A remarkable modern reissue, this Longines Swissair reference 6603 pays tribute to one of the rarest and most historically important pilot’s watches of the 1950s, with fewer than 100 examples of the original ever produced. Longines has remained faithful to the design language of the vintage model while enhancing it with contemporary materials and manufacturing techniques.
The oversized 47mm case reflects the robust proportions of classic aviation watches, built for absolute legibility in the cockpit. An onion-style crown underscores its utilitarian purpose, designed for effortless adjustment even while wearing gloves. The dial retains the clean, highly functional layout of the original, offering a direct link to its Swissair heritage.
This example is offered in excellent condition, with only the lightest signs of wear, and performs beautifully both aesthetically and mechanically. It comes complete with its original inner and outer boxes, instruction manual, and warranty card dated 6/24/15 , making it a superb opportunity for both collectors and enthusiasts of aviation history.
