The watch world’s love affair with all things revisited continues, as Longines’ reinterpretation of a 1930s chronograph, the Avigation BigEye, won the revival award at the industry’s annual excellence awards.
True to the spirit of pilots’ watches, the winning Longines model displays a very readable dial with a focus on the minute counter and impressive push buttons that enable the wearer to handle them while wearing gloves.
The 41mm diameter case houses a L688 column wheel chronograph movement, its semi-glossy black dial is decorated with Arabic numerals coated with SuperLuminova©, and a domed crystal and brown leather watch strap add vintage elegance to the piece.
And the winner is…the Longines Avigation BigEye
This Longines beauty took top honours at the 2017 watch Oscars, the Grand Prix De L’horlogerie De Genève
