The golden age of commercial air travel is commemorated with the Longines Twenty-Four Hours. Such a watch was necessary to determine the correct part of the day due to the sun not always available as a midflight gauge. Originally the timepiece used by navigators on Swissair in the 1950s, this aviator watch encompasses a calibre L704.2 self-winding movement, a matt black dial encrypted with 24 white Arabic numerals sheathed in Super-Luminova and a railwaytrack minute circle. Encased with a sapphire dial and featuring a transparent caseback, the timepiece has both functional and historical aspects to its enduring personality.
