The Longines Avigation Type A-7 in a 41mm case is a pilot-style wristwatch with design cues rooted in aviation history. The model is inspired by a 1930s military chronograph originally commissioned by the U.S. Army Air Corps. The designation “Type A-7” was reserved for watches that met specific military standards for legibility, precision, and functionality in flight. One of the most distinctive features—retained in this modern version—is the 40-degree rotated dial, which allowed pilots to read the time without letting go of the aircraft’s controls.
At its core is the Swiss-made Longines Calibre L788, an automatic column-wheel chronograph movement developed exclusively for Longines. It supports a central chronograph seconds hand, a 30-minute counter, and a date function, all controlled by a single pusher integrated into the crown—another nod to vintage chronograph designs. The Avigation Type A-7 is a contemporary interpretation of a historically significant pilot’s watch.
This excellent example presents as new and comes as a full set with both boxes, manual, stylus and cards.
