Guest HaloArchive Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 What are all of the unnecessary numbers for?
fotoman Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Posted April 15, 2009 What are all of the unnecessary numbers for? No idea isn't it cool?
freddy333 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 That is the craziest watch I have ever seen. Even the numbers on the 'Crazy Numbers' watch make sense (once you figure it out), but this is ridiculous.
Agrippa Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 What are all of the unnecessary numbers for? From this place: "Framed by its stainless steel case of 47.50 mm of diameter, Longines' Lindbergh watch shows the hours and minutes with a pair of blued steel "Breguet" style hands plus the seconds on a white lacquered dial, protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Along with black painted double minute track and Roman numerals, the dial features twelve blue painted Arabic numerals serving to calculate and display longitudes. The seconds hand is synchronized to a radio time signal via the silvered rotating center dial featuring a black painted double minute track and red numerals. The blue and black Arabic numerals engraved on the case's rotating bezel serve to adjust it to daily variations in the equation of time. This model is equipped with an L699 selfwinding mechanical movement beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and providing 42 hours of power reserve. A hinged and engraved back cover can be lifted to reveal a transparent sapphire plate through which the movement's sparkling dance can be observed." Rather cool in my opinion, even if the funtions are more than a little superfluous for most.

dluddy Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 And here I thought the Navitimer were busy dial watches Cool looking though
emuozz Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 I don't think they rep this, because you need a seagull or eta 2892 to get the same aspect and to get same functinality the movement should be modified as the gen.
