Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch - ref L2.678.4.11.2
Description
Framed by its stainless steel case of 47.50 mm of diameter, Longines' Lindbergh watch shows the hours and minutes with a pair of blued steel “Breguet” style hands plus the seconds on a white lacquered dial, protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Along with black painted double minute track and Roman numerals, the dial features twelve blue painted Arabic numerals serving to calculate and display longitudes. The seconds hand is synchronized to a radio time signal via the silvered rotating center dial featuring a black painted double minute track and red numerals. The blue and black Arabic numerals engraved on the case's rotating bezel serve to adjust it to daily variations in the equation of time. This model is equipped with an L699 selfwinding mechanical movement beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and providing 42 hours of power reserve. A hinged and engraved back cover can be lifted to reveal a transparent sapphire plate through which the movement's sparkling dance can be observed. The watch features a brown leather strap. This watch is water-resistant to 30 meters (~100 feet).
