Longines Spirit Silver Dial L3.810.4.73.2

The Longines Spirit Silver Dial Ref. L3.810.4.73.2 is a modern aviation-inspired watch from Longines’ Spirit collection, which was launched in 2020 to celebrate the brand’s historical connection with pioneering aviators and explorers. The watch blends vintage pilot-watch design with contemporary finishing and precision. It features a 40 mm stainless steel case with a silver (often described as white-silver) dial, oversized Arabic numerals, and luminous hands and markers for excellent legibility. A date window at 3 o’clock and a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating add everyday practicality, while the screw-down crown and solid caseback maintain the watch’s tool-watch durability.

Inside the watch is the Longines Calibre L888.4 automatic movement, a COSC-certified chronometer based on the ETA 2892 architecture and enhanced with a silicon balance spring for improved resistance to magnetism and shocks. The movement beats at 25,200 vph and offers an impressive ~72-hour power reserve, giving the watch strong performance for daily wear. The Spirit series also includes a distinctive five-star emblem on the dial, a nod to historic Longines watches where stars indicated movement quality and reliability.

Longines, founded in 1832 by Auguste Agassiz in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, started as Raiguel Jeune & Cie. In 1846, Agassiz's nephew, Ernest Francillon, joined the company, bringing innovations like crown-wound pocket watches that positioned the company at the forefront of watchmaking technology. In 1867, Francillon established the company's first factory in Saint-Imier's "Les Longines" and introduced the 20A movement, earning accolades at the Universal Exhibition in Paris. Francillon's strategic move to industrialize production and Jacques David's technical direction were pivotal in shaping Longines' future as a leader in Swiss watchmaking.

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw Longines pioneering in sports timing with the development of its first chronograph movement in 1878 and becoming a primary supplier for New York sporting officials by 1886. The company's trademark winged hourglass logo, registered in 1889, remains the oldest unchanged active trademark with the WIPO. In the 20th century, Longines adapted to the rise of aviation, creating iconic watches like the Weems Second-Setting Watch and the Hour Angle watch. The mid-20th century brought advancements like the Chronocinegines and the company's first quartz movement. Today, under the Swatch Group, Longines continues to blend its historical heritage with modern design, producing elegant and precise timepieces while maintaining its long-standing connection to the world of sports.
