Logines Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch - NO RESERVE Longines Lindbergh Hour Ange Watch. Brand New with all boxes and papers. Model L26784112. Original price was $4,100! Time, legend, and reality link to reveal the unique partnership between Longines and Lindbergh, the man who made the first non-stop transatlantic flight on his plane, "The Spirit of St. Louis." Commemorating the 75th anniversary of the historic flight from New York on May 20th 1927 to Le Bourget (near Paris), the timepiece also celebrates the triumph for Longines, who was the official timekeeper of the International Aviation Association and recorded Lindbergh's triumph in the record books. Shortly afterward, Lindbergh collaborated with Longines on a watch design, which led to the Hour Angle watch. Unlike its predecessors, this timepiece not only gauged hours, minutes, and seconds but could simultaneously allow pilots and navigators to determine their bearings precisely. Turn the 47.5mm case of steel on its back and open the hinged engraved back for a view of the Longines caliber L699 (Valgranges A07111 base) through sapphire crystal. Place it on your wrist with a durable brown leather strap and view the white lacquered dial, which presents black painted double minute track, black painted Roman numerals, and blue painted degrees in Arabic numerals. The rotating center dial allows for synchronization of the seconds hand with radio time, and indication of longitude (in degrees and minutes of arc) may be determined in conjunction with the bezel. The Louis XV-styled turnip-shaped crown (ideal for using while wearing gloves) and elegantly blued Breguet hands recall the Art Deco movement's decree that every object be beautiful no matter how utilitarian its purpose. Wear the Hour Angle and a fascinating example of timeless watchmaking history is yours.
