Longines · Family: Spirit
The Longines Spirit L3.810.4.53.6 is the base 40mm steel reference in the Spirit collection, launched in 2020 as a tribute to the brand's aviation and exploration heritage. It runs the automatic Calibre L888.4, COSC chronometer-certified, with a rated 64-hour power reserve. Cazador has no verified price observations as of July 2026. Its differential: a bidirectional coin-edge steel bezel inspired by 1930s aviation cockpit instruments.

Longines was founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, in the Swiss Jura, and its winged-hourglass logo has been registered as a trademark since 1889 — one of the oldest watch-industry trademark registrations still active. From the late 19th century and through much of the 20th, the brand built a close relationship with aviation and exploration, timing flight records and polar expeditions, and supplying instruments to pioneering pilots.
One of the most frequently cited chapters of that relationship is the hour-angle watch designed in 1931 with input from aviator Charles Lindbergh, built to calculate position during long-distance flights via celestial navigation — a heritage point Longines invokes repeatedly when introducing its instrument-oriented collections.
The Spirit collection, introduced in 2020, explicitly revives that aviation and exploration heritage under a contemporary design language: a 40mm steel case (with 42mm variants for the GMT and chronograph complications), a bidirectional coin-edge bezel, and a transparent sapphire case back.
Inside the L3.810.4.53.6 sits the Calibre L888.4, based on the ETA/Longines A31.L01 architecture shared within the Swatch Group, with COSC chronometer certification and a rated 64-hour power reserve — figures that place Spirit in the certified, accessible-Swiss segment, where it competes directly with offerings from brands like Tudor or Omega's entry range.
Since launch, the Spirit family has grown with variants like the Spirit Zulu Time (adding a GMT function) and the Spirit Chronograph, alongside special editions such as the Prestige Edition, cementing this collection as the most overtly instrument-oriented line in Longines' current catalog.
Cazador has no verified price observations for this reference. We do not publish a figure without market data to back it; this section activates once sufficient PricePoints exist.
It's the fluted rim of the bidirectional steel bezel, a design inspired by 1930s aviation cockpit instruments that Longines uses as a signature detail of the Spirit collection.
Yes. The Calibre L888.4 in this reference carries COSC certification, the Swiss standard for timing precision — uncommon at this price segment.
Longines lists a rated 64-hour power reserve for the Calibre L888.4, based on the ETA/Longines A31.L01 architecture shared within the Swatch Group.
Longines timed flight records and polar expeditions from the late 19th century onward, and in 1931 developed an hour-angle watch with Charles Lindbergh for celestial navigation — a heritage that inspires the Spirit collection.
The base Spirit (like this reference) offers hours, minutes, and a central seconds hand with no added complication. The Spirit Zulu Time adds a second-time-zone GMT function in a 42mm case.
It carries a 100m water resistance rating, sufficient for swimming and surface water activity, though it isn't built as a dedicated professional dive watch.
