This watch was completely factory-serviced in 2021 and comes with service documents and an archive extract, as well as an original Swiss air box.
Made in 1957 for Swissair in Switzerland, this model is part of a limited edition dedicated to Swissair pilots.

Oversized 47 mm stainless steel case with curved lugs for improved readability, a key feature for pilots.

Matte black dial with an inner 24-hour ring and outer Arabic hands with 60-second divisions. The design facilitates the rapid distinction between day and night hours, essential for long-haul flights crossing multiple time zones.

Powered by the manually wound Longines caliber 37.9 S, a robust movement known for its precision and durability. It features 17 jewels and an automatic stop function, allowing pilots to synchronize the time precisely.
Featuring a large spherical "onion" crown, designed for maximum ease of use, even with gloves, a standard requirement in aviation.

The case back is engraved with the "SWISSAIR" inscription and an individual issue number, underscoring its personalized nature and direct connection to the airline.
