In the 1950's, Longines supplied watches to Switzerland's national airline, Swissair. The company is now re-issuing its aviator watch, the Longines Twenty-Four Hours, with its distinctive 24-hour dial. This feature met the needs of navigators who, at the time, had to determine the position of the aircraft and set up a flight plan. Both historical and functional, it has preserved the original's strong aesthetic character.
The movement is automatic calibre L704.2, runs at 28,800 vph, has 24-jewels and a power-reserve of 48-hours. Functions are hours, minutes, date and 24-hour scale. The stainless steel case measures 47.5 mm in diameter. The dial and caseback are protected by sapphire crystals. The dial is matte black with Superluminova on the hour hand, minute hand and 24 Arabic numerals.
