The Spirit collection is inspired by the pioneering spirit and exploits of history’s most prominent aviators. Amelia Earhart, Howard Hughs and Paule-Emile Victor are just some of the figures who influenced the design and features of this collection. With a typical Longines attention to detail and outstanding craftsmanship, the models in this line were created to inspire adventure and a desire for you to leave your mark on the world. With a design inspired by the past, these are timepieces that undoubtedly will endure for decades to come. 

Echoing Longines’ commitment to its vast watchmaking heritage, the Longines Spirit Flyback revives the flyback movement that was first used by the brand in 1925. Unlike conventional chronographs, a flyback function allows the wearer to stop, reset and restart the chronograph hand with one press. Historically, this function was incredibly convenient for pilots. The flyback allowed them to time each flight stage in a quick and practical way, in order to aid with navigation.
