In 1927, Charles Lindbergh completed the first flight over the Atlantic Ocean by making a direct flight from New York to Paris.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of this extraordinary performance, Longines produced a high quality limited edition piece paying tribute to the hour angle watch that was designed by Lindbergh and commercialised in 1932.

Like the original model, the watch has a large 47.5mm diameter with a big ball-shaped crown to use it very easily even when wearing gloves. On the gold version, the main dial is fixed and made in enamel while the rotating center dial is made in mother-of-pearl, further elevating the style of the watch. The manual winding jumbo movement, cal L878.4, has a beautiful architecture, in direct line with Longines tradition. The hinged back is decorated with the winged hourglass logo and opens to reveal to movement protected by a glass dust cover.

This yellow gold version was produced in 100 examples only and this specimen, preserved in most attractive condition comes with its full suite of accessories.
