For well over a century, Longines has embodied the apotheosis of horological craftsmanship, creating masterpieces that have served aviators, divers, and various other professionals with a precision that borders on the sublime. The Spirit collection pays tribute to the brand's rich history of supplying watches to legendary aviators and adventurers throughout the 20th century.

About Longines Spirit Watches

The Longines Spirit Collection is a captivating ensemble of timepieces that seamlessly bridges the gap between aviation history and contemporary elegance. Launched in 2020, each watch is a masterful fusion of classic design elements and state-of-the-art technology.
The early aviators of the 20th century, such as Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, Elinor Smith, and Howard Hughes, embodied audacious trailblazers who defied the odds and transcended the limitations of their time. Their forays into the uncharted skies were not merely feats of derring-do but stunning manifestations of human tenacity, innovation, and resilience.
At a time when the term "flight" was synonymous with peril, these pioneers forged a path to the heavens with the odds stacked heavily against them. They faced a storm of challenges - meteorological unpredictability, primitive technology, and the ever-lingering specter of catastrophic failure. Their trust in a Longines timepiece to accurately measure the minutes was a bold assertion of faith in the brand's capabilities amidst the uncertain maelstrom of the open sky.
Embodying an aura of eternal elegance, the watches in the Spirit Collection pay tribute to these aviation pioneers who dared to breach the boundaries of possibility.
The timepieces exude a timeless charm that transcends fleeting trends and ephemeral fashions and come with clean and highly legible dials with oversized Arabic numerals, which are reminiscent of classic pilot's watches. The collection offers a range of three-hand models, from time-only watches to chronographs, each designed with a focus on authenticity and practicality.

Longines Spirit History

Longines was founded in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, in 1832 by Auguste Agassiz. From its inception, Longines exhibited a dedication to precision and innovation. In the late 19th century, it gained recognition for its pioneering work in chronometry, which contributed to the brand's reputation for accuracy and reliability.
The brand's association with aviation began early in the 20th century. Longines was among the first to provide precision instruments and watches to pilots. One of the most iconic moments in Longines' history came in 1919 when the brand timed the first non-stop transatlantic flight by Charles Lindbergh. This momentous achievement not only solidified Longines' connection with aviation but also catapulted the brand to international recognition.
In 1932, Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, wore a monopusher Longines double-register chronograph during her transatlantic flight.
Longines' dedication to the aviation community continued to grow, and the brand's timepieces, designed to withstand the rigors of open cockpits and the challenges of fluctuating air pressure, quickly gained a reputation for their reliability.
Fast forward to the 21st century, and Longines began modeling watches like the Avigation series in the Heritage collection to honor the legacy of Its historical involvement in aviation.
In 2020, Longines released a dedicated line, the Spirit Collection, to pay a fitting homage to the audacity, vision, and courage of the pioneering aviators who once relied on Longines timepieces during their journeys. Today, the Collection continues to encapsulate the spirit of adventure and stands as a reminder of Longines' enduring commitment to the world of aviation.

All the watches within the Spirit Collection are equipped with superlative automatic calibers, meticulously crafted in-house or by ETA in an exclusive collaboration with Longines. These movements are powered by the wearer's wrist movements, eliminating the need for manual winding.
Longines incorporates monocrystalline silicon balance springs into their automatic movements for anti-magnetic resistance and to enhance the overall performance and longevity of their watches.

The Longines Spirit Collection primarily embraces classic and timeless colors like silver, black, blue, warm brown, and champagne. Many of the dials come with contrasting white, gold, or silver numerals and hands for enhanced legibility.
Funkier and less common color variations that add a touch of individuality to the collection include olive green, anthracite, and charcoal brown.

Some Spirit watches are equipped with chronographs, while others feature a more specialized version of a chronograph called a flyback chronograph, or "retour en vol" in French. The collection also includes some models with a GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) complication, which allows wearers to track a second timezone.
