Within the Longines Spirit collection, the Spirit Pilot Flyback represents the brand's pioneering role in the development of flyback chronographs. This refined timepiece celebrates an innovation introduced by Longines in the early 1930s, when the brand presented its first flyback chronograph watches, before registering the patent in 1935 that would mark a turning point in watchmaking.
The Spirit Pilot Flyback also features updated proportions, with a stainless steel case measuring 39.5 mm in diameter and just 13.4 mm thick, designed to offer an elegant and comfortable profile. The bidirectional rotating bezel uses an optimized rotation system and, for the first time, integrates a practical countdown timer. The domed sapphire crystal and the clean-cut matte black dial recall the vintage aesthetic of aeronautical instruments, while the gold-plated hands and applied numerals with Super-LumiNova® coating ensure immediate readability even in low-light conditions. Maintaining the functional spirit of pilot watches.
Mechanically, this extraordinary chronograph houses the exclusive Longines L792.4 caliber, a manually wound mechanical movement visible through the transparent screw-down case back. Equipped with a silicon balance spring and cutting-edge components, it guarantees high resistance to magnetic fields. The column-wheel chronograph mechanism with flyback function enables rapid and precise timekeeping, perfectly suited to aviators' needs. With a 68-hour power reserve and COSC chronometer certification, the movement represents the pinnacle of Longines mechanical excellence.
The Spirit Pilot Flyback is available with a stainless steel bracelet or an interchangeable brown leather strap, both featuring a fold-over clasp with a micro-adjustment system. A timepiece that perfectly blends tradition and innovation, designed to accompany the modern pilot in and out of the cockpit.
