Description from the seller
Limited Edition
The Story Behind Longines “The Pioneers” World Time
This watch evokes an era when accurate timekeeping was essential to travel, exploration and the pioneering spirit of aviation.
Longines’ connection with that history includes Charles Lindbergh’s legendary solo, non-stop flight from New York to Paris in 1927, which the company timed. Following his historic journey, Lindbergh developed the concept for the famous Hour Angle watch, produced by Longines to assist pilots with navigation.
The “Pioneers” World Time offers a different expression of the fascination with time and travel. Its city ring and 24-hour scale bring distant destinations together on the wrist, allowing the wearer to follow the time across different parts of the world.
Its appeal lies in this combination of classic watchmaking and the romance of travel—a timepiece that invites its wearer to look beyond the local horizon.
Movement: Automatic mechanical movement, powered by the Swiss ETA-based Longines calibre L635.2, featuring 33 jewels.
• Case Size: A classic 38 mm case diameter, offering comfortable proportions on the wrist.
• Materials: Stainless steel case with an 18-carat yellow gold bezel and crown.
• Dial: White lacquered dial with Roman numerals and a finely detailed world map at its centre.
• World Time / GMT: Allows the wearer to read the time across different time zones using the city bezel and rotating 24-hour ring.
• Fixed City Bezel: Engraved with major international cities, including London, Paris, Tokyo, New York and Bangkok, with black lettering against a gold background.
• Rotating 24-Hour Ring: A graduated scale from 1 to 24, adjusted via the crown to read the time in other cities.
• Hands: Elegant blue hands complement the dial’s traditional styling and vintage character.
• Officer-Style Caseback: A hinged rear cover opens to reveal the mechanical movement through a transparent exhibition back, highlighting its intricate details and engravings.
