Longines Spirit Flyback titanium model
Longines, a pioneer of pilot watches, launched a titanium model of the Longines Spirit Flyback with a flyback function this fall. Combining titanium-derived lightness, high design, and precision, it is one that is also active in the business scene.
The Longines Spirit Flyback features a satin-polished 42mm case with an anti-reflective coating and a sapphire crystal dial. The gold-colored hands and indexes are coated with Super Minolba for excellent legibility.
The “flyback” in the product name is a complication mechanism that smoothly and quickly measures the continuous time intervals of a chronograph. Unlike traditional chronographs, where the second hand must be stopped, reset, and restarted, the flyback function allows the hand to instantly return to the zero position and start measuring again with a single push button.
The movement is equipped with the Longines Exclusive Calibre L791.4 with an antimagnetic silicone balance spring. It has a power reserve of about 68 hours. The caseback is see-through, so you can enjoy the movement of this movement.

Jin’s “356.FLIEGER. KLASSIK. JUB」
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 356 series’ regular service, the German watch brand Jin has launched the 356.FLIEGER. KLASSIK. JUB” will be released in October in a limited edition of 500 pieces.
The model features a dial decoration, with the words “FLIEGER KLASSIK” at 6 o’clock and the applied Sinn logo at 12 o’clock. In addition, two silver-matte counters were incorporated into the bicompax, and the hour, minute, and second hands were rhodium-plated and luminescent paint to improve visibility.
The caseback is made of sapphire crystal. Non-reflective coating is applied to both sides to create a dome-shaped finish, ensuring visibility even under dazzling light.
What’s even more noteworthy is the use of bore leather for the strap. The leather finished with nubuck has a gentle velvet-like texture. The unique expression stands out from the eye, which is a good accent for the watch.

Orient Star’s M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase
Orient Star will release the new M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase on Thursday, October 26, in a limited edition of 350 pieces.

The dial of this model expresses the night scene of Lake Tazawa near winter. The brown dial represents the surface of the lake at a quiet night, and the silver moon on the moon phase disc represents the moon floating behind the clouds.
In addition, the high-performance movement unique to the M45 collection is also attractive. The automatic movement uses the in-house F7M65 calibre, which has a power reserve of more than 50 hours. The beauty of the movement visible from the see-through back of sapphire crystal is exceptional.
The band incorporates crocodile skin to create a sense of elegance and luxury. A metal band is also included, so you can change it to your liking.

Seiko Prospex Landmaster 30th Anniversary Model
“Seiko Prospex” will release a limited edition of 1,000 pieces of the “Landmaster” model that represents the field watch on Friday, November 10.
The case of this model uses pure titanium with excellent corrosion resistance. In order to further enhance durability and beauty, a diamond shield is applied to the surface. The double rotating bezel with a simple compass, which symbolizes the Landmaster, is also impressive.
The dial expresses the scene of the “highest peak” that adventurers are aiming for with a blue gradation. At high altitudes, where the air is thin and there are no diffuse reflections, the sky above appears dark even during the day. As the altitude gradually shifted to dark blue as if the universe could be seen through, he compared it to the shade of blue that gradually darkened from the 6 o’clock side to the 12 o’clock position of the dial.
The movement is equipped with “Caliber 8L35” made by Shizukuishi Luxury Watch Workshop. High precision and robustness are attractive, and it provides outstanding performance even in harsh environments.
The bracelet features an adjuster function that allows you to easily adjust the length. It is designed to be worn over warm clothing.
