The new ‘Flybacks’ make a statement in sleek chocolate brown and forest green, combined with steel and 18-carat yellow gold or steel and 18-carat rose gold crowns and pushers. Designed as aviation watches, they offer top-notch performance with a self-winding mechanical movement, chronograph complication with flyback function, and domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. Plus, they’re water-resistant up to 100 metres. While initially made for the skies, these timepieces work well on your adventures on the ground, too – and pair perfectly with your cool-weather wardrobe.

If you’re leaning more towards understated sophistication, the reimagined ‘Zulu Time’ fits the bill to a tee. Crafted from Grade 5 titanium – robust yet lightweight – the watch marries style with high tech features. Peppered with many of the same premium qualities as the ‘Flybacks,’ the multiple time-zone watch is powered by a COSC-certified, exclusive Longines GMT calibre chronometer, ensuring the ultimate precision. Complete with a matte black and intense polished black ceramic bezel, this watch complements any attire.
