Longines Spirit Replica Collection Pays Homage to the Pioneering Spirit
The Longines Spirit watch replica collection is designed in the same manner as the timepieces of the famous pioneers as they conquered the air, land and sea relying on their Longines time instruments. Longines Heritage watch replica models have been universally praised by horology fans around the globe, thus a watch that bridges the design gap between the iconic ‘Tradition’ and ‘Heritage’ makes perfect commercial sense – while evolving the brand’s aesthetic. Today, Longines presents new timepieces that are a testimony to their pioneering spirit.
Inspired New Generations
The new Longines Spirit replica collection pays homage to the pioneering spirit of legendary aviators and explorers like Amelia Earhart, Paul-Emile Victor and Elinor Smith, whose achievements left their mark on history and inspired new generations to push the boundaries.Longines watch replica and devices, thanks to their reliability, accuracy, robustness and original technology, have contributed to the success of numerous pioneering exploits. They have accompanied explorers on their journeys to the last unknown lands, defied extreme weather, navigated wild oceans and played a part in opening up new air routes and establishing aviation records.
New Spirit Models
Linking history with innovation, the new Spirit models take traditional features from pilot and military watches and combines them with contemporary lines and codes. The oversized crown – for adjustment while wearing gloves – the dial font, diamond indexes and large, luminous baton hands are all elements drawn from the days of pioneering aviation. While Longines are classifying the Spirit watch replica as a sports watch, it will arrive a touch smaller than the HydroConquest watch replica, in a 40mm or 42mm case (the same as the Master Moonphase) with a choice of three dials, a sunburst blue, flat black and an interesting textured white dial.It is a very, very good-looking design – nicely rounded and dripping with detail. The highly polished, chamfered lugs continue along the entire length of the steely case, thanks to the bezel, which is polished around its flanks and brushed on top, being stepped. The glitzy lugs are also contrasted with the rest of the case, being radially, vertically and horizontally brushed. The knurled, oversized onion screw-down crown is also highly polished, as is the piston-style pump pushers and screw-down date pusher found on the chronograph models. Highly legible, applied Arabic numerals filled with extra bright green Super-LumiNova adorn all of the dials, and the accompanying pencil-style handset is also filled with the mesmerising and practical lume.
The overall aesthetic that Longines has been able to accomplish with all this mixed finishing is admirable, and on the wrist, these watches do not feel cheap … in fact, they feel a fair bit more opulent and expensive than their recommended retail prices would have you believe. It is also worth mentioning that case thickness will depend on which model you go for, with the width ranging from between 13mm to 16mm. Readers needn’t worry about this girth, though, because the lugs of the Spirit are quite rounded; even the largest and thickest variants will fit on most wrists with ease and, more importantly, comfort. The three-hand/calendar watch is also available in a "Prestige" edition with three interchangeable straps (steel, leather and NATO in brown leather).
With the new Longines Spirit watch replica line, the winged hourglass brand proudly aligns itself, as its rich heritage entitles it to, with the legendary pioneers who placed their trust in it. The collection celebrates those heroes of the past and their state of mind that has never dated: one of an ambition to perform well and a quest for excellence.
Self-winding Movements
For anyone who’s a fan of the Longines brand, these five stars will already be familiar. But for those of you who don’t know, the Swiss watchmaker has always bestowed five individual stars to the dials of timepieces that possess movements that have been enhanced for better quality and reliability. The calibres found in the new Spirit collection couldn’t be more worthy of this accolade. Calibre L888.4, found in the 40mm and 42mm time and date variants of the Spirit, offer up a technicality and precision, benefitting from features such as self-winding, hacking seconds, aforementioned COSC certification, silicon balance spring, 21 jewels, 25,200 vph and 64 hours of power reserve. Calibre L688.4, which is utilised in the 42mm chronograph watch replica variants, is also a sensational movement in this price point, thanks to a strong list of specs that include COSC certification, silicon balance spring, self-winding, column wheel chronograph complication, 27 jewels, 28,800 vph and 60 hours of power reserve. Be in no doubt, these ETA-based movements are some of the best in the biz, especially considering that they’ll no doubt be nigh on bombproof.
