Longines Lindbergh Original : born of challenge and triumph

“Well, I did it”
Charles Lindbergh, May 21, 1927

New York, May 20th 1927, 07:43 a.m. – The “Spirit of St. Louis” finally took off from Roosevelt Airport. Destination: Le Bourget airport near Paris. In the cockpit was a 25-year old American called Charles A. Lindbergh. Thirty-three hours and thirty-nine minutes later he landed in Paris, making aviation history with the first non-stop transatlantic flight. As the official timekeeper of the International Aviation Association, Longines duly entered his flight in the record books. Shortly afterwards, close collaboration between Longines and Lindbergh led to the Longines Hour Angle watch. Conceived and designed by Charles A. Lindbergh, it served to determine exact longitude during long-distance flights.

The Longines Lindbergh retains the attractive design worthy of a complex measuring instrument. Its striking Roman numerals contrast attractively with to its otherwise soberly functional face. Like its Louis XV styled turnip-shaped crown and Breguet hands, they recall an earlier time, when the Art Déco movement decreed that every object had to be beautiful and suitably decorated no matter how utilitarian its purpose. The Longines Lindbergh 75th Anniversary Edition comes in its original 38.00 mm size and is equipped with a mechanical Longines L614.2 seld-winding mechanical movement. The watch features a superbly finished stainless-steel case and a black leather strap.
