Introduction of New Longines Avigation BigEye Chronograph Blue Dial Watch Replica

Longines had released the Avigation BigEye Chronograph (steel case with black dial) in 2017, and now the brand presents a new model (L2.816.1.93.2). For the first time, the new model features a titanium case with a petrol blue dial. In addition, the new Longines Avigation BigEye Chronograph blue dial replica L2.816.1.93.2 is equipped with a silicon balance spring and column wheel mechanism and comes with a five-year warranty.

History

The design is based on a 1930s pilot’s chronograph that a collector presented to the Longines museum, but the company didn’t have a record of the piece in its archives. Is it a prototype? What’s the exact year? Nothing is truly clear but what makes no doubt is the beauty of the piece in question, hence why Longines was audacious enough to make a re-edition of this model.

Fast forward to 2017 and the Basel watch fair and Longines presented its Heritage-based Avigation BigEye replica. Typically, a robust, military-inspired pilot’s chronograph with tri-counter layout, classic luminous Arabic numerals and, the star of the show, an oversized minute counter providing instant legibility on the indication.

The Case

Design-wise and in terms of specifications, there are no major updates to mention here. Basically, the elements that made the success of the stainless edition of the replica Longines Avigation BigEye have been kept in this new edition. As such, we find back the same 41mm diameter, an approximate height of 14.5mm and a 20mm lug width. The case has a typical military shape, with flat coin-edge bezel and oversized pushers and crown, making sure that it can be used with gloves. The case has a robust shape and isn’t the smallest of the collection, however, the lugs are rather short. It is topped by a box-shaped sapphire crystal and water-resistance is rated at 30 metres.

What’s new, however, is the material used to make the case. Still featuring a combination of brushed surfaces and polished accents, the copy Longines Avigation BigEye is now also available in grade 5 titanium. Being a fairly imposing watch, the use of lightweight titanium will certainly increase the comfort and, for adventurous wearers, it will also be more resistant to scratches. The caseback, while also made of titanium, retain the same engravings with an old-school plane.

The Dial

The most important update on this new replica Longines Avigation BigEye Titanium concerns the dial. Here, the brand frees itself from historical accuracy and brings a far bolder, but also rather attractive blue dial with gradient effect. Indeed, not only the surface now has a granular texture but the colour also darkens towards the periphery of the dial. The sub-counters are still executed in black with a concentric pattern. The sandblasted hands as well as the large Arabic numerals are all largely filled with luminous material, here coloured in an intense cream colour for a stronger vintage effect.

The Movement

Hidden underneath the nicely decorated closed case back of the Avigation BigEye replica is the calibre L688.2. A column wheel-based chronograph movement the L688.2 operates at 4 Hz and offers a power reserve of around 54 hours. The movement also comes equipped with a silicon balance spring for better magnetic protection.
