The Sport Legends line from Longines pays tribute to the pioneers of sport and exploration whose exploits have been timed and measured by the company. This year, the winged hour-glass brand is reviving the wrist chronograph originally developed in 1938 for the mapmakers of the Italian Navy Hydrographic Institute and, at the same time, celebrating the 70th anniversary of this timepiece!
