The Avigation Type A-7 is one of those rare modern watches that manages to feel genuinely historic. Inspired by Longines’ military chronographs of the 1930s, originally designed for pilots who needed to read the time without removing their hands from the controls, its signature tilted dial and oversized onion crown remain as distinctive today as they were nearly a century ago.
This limited edition of just 100 pieces takes that aviation heritage and wraps it in a wonderfully charismatic package. Equal parts pilot’s instrument and conversation starter, it combines vintage-inspired design with modern reliability, resulting in a watch that feels every bit as adventurous as the originals, without requiring a biplane license!
Please refer to the high-resolution pictures to assess the condition of the watch.
MODEL / REFERENCE: Longines Avigation Watch Type A-7, reference L2.823.4. Limited edition of 100 pieces. Complete full set in from 2019. Inventory Code: DW-04.
DIAL + HANDS: Beautiful fumé grey dial with a finely grained texture and the iconic 40° tilted layout characteristic of the Type A-7. The vertically stacked chronograph registers create a highly distinctive display, complemented by painted luminous Arabic numerals and elegant white leaf-shaped hands. The dial is exceptionally well preserved and free from noticeable blemishes.
CRYSTAL: Sapphire crystal with antireflective coating, in excellent condition.
CASE: The stainless-steel case measures 41mm in diameter and 49mm from lug to lug. Faithful to the historic military design, it features drilled lugs and a large onion crown positioned at 1 o’clock for optimal ergonomics. The mirror-polished surface remains in excellent condition with only the faintest signs of handling.
CASE BACK: Signed stainless-steel pressure-fit case back. The engravings remain crisp and well defined, while the surface shows very few light scratches.
