LONGINES PILOT MAJETEK

Watches LONGINES PILOT MAJETEK

On 1 April 1935, Longines registered the Pilot Majetek model with the International Bureau of Industrial Property in Bern, Switzerland. Initially designed for aviators, this timepiece has gradually won over a wider public looking for a reliable, robust and precise watch. Almost a century later, the brand has revived this unique pilot's watch with completely revised technical and ergonomic features. A major technical challenge, its bidirectional fluted bezel with internal “starting time indicator”, mounted on a cushion-shaped case, asserts its innovative character and recalls the 1935 model that inspired it. These chronometer-certified watches are powered by an exclusive Longines calibre equipped with a silicon balance-spring and resistant to magnetic fields.

The Starting Time Indicator

Associated with aviation and its pioneers for over 100 years, Longines also invented the rotating bezel in the early 1920s. Some Longines pilots' watches, such as the Pilot Majetek, are fitted with rotating bezels with a moving luminescent index, the starting time indicator. Its function: to display the departure time of a mission and accurately measure the flight time between each change of course. Like the flyback complication, also invented by Longines, this innovation played a key role in the conquest of the skies in the early 20th century.
