The Longines Pilot Majetek Pioneer Edition timepiece is an updated version of the brand's namesake watch model that's crafted with a modernized aesthetic in mind. The timepiece is powered by the COSC-certified Longines L893.6 Caliber automatic movement with 72-hour power reserve to ensure precision timekeeping during everyday wear. The watch is observed with its 43mm case, which is crafted out of grade 5 titanium that reduces the overall weight by 1.77-ounces for a 2.77-ounce total to not add too much additional heft to the wrist.
The Longines Pilot Majetek Pioneer Edition timepiece is limited to just 1,935 pieces as a nod to the original 1935 model. Priced at $5,000, the watch is slightly higher in price than the stainless steel model that comes in at $3,750.
