Some retro, it is difficult to look straight"

Longines is undoubtedly a well-known brand in China, and compared with other Swiss watches, Longines's access to China is also relatively early. Once upon a time, Longines was also synonymous with luxury in Shanghai. But in fact, Longines is not only an elegant line in the field of watchmaking, whether it is rail or air, it has been dabbled.

The more recent wave of the altar, the more blowing more fierce, or in the watchmaking world has been popular in this retro, but now refer to the past, ancient reference, more ancient. The Longines, which was founded in 1832, also has many classic watches, but it has always been a flying watch in recent times.

In Longines's flight watch, the Type A-7 watch will look even more distinctive. Other watches are designed with an eccentric small dial, but in Longines's Type A-7 watch, the eccentric is not the small dial, but the entire dial, of course, near the watch ear, the same "eccentric" crown.

But I have to say that the design of the wrist watch for people with cervical spondylosis really has a unique style. And some did military watch brands, Longines is also in a U.S. military history of the Swiss watch brand. The name "A-7" comes from the naming of the United States military.

From 20s to 40s of the last century, probably between 1926 and 1941, Longines provided the American air force with a corresponding flying watch.

The current design of the Longines A-7 air navigation table is inspired by some of the classic watches designed in 1930s. It was specially designed and designed for the pilots at that time. This series of watches in the design of large dial design, the same design of a larger crown with a groove, such a design can not only facilitate the viewing time, but also facilitate the operation of the pilot.

Because during the flight, pilots wear thick gloves. And on the tilted dial, the digital time scale is also designed to be larger, so that the pilot is more convenient to view time.

The angle of the tilt dial is specially designed to allow the chronograph to be worn on the inside of the wrist so that the pilot can see the time even without moving his arm or loosening the controls.

With the return of military in the eyes of the public, as well as popular retro, classic Longines watches have become the new design inspiration. Whether it is in 1931 for American pilots Charles Lindbergh specially developed to watch as the prototype, the Longines Type A-7 2012, and in 1935 a pilot scale antique design based Type A-7 1935, and is consistent with the basic design.

With the revival of the ancients and the increasingly strong, more and more watches and brands have been able to recover in the new era. Just like today to introduce the Longines Type A-7, also it is through such a good situation, to appear in the public view, but also to let everyone know Longines's military history.

No matter the watchmaker or our individual, we can not forget the past, at the same time we must be down-to-earth at the moment, and we all have our own prospects in the future. Without history and innovation, both individuals and businesses are unable to survive easily.
