Spirit collection is inspired by the pioneering spirit and exploits of history's most prominent aviators. Amelia Earhart, Howard Hughes and Paul-Émile Victor are just some of the figures who influenced the design and features of this collection. With a typical Longines attention to detail and outstanding craftsmanship, the models in this line were created to inspire adventure and a desire for you to leave your mark on the world. With a design inspired by the past, these are timepieces that undoubtedly will endure for decades to come. 

Echoing Longines' commitment to its vast watchmaking heritage, the Longines Spirit Flyback revives the flyback movement that was first used by the brand in 1925. Unlike conventional chronographs, a flyback function allows the wearer to stop, reset and restart the chronograph hand with one press. Historically, this function was incredibly convenient for pilots. The flyback allowed them to time each flight stage in a quick and practical way, in order to aid with navigation.

Everything about this watch makes it just about the perfect pilot's watch. As a (former) pilot and as a collector of watches I have firm ideas of what a pilot's watch should and should not be - not a chronograph with distracting sub-dials - not a pretend flight computer with extraneous outer rings and bezels - not a GMT watch with a distracting fourth hand which is of little use in flight. The Longines Spirit 40mm pilot watch gets top marks for presenting none of these flaws. Furthermore this watch has easily the most readable dial and hands - in any light or lack of light conditions - of any watch I have owned. One does not need to read the time from this watch it is simply seen with the merest of glances - the gold on black format is highly visible in light shining from any angle with a gradual change to luminous green as the light fades - I have other watches which do this - but Longines seem to do it best. Importantly, the minute and second hands of this watch protrude into and over the minute/second markers on the dial - this is an important feature of a true pilot watch and one where many so-called pilot watches fail badly. Also, there is no distracting and therefore unwanted date window - simply a highly visible dial and three highly visible hands which tell the time to the exact second. That's what's wanted and and this watch delivers it beautifully. My watch gains about 1 second per day currently which is perfectly acceptable for an automatic chronometer and the only adjustment I have made to the watch has been to soften the initially stiffish strap with a couple of applications of Lord Sheraton's Balsam. This is a beautiful and impressive watch.
