Longines Avigation Big Eye Chronograph 41mm – a pilot's chronograph with history
Longines is one of the brands that accompanied timekeeping in aviation from the very beginning. The Avigation Big Eye takes up this tradition: the chronograph is modelled on historical pilot's chronographs from the brand's archives and translates their design language into a modern watch. Its hallmark is the noticeably enlarged minute counter that gives the model its "Big Eye" name – originally a purely functional detail that made it easier for pilots to read stopped times at a glance. The name Avigation itself – a blend of “aviation” and “navigation” – refers to the brand's historical cockpit instruments and pilot's watches.
Vintage design, modern technology
At 41 mm in diameter, the automatic chronograph wears in a pleasantly balanced way – present enough for a sporty appearance, classic enough for everyday wear. The dial stays true to its historical model: clear structure, high-contrast totalisers and highly legible numerals in the style of classic cockpit instruments. The Avigation Big Eye thus combines authentic vintage charm with the reliability of a modern mechanical watch – a recommendation for collectors as well as for anyone entering the world of pilot's chronographs. The Big Eye is thus one of those watches that look like history at first glance yet wear completely effortlessly in everyday life.
