Longines has long been celebrated for its pioneering contributions to aviation timepieces. The brand’s legacy in crafting pilot watches dates back to the early 20th century. Last year, Longines marked a significant milestone by introducing its first titanium watch in the Spirit Flyback collection, which originally launched four years ago. This move was followed by the recent release of a titanium variant for the 39mm Zulu edition.
Building on this tradition of innovation, Longines is now expanding the Spirit Flyback collection with two new editions featuring stainless steel and luxurious 18k gold accents. Both models come in steel cases, with the first edition showcasing 18k yellow gold pushers, crown, and bezel, while the second edition is adorned with 18k rose gold. The difference lies in the dial as the yellow gold version features a green gradient dial, while the rose gold variant boasts an elegant brown dial.
Just like the first titanium variant, both watches measure 42mm in diameter and 17mm in thickness. They feature a 60-minute bi-directional rotating bezel with either a green or blue ceramic insert, a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protecting the dial, and a sapphire crystal caseback.
