THE LONGINES SPIRIT collection has expanded with a piece featuring a flyback function, a complication intrinsically linked to the brand’s rich heritage. Longines equipped its first models with a flyback function in 1925 and filed a patent for this on 12 June 1935. The patent was registered on 16 June 1936: a world’s first. The particular advantage of flyback is that it gives pilots a practical and fast way of successively timing different flight stages, thus facilitating navigation.
In addition, many legendary pioneers have put their faith in Longines to make the impossible a reality. Richard Byrd tops the list of those who have benefited from the brand’s expertise. Equipped with Longines instruments, he was the first man to fly over the South Pole, a unique feat echoing the pioneering spirit that has guided the hourglass brand since its inception.
