The Longines Pilot's Watch Lineage

This model is a direct descendant of the pilot's watch "Ref. 3582" released in 1935, and while it retains its distinctive design, it has been refined for a modern look, making it a watch that truly showcases Longines' skill.

The Longines Pilot Majetec is a reproduction of a military pilot's watch.

　In recent years, Longines has released a large number of reissues of classic models from the past. The key point is the exquisite selection of the original models, the excellent inheritance of their style, and the skillful integration of these into modern specifications. This skill is fully demonstrated in the recently announced Longines Pilot Majetec.

　This model's roots lie in the Ref. 3582 pilot's watch, manufactured in 1935 to order from the Czechoslovakian military. It retains the distinctive, sturdy cushion case and bidirectional rotating fluted bezel. While the case diameter is somewhat large at 43mm, the lugs are more rounded than on the original, improving comfort.

　The bidirectional rotating fluted bezel has been reproduced in both design and function, with a triangular marker that indicates the start time of the measurement. This marker is located between the sapphire crystal and the dial, and only the bezel and marker rotate. The watch is water resistant to 10 bar.

　The straight pencil-shaped hour and minute hands, black dial with Arabic numerals, and the Arabic numerals are typical of military watches of the past, and this model, apart from the "LONGINES" logo, only displays functional information, clearly retaining its origins as a professional model. The automatic Cal. 893.6 movement, equipped with a silicon balance spring, is a COSC-certified chronometer with a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, which is satisfactory by modern standards.

　Even though they have released many reissue models, attractive models like this one still pop up. This is the result of Longines' history and skill.
