Used with a sextant and a nautical almanac, this watch enables the wearer to quickly determine the hour angle from Greenwich, in other words his or her longitude. Thanks to its ingenious combination of dials, this timepiece differs from an ordinary watch in three ways: A The indications on the dial are designed in such a way that they show simultaneously the time (in hours, minutes and seconds) and the hour angle (in degrees and minutes of arc). B The rotating central dial shows the seconds and it can be turned using the crown in order to synchronise the watch with a time signal. C The bezel can be rotated to correct the equation of time (which varies from one day to the next). L614, L699 Synchronising the watch with a time signal In the intermediate position 2, the crown can be used to turn the central dial (in either direction). Pull the crown out to the intermediate position 2 and turn the central dial so that the seconds hand points to the "60/15" position on the last pip of the time signal. Push the crown back in to position 1. 3-position crown Winding (crown pushed right in) The natural movements of your wrist will automatically wind your Longines watch, which has a power-reserve of 42 hours. It is only necessary to wind the watch manually if it has not been worn for several days. Push-piece D at 4 o'clock This is for opening the case back, thus revealing the movement through a protective sapphire glass. The space/time dial and how it works The design of the whole of The Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch takes into account the fact that the Earth revolves through 360° in 24 hours, through 180° in 12 hours, through 15° in 1 hour and through 15' of arc in 1 minute. Adjusting the time and stop seconds Pull the crown right out to position 3. Adjust the time by turning the crown in either direction. Synchronise the watch with a time signal (telephone, radio, TV) and then push the crown back in to position 1. Self-winding watches 77 L614, L699 ­ THE LINDBERGH HOUR ANGLE WATCH Consequently: The hour hand indicates 15° per hour. One complete circle of the dial (12 hours) is equivalent to 180°. The minute hand indicates 1° per 4', in other words 15° per hour. Each of the 15° is subdivided into four sectors of 15' of arc. All these indications are engraved on the rotating bezel. One complete circle of the centre seconds is equivalent to 15' of arc. The rotating central dial is divided into 60'' and 15' of arc. Therefore move the marker situated at "15" on the bezel 4 graduations to the left. These graduations represent the minutes engraved around the case. Your data are as follows: Seconds hand (centre dial) Minute hand (bezel) Hour hand (main dial) As you have only turned the bezel by 4 minutes, you still have to take into account the 50 seconds (the equation of time being 4 minutes and 50 seconds for the day in question). On the central dial, the 50 is opposite 12½ Greenwich hour angle of the sun (your longitude) . [. . . ] * See table of lunar months on page 76 Add Rally function (partial times) For timing successive events but not the intervals between them. Each result will be automatically added to the preceding one. To time different stages of a car rally, proceed as follows: At the start of the first stage, press push-piece A and the chronograph will start. At the end of the first stage, press push-piece A again and the chronograph will stop. 94 Self-winding chronographs L686 ­ 24 HOURS L686 Shows the hours, minutes, seconds and date, as well as a second time zone.
