In 1935, Longines introduced the Pilot Majetek, a watch designed for professional aviators. Today, the winged hourglass brand reinvents this classic by launching the Longines Pilot Majetek Pioneer Edition in dark grey titanium. Limited to 1,935 pieces, this edition pays tribute to the year the original model was born.
A historical design revisited
The 1935 Longines Pilot Majetek was a bold watch with a cushion case and fluted bi-directional bezel. The current model retains this iconic design with a modern twist thanks to its 43mm Grade 5 titanium case.
On the side of the case, at 9 o'clock, a commemorative plaque engraved with “1935” recalls the historical origins of this exceptional watch. The major innovation lies in the bezel rotation mechanism, which guarantees optimum water resistance while allowing the start marker to be positioned safely under the sapphire crystal.
A functional and readable dial
The dial of the Longines Pilot Majetek is a grained matte black, offering excellent readability, even in low light conditions. The raised Arabic numerals, treated with grey Superluminova, shine with a bluish glow, as do the baton hands.
At 6 o'clock, an oversized, slightly sunken small seconds dial recalls the functional nature of the original, reinforced by the fluted bezel.
An exclusive and high-performance movement
The Longines Pilot Majetek is powered by the exclusive L893.6 calibre. This automatic movement is equipped with a silicon balance spring and innovative components, offering magnetic resistance exceeding the requirements of ISO 764 by a factor of more than ten.
The engraved and closed case back protects this sophisticated mechanism while contributing to the overall water resistance of the watch.
An elegant tribute to a watchmaking heritage
The Longines Pilot Majetek comes with a black fabric strap, adding a touch of sobriety and elegance to the whole.
By reinventing the Pilot Majetek, Longines offers a watch that combines historical design with modern technologies. This limited edition in dark grey titanium is not only a tribute to the pioneers of aviation, but also an exceptional piece for watch lovers looking for reliability and precision.
Ultimately, the Longines Pilot Majetek Pioneer Edition is much more than just a watch: it is a celebration of Longines' watchmaking expertise and heritage, capturing the spirit of aeronautical innovation and exploration that has marked its history.
