Longines Spirit 42mm Mens Watch
This Spirit chronograph combines Longines' horological heritage with contemporary design. The 42mm stainless steel case houses an L688.4 calibre movement, delivering precision timekeeping alongside chronograph functionality. The silver dial features applied Arabic numerals and black hands treated with Super-Lumi Nova for legibility, whilst three subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions track 30 minutes, 12 hours, and 60 seconds respectively. A brown leather strap completes the package.
Water resistance extends to 10 bar, making the watch suitable for everyday wear and brief immersion. The Spirit collection draws inspiration from Longines' aviation and exploration lineage, presenting those classical proportions through a modernised lens. This reference represents the collection's enduring appeal to those seeking a capable chronograph with genuine mechanical substance.
