A pilot's watch as a piece of distinction, style and personality. Longines presents the latest model in its Heritage collection: The Longines 24 Hours Single Push-Piece Chronograph. A monopusher chronograph, reproduction of a pilot's watch from the 1950s, equipped with an exclusive and numbered caliber.
The Longines 24 Hours Single Push-Piece Chronograph has retained the imposing original diameter - 47.50 mm - as well as the dial with its 24-hour scale in matte black or silver. The steel case has a closed back decorated with the brand's legendary logo. The initial model from which it was inspired was equipped with a caliber initially conceived for a pocket watch and later adapted to a wristwatch. In this case it has a L789 self-winding mechanical movement. This new column-wheel chronograph caliber, developed exclusively for Longines, is an adaptation of the Longines monopusher movement. It offers a chronograph function, indicates the hours in 24-hour format and has a small seconds at 18 o'clock, as well as a date window at the bottom of the dial, at 12 o'clock. It comes with a black or brown alligator leather strap, combined with the color of the dials.
Longines is the oldest watch manufacturing brand in operation. Its registered visual trademark, without modification, has remained intact according to the archives of the World Intellectual Property Organization.
