SILVER ARROW

LONGINES SILVER ARROW breathes life back into a model characteristic of the 1950s: a resolutely forward-facing time when race cars and supersonic aeroplanes appealed to the imaginations of young and old alike.

It is this futuristic spirit that inspired the original design of the “Silver Arrow”, revisited in away that is loyal to the brand’s Heritage pillar. Driven by an exclusive self-winding movement fitted with a silicon balance-spring, the LONGINES SILVER ARROW comes with a five-year warranty.

TRIBUTE TO INNOVATION SPIRIT

Resolutely minimalist, its silver opaline dial features striated indexes – like the original version – and sword-shaped hands, and both of these features are coated with Super- LumiNova®. The absence of a date display and of a “self-winding” indication contributes to its understated character while maintaining the spirit of the original timepiece.

This timepiece features a box-shaped sapphire glass with a multi-layered anti-reflective finish, as well as a screw-down back engraved with the “Silver Arrow” emblem. A matte brown leather strap with a soft texture and vintage finishes completes this elegant composition.

The “Silver Arrow” adventure began in 1955. That year, Longines held an in-house contest to find the name for a new timepiece with an avantgarde design. A name emerged that was based on one of the 450 proposals: “Silver Arrow”, a reference to the famous sports cars that dominated the racing circuits of the era.

LONGINES SILVER ARROW resurrects a model from the 1950s, a staunchly forward-thinking era when race cars and supersonic flights captivated the minds of both young and old. The initial design of the “Silver Arrow” was inspired by this futuristic energy, which has been revived in a way that honors the brand’s Heritage pillar.
