Longines Avigation Watch Type A-7 USA Limited Edition

I recently happened to visit the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C., where they were displaying the Longines watch that was owned, used, and designed by legendary American aviator Charles Lindbergh in a Time and Navigation exhibition The new Longines Avigation Watch Type A-7 USA Limited Edition is meant to remind people of the brand's past in general, as well as specifically its relationship with the United States and its military You can learn more about Lindbergh's Longines-Wittnauer Weems watch in our review of the modern Longines Lindbergh 47mm Automatic "Hour Angle" here, so let's get back to the new Avigation watch.

Longines calls this Avigation Watch Type A-7 USA Limited Edition a re-edition of a 1935 model ordered by the US military The first thing anyone will notice about the Longines Avigation Watch Type A-7 is its dial being cocked 40 degrees to one side A much closer example of such a watch was the Longines Avigation Type A-7 watch from a few years ago.

On a black distressed leather strap, the Longines Avigation Watch Type A-7 USA Limited Edition is limited to 100 numbered pieces and will have a price of $4,250. . Source
