Charles Lindbergh was an American aviator that in 1927 completed the first non-stop flight from North America to mainland Europe. It was also the first trans-Atlantic solo flight. He won the coveted Orteig Prize for this feat and was awarded $25,000. In 1931, Longines created a watch for Lindbergh that featured an hour-angle to assist in his navigation. The watch offered here is a re-issue of that original watch and is encompassing of the history of aviation and Longines' heritage.
