Longines Spirit Pilot Flyback Chronograph

In 2025, Longines introduces this newly designed Spirit Pilot Flyback Chronograph. It features a more vintage-inspired 39.5mm case diameter and a thickness of just 13.4mm, offering a lightweight and comfortable wear with a more refined and striking overall visual effect.

The 39.5mm stainless steel case is treated with alternating satin-brushing and mirror polishing, enhancing the definition of its lines through light and shadow contrast. The black ceramic bidirectional rotating bezel introduces, for the first time, dive-style countdown markers (“15”, “30”, “45”). The screw-down crown ensures 100 meters of water resistance for daily use.

The layout of the sub-dials on the black matte dial differs slightly from previous models:

The 30-minute chronograph counter and small seconds sub-dial are integrated with the 3 and 9 o’clock hour markers. This design maintains comfortable negative space while offering complex functionality. The hands and hour markers feature gilt applied frames. Elements like the minute track, sub-dial scales, and the brand logo at 12 o’clock are also accented in gold, exuding a warm, vintage aura.

Powering the watch is the COSC-certified Calibre L792.4 manual-winding movement. It operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a 68-hour power reserve. This movement is equipped with a column wheel to control the chronograph’s start-stop-reset functions. The bridges are decorated with details like perlage, Côtes de Genève, and blued steel screws.

Paired with a stainless steel bracelet, the watch has an official price of €5,150.
