Story & Heritage

Few watches carry as much historical weight as the Longines Lindbergh Hour Angle. After Charles Lindbergh’s solo flight across the Atlantic in 1927, he collaborated with Longines to create a pilot’s instrument capable of calculating longitude during aerial navigation. The result was the Hour Angle – a watch that fused mechanical mastery with scientific precision.

This limited-edition Heritage model faithfully revives the pioneering design:

A large 47 mm case, just like early aviator watches for legibility in the cockpit

The signature rotating bezel and inner rotating disk, allowing pilots to determine their geographic position using the sun and a sextant

A highly detailed dial featuring Roman numerals, minute calibrations, and navigation scales

An open case back exposing the elegant Longines mechanical movement

A hand-finished construction that reflects the craftsmanship of the original era

Produced in a series of only 1000 examples, this watch is not just a timekeeper – it is a living tribute to exploration, innovation, and the evolution of modern aviation. Collectors value it as one of Longines’ most iconic historical recreations, bringing together mechanical beauty, technical significance, and a legendary story.
