4/12/2023 0 Comments Longines spirit chronograph![]() ![]() One major change compared to the classic steel model can be seen on the left side of the case the date correction pusher is now absent… And that changes the look quite drastically, and in a good way.Īlso new to this Longines Spirit Pioneer Edition is the dial. The case retains its antireflective sapphire crystal, a screwed caseback with dedicated engravings and a comfortable 100m water-resistance. Yet, the multiple polished accents are still present, giving it a luxurious feel and an undeniable sense of quality. The comfort is acceptable since the watch is nicely shaped, but don’t expect this to be your daily, business-oriented timepiece.īeing made of titanium, the colour of this Longines Spirit Pioneer Edition is also different from stainless steel, being a bit darker. The case retains the same dimensions, with a respectable 42mm diameter and a height of 16.5mm… not the thinnest watch, if I’m honest. But now, it is made of grade 5 titanium, which results in a watch with a different weight-and-feel on the wrist. The case, overall, remains identical in shape and proportions. In short, what you’re looking at here with the Longines Spirit Pioneer Edition is an evolution of the classic steel chronograph version, which was part of the inaugural collection, with different colours, new materials and something quite cool regarding the display. ![]() As of now, we’ve seen multiple evolutions, with smaller cases, new bright colours and even a titanium time-only version that is, according to us, the version you should go for… But now there’s a new star of the show, named the Longines Spirit Pioneer Edition. The result, whether for the time-and-date, chronograph or GMT version, is certainly appealing. Contrary to the vintage-oriented collection, with relatively faithful re-editions, the Spirit is a watch that mixes modern features – enhanced movements, antimagnetic parts, robust architecture and boldness in the design and colours – with classic elements of old-school pilot’s watches. While it surely has some design cues that refer to past models of the brand, it isn’t shaped after an existing watch from the heritage lineup. The Longines Spirit is, as of now, an entire collection with a specific position in the brand’s portfolio. Titanium case, bold neon green accents and a no-date display… Now, it’s time for the chronograph to come in a new version, with the Longines Spirit Pioneer Edition. Apart from the classic range, there are some special editions that have been specifically well received, such as the green dial models and, recently, the titanium time-only version. Available in different sizes (37mm, 40mm and 42mm), with various displays, many different colours and materials, the Spirit lineup is growing fast. For two years now, Longines has concentrated a lot of efforts on developing its Spirit collection, a range of modernly executed, slightly retro-styled pilot’s watches. ![]()
