Silver Arrow

The Longines Silver Arrow draws inspiration from the brand’s 1950s original, celebrated for its clean lines and aviation-inspired design. This reissue captures the spirit of the mid-century model, blending vintage cues—like the sharp, faceted markers and crosshair dial—with modern reliability. Collectors value this watch for its faithful homage to the original, making it a compelling choice for anyone drawn to Longines’ heritage-driven pieces.

The current Silver Arrow (reference L2.834.4.72.2) features a versatile 38.5mm stainless steel case and domed sapphire crystal, offering contemporary wearability while preserving the vintage proportions. Inside, the proprietary caliber L888.5 automatic movement delivers a practical 72-hour power reserve and silicon balance spring—details that boost both everyday usability and long-term value. Water resistance is rated at 30m, in keeping with its dressy, retro character.

Pricing varies based on condition and completeness; full sets with box and papers command a premium, especially early production runs. The Silver Arrow’s value is driven by its faithful design, modern movement, and limited production compared to Longines’ mainline models. When shopping, check for the correct brushed silver dial, engraved caseback with the supersonic jet motif, and the original leather strap for maximum collectibility.
