On April 1, 1935, Longines registered the Pilot Majetek model with the International Bureau of Industrial Property in Bern, Switzerland. These watches, originally designed for aviators, gradually gained popularity with the wider public looking for a reliable, robust, and accurate timepiece. Almost a century later, the brand has revived this unique pilot model, equipping it with completely redesigned technical and ergonomic features. A significant technical challenge is presented by the bidirectional rotating fluted bezel with an internal starting time indicator. This is set on a cushion-shaped case, which underscores the innovative nature of the watch and references the original 1935 model that inspired it. These chronometer-certified watches are powered by an exclusive Longines caliber with a silicon balance spring, which stands out for its high resistance to magnetic fields.
