Longines Spirit Flyback Chronograph Automatic 42mm L3.821.5.53.2

For nearly a century, Longines has accompanied the world's greatest adventurers on their voyages of discovery on land, at sea, and in the air. The Longines Spirit collection brings to life the pioneering spirit that drove these extraordinary men and women to surpass themselves, pursue new ambitions, and believe in the impossible. The Longines Spirit Chronograph watches connect history with innovation, combining the traditional features of pilot watches with the latest watch technologies. All timepieces are equipped with silicon balance springs and are certified as chronometers by the COSC.

The Longines Spirit Flyback bears witness to Longines' pioneering role in the development of this technology. The brand with the winged hourglass produced the first model with a flyback function in 1934 and subsequently filed a patent that was registered on June 16, 1936: a world first. The flyback complication was a revolutionary tool for the airspace and made it possible to time the various stages of a flight sequentially. This made navigation easier.
