Its 39mm stainless steel case combines balanced proportions, instant legibility, and everyday comfort.

Available with interchangeable stainless steel bracelet, brown leather or green rubber, the collection makes it easy to adapt the watch’s style to your use and preferences.
Design and features
The matte black dial offers excellent readability thanks to applied Arabic numerals and Swiss Super-LumiNova® treatment. The gold hands provide subtle contrast while reinforcing the vintage aviation spirit.
The round stainless steel case includes a screw-down crown and a sapphire crystal with multi-layer anti-reflective treatment on both sides. Its 39mm format and restrained 11.50mm thickness ensure a well-balanced presence on the wrist.
Each variation benefits from the Longines interchangeable system, enabling a quick strap change without tools.
Movement and performance
The watch is powered by the automatic Longines L888.4 caliber oscillating at 25’200 beats per hour. This mechanical movement features a single-crystal silicon balance spring improving resistance to magnetism and accuracy.
The power reserve reaches up to 72 hours. COSC certification guarantees chronometer-grade performance in line with official Swiss standards.
With 100m water resistance, it can be used in a wide range of everyday situations.
