Longines Spirit Watches

Longines, one of the mergers of the Swatch Group, has a long, rich history in the watchmaking industry. The Swiss brand has gained attention by introducing the chronograph movement for the first time. The caliber H20 with the reset, stop and start function is controllable with a mono-pusher.

In 1886, the brand started manufacturing pocket watches that had a number of chronograph complications. These watches had a connection with different sporting events. Longines sponsored international-level horse jumping events in 1912. However, after 100 years, it again sponsored different gymnastic tournaments and the Commonwealth Games.

Longines has released numerous remarkable timepieces that are highly admired by watch lovers from all over the world. The Longines Spirit watch is one of the notable ones. Released as the celebrations of the brand’s 188th anniversary, the Spirit watch collection has the best models to create your personal style statement. These timepieces will fit your tastes and needs. Longines always tries to follow the modern watchmaking trends, and it is also true for the Spirit collection. 

In due course, Longines made a shift from conventional pocket watches to modern wristwatches. By 1919, Longines had started gaining popularity as one of the watch suppliers. During the Second World War, the British Ministry of Defense contracted 12 companies to manufacture wristwatches for the British soldiers, and one of them was Longines. At that time, Earhart (aviation pioneer), Bogart (a legendary actor) and Einstein (a theoretical physicist) tried out the timepieces of Longines.

During the 1970s, the company replaced quartz movements with ultra-thin mechanical ones. The serial numbers found in every watch have maintained consistency in Longines collections. The logo of the brand is one of the oldest trademarks in this world. We have provided you with a comprehensive guide on the Longines collection- Spirit.

To celebrate the 188th birth anniversary, the company had released the new watch collection - Longines Spirit. This watch collection is truly a milestone for the company. Heritage, Master, and HydroConquest are some of the most popular collections of the brand. But, how does the Spirit collection differ from them? The most important thing is that it shows the contemporary vision of the brand. Still, it retains some watch traditions of Longines.

According to Matthias Breschan, the CEO of the company, every watch of the Heritage collection represents some historical model. However, Longines had a different concept behind creating the Spirit collection. The latest collection includes unique aesthetic elements from the vintage watches of Longines. The luminous hands, the large diamond-shaped indexes, and the font of the dial- everything is unique.

The Spirit is available with some variants that combine function and aesthetics. But, the common elements to them are the pencil-style hands. Some models also have baton-style hands with Arabic numerals. The chronograph second hand and central second hands also have similar designs. You will also notice a touch of SuperLuminova in the numerals and hands. Moreover, stainless steel cases and water-resistant features (up to 100 meters) are other features of the Spirit collection.

The Longines Spirit watches are available in a range of dial colors, including sunray blue, matt black, and grained silver. The size of the three-handers and chronograph can range from 40mm to 42mm. The chronograph has different setups and configurations. The pusher is at 10 o'clock, and it is capable of controlling the date. The automatic caliber powers the chronograph.

There is no problem with the wearability of the watches. You can choose the Longines Spirit watches as the most stylish bracelet. The case of the watches has no sharp edges, and you will find the standard thickness of every piece. The Spirit watches are available with the Prestige edition. The NATO strap, leather strap, and steel bracelet- every model will draw your attention.
