Longines Avigation BigEye Titanium is one of the most interesting aviation chronographs of this Swiss brand. It combines a vintage atmosphere with very modern colors and a light titanium case.
The Petroleum dial attracts the most attention. The blue tint creates a gradient effect and changes noticeably depending on the light. Thanks to this, the watch looks much more interesting than classic, black aviation chronographs.
Additionally, the dial has a slightly grained structure. In turn, black totalizers create a strong contrast. Particularly characteristic is the enlarged 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock. This is where the name BigEye comes from.
The case is made of titanium. It has a very universal 41 mm diameter. At the same time, the watch is definitely lighter than similar chronographs made of steel.
In my opinion, titanium fits the character of this model perfectly. Gives it a more technical look. Moreover, matte surfaces harmonize well with the aviation origins of the watch.
Inside, the automatic Longines caliber L688.5 works. The mechanism offers approximately 66 hours of power reserve. Additionally, it uses a silicon balance spring and a column-wheel chronograph design.
Large chronograph pushers further emphasize the character of the pilot’s watch. In turn, the convex sapphire glass visually refers to the old glasses used in aviation watches.
The whole is completed with a brown leather strap. Thanks to this, the cool titanium and blue dial gain a warmer, more vintage character.
For me, Longines Avigation BigEye Titanium is a very successful combination of history and modernity. It is unusual, light and very characteristic. At the same time, it still remains a great watch for everyday wear.
