Between the office holiday party, family get-togethers, and galavanting around town—’tis the season for leveling up your go-to timepiece for special occasions and cold weather layering. There are only so many options out there when it comes to a COSC-certified chronograph with a sweet selection of both case materials and colors. The Longines Spirit Flyback collection, with its wildly useful quick reset chrono functionality, is the perfect companion to ensure you won’t be late to any of those special events or last minute holiday sales. We managed to get our hands on three different variants and styled them for the season.
Layering up for cooler temps is all about your texture game. The Spirit Flyback in titanium (Ref: L38211532)—on Longines’ supple, military-style strap—gently nudges this chronograph into easy daily wearability. It looks and feels right at home with a heavy sweater and layers upon layers. The low-slung, late fall/early winter daylight causes the bi-directional ceramic bezel to pop off the warm tones of its lightweight, titanium case. This is the ideal configuration for urban exploration as you search for all the gifts on the list in the big city.
When it’s time to make a statement at the big holiday event of the season, turn to an accent piece that will be the center of attention. You simply can’t deny the holiday vibes emanating from Longines Spirit Flyback with its green dial (Ref: L38215532), gilt handset, and 18 karat yellow gold cap accents. When paired with a matching green leather strap, there’s no classier way to show off your holiday spirit. This statement piece doesn’t just complete the ensemble—it makes it.
After all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, there’s nothing better than relaxing in your favorite pair of blue jeans. The classic, blue-dialed Longines Spirit in steel (Ref: L38214936) is the equivalent of your ideal denim on wrist. Its particular hue of blue, with matching ceramic bezel, transforms it into a casual, daily wearer—custom made for long walks, a cup of joe, and that paperback you’ve been putting off all year. When all of the other Flybacks say go, go, go—this one says it’s okay to sit and stay awhile. And thanks to its comfortable stainless steel bracelet with Longines’ interchangeable system and simple push-piece opening mechanism, the Spirit Flyback is a grab and go watch that can complement anything and everything. No big decisions necessary—the ideal way to wind down the rest of year.
