Longines have bided their time in launching a comprehensive line of wrist-ready pilot watches that are suited to any occasion. While their historical contributions in aviation can't be ignored, working alongside gargantuan names such as Amelia Earhart, Charles Lindbergh and Philip Van Horn Weems, the Heritage lineup of watches that Longines have sold for years are undoubtedly niche. The vintage-accurate style is a boon for a lot of collectors, but the average watch enjoyer generally just needs something that will seamlessly blend in with whatever they're wearing, and in that sense, the Spirit range truly captures the “spirit” of what those early pilot watches were legible, reliable, and suited to their era.Now, there's a healthy variety of Spirit watches available in a range of sizes, materials, and dial colours, ensuring that customers have plenty of options in finding their self-expression within the collection. The details and finishing of these watches is really what sets them apart from the competition of daily-wear watches, with a dial that just keeps rewarding you the closer you look. For a deeper dive into the world of the Longines Spirit, along with some drool-worthy macro shots, check out this video breakdown.
