DESCRIPTION
The Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch pays tribute to of Charles Lindbergh’s exploit
Following his transatlantic solo flight from New York to Paris in 33 hours and 30 minutes, timed by Longines, Charles Lindbergh conceived the design of the Hour Angle Watch whose production was then entrusted to Longines. Produced again in 2006 in its original 47.5 mm diameter size, this time with a state-of-the-art selfwinding movement.
The masculine maxi
Exactly 47.5 mm across! This model, in the original dimensions, is based on the patent for a watch registered in conjunction with Longines by Captain P. V. H. Weems – a simple and decisive invention whereby the watch could be synchronized to the nearest second with a radio time signal using the outer bezel of the central dial. In the early decades of the last century, a large-sized watch like this one was far easier to read and handle in the gloom, noise and vibrations of the plane cockpits of the period. What’s more, its oversized knurled crown could easily be manipulated by a pilot or navigator’s gloved fingers.
A high-flying instrument watch
Demonstrating its invaluable contribution to the development of manned flight, Longines’ Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch was soon instrumental in setting any number of new world records. In 1931, for instance, it helped Clyde Panghorn and Hugh Herndon to complete the first direct single-engine transpacific flight from Japan to the state of Washington, in the US, Amelia Earhart to set new woman’s solo transcontinental and transatlantic flying records in 1932, Amy Johnson to fly solo from England to South Africa and back, Paul Codos and Maurice Rossi to set a new New York to Syria flying record, Wiley Post to establish a new solo round-the-world speed record in seven days 18 hours and 49 minutes or Henry T. Merrill and Jack Lambie whose same-day round trip from New York to London was wildly celebrated.
Longines’ Lindbergh watch is available with a stainless steel case. It 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 12 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.
The L699 movement equipping Longines’ new Original-Size Lindbergh watch provides this model with 42 hours of power reserve, longer than the entire duration of Charles Lindbergh’s epochal 1927 flight from New York to Paris.
With 16 1/2 lines in diameter, 24 jewels and a 28,800 vibrations per hour beat, this first-class movement possesses more than enough resources to keep a watch so steeped in history running smoothly and dependably for a long time to come.
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 Lindbergh Original-Size by Longines is sold in an exclusive presentation case which also contains a book describing the history of the relationship between the famous aviator and the watch company.
Even today, the Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch by Longines remains an impressive achievement. A navigational as well as a horological instrument, it was conceived by Charles Lindbergh in the wake of his epochal flight aboard the Spirit of St. Louis and masterfully brought to life by Longines. This unique sky-born partnership has proved durably beneficial to the advancement both of horology and of aerial navigation.
