Equipped with the last Automatic caliber produced by Longines from 1977 to the present, it was în prodution until the Quartz crysis, after they were forced to sell the patent to Lemania and rebranded by it under the name 8810 and 8815, being later used by Breguet, after Breguet acquired Lemania. Longines L989. 2 is decorated with Cotes de Geneve on the bridges, snail finish on the main plate and perlage with cutout in the form of the brand on the rotor. At the end of the 80s, in order to avoid bankruptcy, sales were decreasing and the production of a quality own caliber involved high costs, so they switched to calibers from other sources e.g.ETA. Why is the caliber important:ETA calibers are mass-produced while these Longines in-House movements are Limited and no longer available. The model was created by the famous pilot Charles Lindbergh, who solo crossed the Atlantic for the first time in history from New York to Paris. After returning to New York, he thought of creating this instrument watch that would facilitate the pilot's guidance in flight without communicating with those on the ground. The watch works and looks very good, sold as is. It has to be mentioned that other cheaper Lindbergh models do not have an In-House movement but a modified ETA, exemple: ref. L2.601.4 I purchased the watch on 15 April 2024 from an Italian professional dealer with 4.9/5 rating Due to rarity and no longer production, the price will only go up in the future. The invoice from the photo will be sent together with the watch, sold without profit because i sell my collection. Fast insured delivery with Fedex/DHL for 50 euros in European Union.
