The Longines Avigation is a modern interpretation of a 1949 watch made for the British armed forces. The case, which retains the original 44mm diameter, houses a mechanical movement encased in a soft iron plate and dome that protect it from magnetic fields. The dial is typical of military watches, displaying red and white luminescent numerals with the distinctive “broad arrow” sign prominent at 12 o’clock. This symbol was used by the British army to identify military equipment.>>> Mechanical automatic, L704 calibre. Hours, minutes, seconds, date, second time zone. Steel case, 44 mm.
