Longines, a long-established Swiss watch brand with a history of over 190 years, has opened a "Longines Archive Exhibition Pop-up Store" in conjunction with the "Longines Archive Exhibition" currently being held at Cité du Temps Ginza in Ginza, Tokyo. This pop-up store will be open for a limited time until May 10th (Sunday), and will bring together and sell a wide range of models, from rare models to the highly anticipated new "HydroConquest" series.
A legacy passed down through generations. Special sale of classic pilot watches and rare pocket watches.
One of the main themes of the "Longines Archive Exhibition" is "Pioneering Spirit." In line with this theme, the pop-up store will sell timepieces that allow visitors to experience the lineage of pilot watches pioneered by Longines.
In addition to iconic models such as the "Longines Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch," a reissue of a historical masterpiece, and the "Longines Avigation Big Eye," the collection also features a wide variety of the popular contemporary "Longines Spirit" watches. This is a rare opportunity to experience Longines' rich history on your wrist.

The pop-up store will feature all the available models, including the "exclusive models for directly managed stores," with two case sizes, 39mm and 42mm, and a wide variety of dial and bezel color options. Fans will be pleased to be able to compare the actual watches and choose from the differences in texture between the Milanese mesh bracelet and the H-link stainless steel bracelet.
Furthermore, the archive exhibition venue also displays the original "HydroConquest" model and the diver's watch that served as the design root for the new model, allowing visitors to learn about the history of the collection's evolution that underlies the latest creation.
