Longines Expeditions Polaires Francaises — Missions Paul-Emile Victor

Longines Expeditions Polaires Francaises — Missions Paul-Emile Victor (Ref. L2.732.4.76.X)

In 1947, the French government sent several expeditions to explore both North and South Polar regions of Earth. Somehow missing the 60th Anniversary of the events and not willing to spend three more years waiting for the 70th Anniversary to happen, Longines has presented its vintage-styled Expeditions Polaires Francaises — Missions Paul-Emile Victor (Ref. L2.732.4.76.X) just for the fun of it.

Longines Lindbergh's Atlantic Voyage chronograph

It is not the first time that Longines brushes off some dust of its vintage-styled Charles Lindbergh chronograph model. First introduced in 1933 to mark its collaboration with the famous aviator, the Lindbergh's Atlantic Voyage (L2.730.4.11.0) was re-issued several times with some minor tweaking to its vintage-style dial layout.
