Longines Spirit Flyback L3.821.53.2 - 42mm Chronograph Titanium Men's Watch
£3,250.00 GBP

LONGINES SPIRIT FLYBACK CHRONOGRAPH - TITANIUM EXCELLENCE

Full titanium construction. Anthracite dial. The chronograph that actual pilots wear when they're not required to wear their issued watches.

Why This Reference Matters The Spirit Flyback in titanium is Longines at their technical peak. 42mm of Grade 2 titanium means 30% lighter than steel - you'll forget you're wearing it until someone asks what it is. That anthracite dial with applied numerals has depth that photos can't capture. This is sophisticated tool watch territory.

The Movement Nobody Talks About Column-wheel chronograph with flyback function. One button press resets and restarts the chronograph instantly - crucial for navigation timing, brilliant for everything else. The L821.1 movement (based on ETA A08.L11) delivers 68-hour power reserve. Chronometer certified by COSC - same accuracy standards as watches costing three times more.

Market Position While everyone chases steel sports watches, titanium pieces are quietly appreciating. Light, hypoallergenic, scratch-resistant (mostly), and genuinely rare in quality executions like this. Longines Heritage meets modern materials.

The NATO Choice Currently on tactical NATO. Original bracelet not included, but honestly the NATO suits the tool watch character better. Titanium hardware throughout means no weight penalty.

Condition Notes Pre-owned but excellent. Chronograph functions perfectly - crisp action, clean reset.

 

What's Included Watch and current NATO strap.
