In 2023, Longines introduces the new Spirit Flyback Chronograph, a retro-styled pilot’s chronograph that stands as the most complex timepiece in the Spirit collection to date. The flyback function allows the wearer to instantly reset and restart the chronograph seconds hand during timing operations.

The new model features a 42mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 17mm, offering 100 meters of water resistance for a comfortable and substantial feel on the wrist. The bidirectional rotating bezel is fitted with a blue ceramic ring, featuring alternating white Super-LumiNova coated numerals and square markers for excellent legibility.

The dial is adorned with a sunray brush finish. Two sub-dials create a balanced, symmetrical layout:

  • 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock.

  • small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock.

The hour and minute hands, applied raised hour markers, and sub-dials are all outlined in rose gold. The five-star symbol on the dial indicates that the movement has been certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC).

Powered by the new L791.4 self-winding movement, it operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a 68-hour power reserve. Turning the watch over reveals the case back, where the oscillating weight is decorated with a globe pattern marked with longitude and latitude lines, along with the winged hourglass logo.

Paired with a stainless steel bracelet, this timepiece is officially priced at 36,300 CNY.
