The Longines Avigation – Lindbergh Hour Angle Automatic 47.5 mm Black Dial Leather Strap [L2.678.4.11.0]

The Longines Avigation – Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch [L2.678.4.11.0] is one of the most historically significant pilot’s watches ever created. Designed in collaboration with legendary aviator Charles Lindbergh following his pioneering transatlantic flight, this timepiece was engineered as a true navigational instrument rather than a conventional chronograph.

Its defining feature is the rotating Hour Angle bezel, which allows pilots to calculate longitude in flight when used in conjunction with a sextant and nautical almanac. This functionality made the Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch an essential tool for early long-distance aviation, cementing its place in horological and aeronautical history.

The watch is housed in a commanding 47.5 mm stainless steel case, faithfully preserving the oversized proportions of the original 1930s cockpit instruments. The black dial features painted Arabic numerals and blued steel hands, ensuring optimal legibility under demanding conditions. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial while maintaining visual clarity.

Powered by a self-winding Swiss mechanical movement, this model delivers reliable timekeeping without complication, staying true to its original purpose as a precision navigation aid. The watch is completed with a brown leather strapsecured by a pin buckle, reinforcing its vintage aviation character.

The Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch is not merely a tribute — it remains a functional symbol of innovation, exploration, and Longines’ enduring connection to aviation history.
