Having been released for watch enthusiasts for the first time in 2017 with a black dial and steel case in reference to the brand’s aviation history, BigEye welcomes the watch world with its petrol blue dial and titanium case this time.
Surely, the history of the Longines brand with aviation dates back to the 1930s. The brand uses a design that reflects the design of the pilot chronographs of the 1930s to reflect this historical richness.
It should be noted that no major changes have been made in terms of design. Many features of the steel case version introduced in 2017 can also be seen in this model.
The titanium case measuring 41mm x 14.5mm is brushed and polished. Anti-reflective coated sapphire crystal is used on the front of side of the watch where there is a titanium caseback on the back. The model is water resistant up to 30 meters.
The petrol blue dial with a gradient effect is quite remarkable. It is possible to say that the black sub-dials are in harmony with the main dial color. The numerals and hands on the dial are covered with cream-colored SuperLuminova material.
Powered by Automatic Caliber L688 with 27 jewels, it works at a frequency of 28,800 vph and has 54 hours of power reserve. Complications of the model are the hours, minutes, seconds, 12-hour and 30-minute chronographs.
The model comes with a natural calf leather strap with a titanium buckle.
The price of the model with a 5-year warranty is EUR 3,230.
