Swiss luxury watchmaker Longines has officially expanded its Spirit collection with the launch of its new Longines Spirit Pioneer Edition. The lightweight and luminous timepiece offers fans of the brand a more sporty version of its already released Spirit Chronograph.
Unlike the original model, the luxurious watch features a striking green and black color scheme and removes the second crown and date window. In addition, the watch comes with neon green stitching and green Super-LumiNova hour markers and hands.
Otherwise, the watch maintains the brand's grade 5 titanium 42mm case, which houses a matte black dial and COSC-certified automatic column wheel movement. The watch's movement boasts an impressive 66-hour power reserve and silicon balance spring. The Spirit Pioneer Edition chronograph is set to drop sometime this month.
