Couldn't load pickup availability
One of Longines' flagship models and an absolute beast of a tool/pilot chronograph.
It's a chunky aviator with a phenomenal design and proper masculine wrist presence. Despite the size I find it very well proportioned, and it looks incredible on the wrist.
Longines 5-year warranty until 17.07.2029
RRP £4,350
The flyback complication is both genuinely useful and incredibly satisfying to use, allowing the chronograph to be instantly reset and restarted with a single push.
Great cosmetic condition - the watch has been worn and loved, so there are light signs of casual wear on the case and bracelet visible upon close inspection. Nothing particularly obtrusive overall and it presents very well on the wrist.
The domed AR-coated sapphire crystal is pristine and unmarked, as is the sapphire caseback crystal.
If you prefer it on a strap, I am also selling a brown Longines strap with the upgraded microadjustable deployant clasp which goes really nicely with this model.
Excellent mechanical condition - timegrapher tested across five positions:
Approximately -2 to 0 sec/day depending on position, with 253 to 280° amplitude and 0.2 to 0.7 ms beat error at 28,800 vph.
The COSC Longines L791.4 automatic flyback chronograph movement is running very well overall, showing healthy amplitude, excellent rate stability and highly consistent positional performance across the tested positions.
Chronograph and flyback functions work as expected.
Comes full set with:
- Outer cardboard box
- Inner wooden presentation box
- Longines warranty card (17.7.2024 Beaverbrooks)
- COSC certificate card
- Instruction manual
- Authenticity certificate
A phenomenal modern pilot chronograph and probably one of the coolest watches in the current Longines lineup.

Why buy from Zero Hour?
All the products on this shop are available to buy on eBay and Vinted but at a higher price to accommodate the hefty platform selling fees.
I made this website so I can offer the best deal possible and be able to control the price.
If you prefer to buy the watch on our ebay/vinted stores and don't mind the higher price on there than that's perfectly fine.
Condition

Water Resistance
Unless specifically stated with a recent pressure-test date, water resistance is not guaranteed.
