A gift from heaven
The new Teutonia IV Moonphase GOLD

German watch brand Mühle-Glashütte presents a limited edition 18 carat yellow gold version of the Teutonia IV Moonphase watch. Gold is a truly heavenly material. And that in the truest sense of the word! Because its origin is not on our planet. To create gold, it requires the fusion of two stars. Thrown into space, it reached us shortly after the formation of our earth and its moon. So there is probably no more beautiful material for a watch with moon phase display.

Gold is an absolutely heavenly material – in the truest sense of the word! Because the origin of the coveted precious metal is not on our planet, such as diamonds or other precious stones. The energy required for it is not available on earth or in the sun. To create gold, it requires the fusion of two highly energetic stars.

Thrown into space in the process, it finally reached the sun, our moon or the earth millions of years ago. Thus, a case made of 18-carat yellow gold provides the ideal setting for the moon phase display of the new Teutonia IV Moonphase GOLD. With a diameter of 41 millimeters, it is perfectly sized to hold a full 47 grams of fine gold.

Noble material. Finest finish

As it is typical for the Teutonia, the middle part of the gold case has a vertical graining that is applied by hand. The tops of the volute-shaped horns, on the other hand, are finely polished and present themselves in beautiful harmony with the straight-lined bezel of the Teutonia IV watch family.

The shining yellow gold case is complemented by its contrast with the matt black dial. Against the night sky inspired dial surface, applied and gold-plated indices sparkle like shooting stars, reflecting the case material just like the gold-plated lance-shaped hands.

With their perfectly coordinated length, these hands point the way to yet more gold: in the clearly marked minute graduation with gold-coloured second and minute numerals.

Functional character. Refined details

The noble case can particularly shine in combination with the black dial of the Teutonia IV Moonphase GOLD.

On this dial, it finds sparkling golden counterparts not only in the applied indices, but also in the lancet-shaped hands for hour, minute and second. Their lengths are perfectly matched to the clearly drawn minute track with gold-colored seconds and minutes numerals.

Magic complication. Realistic representation

At six o’clock, the gold-colored moon appears on the black dial as if from the depths of space. Under the specially shaped window of the dial, a moon disk measuring around ten millimeters rotates once around itself in 59 days. The golden image of the moon appears twice on it.

In this way, the lunation lasting around 29.5 days from new moon to full moon to new moon can be displayed in one-day increments. The moon itself is displayed very realistically. This is because its small and large craters were imitated in detail when designing the lunar disk.

This timepiece is powered by a reliable SW 280-1 Mühle version automatic movement, fitted with a shockproof woodpecker neck fine regulation, the matching balance cock and an efficient Mühle rotor. Once its components have been carefully finished and assembled, the movement is put to the test in six different positions and set to achieve accuracy values of between 0 and a maximum of +8 seconds per day.

LONGINES – HERITAGE Pilot Majetek Chronometer

LONGINES – HERITAGE Avigation Pilot MAJETEK Steel 43mm Chronometer - 2023

   A return to the essence of the pilot's watch: The new LONGINES PILOT MAJETEK

With the Longines Pilot Majetek, the winged hourglass brand is putting its name to the return of a watch designed for aviation and appreciated by a wider audience. 

This new timepiece combines a spirit of adventure and a historical dimension without ignoring 21%-century aesthetic and technical codes. Its bi-directional fluted bezel mounted on a cushion-shaped steel case asserts its original character and evokes the 1935 model that inspired it.

With a history of more than 190 years, Longines can draw on an incomparable heritage. The brand's iconic pilot's and explorer’s instrument watches, with their cutting-edge technical features, are the prestigious proof of this.

The winged-hourglass brand can thus offer enthusiasts of fine mechanical watches timepieces whose DNA is rooted in the characteristic aesthetics of the brand's historic models. Longines combines these with contemporary expertise, to measure time with the undisputed precision and reliability for which it is renowned. The design of the Longines Pilot Majetek is a perfect example of this.

In its first version, the curved cushion shape of its case underlines its unique design, registered on 1 April 1935 at the International Industrial Property Office in Bern, Switzerland. Although intended for aviators, this watch has in the past attracted a wider audience seeking a reliable, robust, precise and easy-to-read watch.

The technical and ergonomic features of the new Longines Pilot Majetek have been completely overhauled. Its revised proportions, original slightly curved cushion shape and more rounded lugs are in keeping with current trends. Its 43mm diameter delivers outstanding wearer comfort.

At 9 o'clock, the outside of the steel case, which has a screw-in back, is fitted with a commemorative plate marked “1935”.

This refers to the original date of the first Longines “Majetek” model, and conceals a newly patented gear mechanism. It guarantees the water-resistance of 10 bar (100 m) of the external fluted rotating bezel system coupled with the internal fluorescent mobile triangle marker, or “Starting time indicator”.

The latter is displayed below the sapphire crystal, from which it is independent, and above the dial. On the 1935 model, the bezel and the crystal with the marker rotated as a unit. On the current model, the sapphire glass is fixed and contributes to the water-resistance of the new case.

A watch with defined codes

Like watches designed specifically for aviators, the new Longines Pilot Majetek has a matte black dial offering optimum legibility. The white Arabic numerals, coated with Super-LumiNova® old radium, indicate the hours, highlighted by a railway minute marker.

Rhodium-tipped baton hands move across them. They are phosphorescent, ensuring optimal night-time legibility. The oversized small seconds dial, lowered into the dial at 6 o'clock, is a reminder, together with the fluted bezel, of the original functional character of this pilot's watch. The overall effect is well-balanced and the watch exudes elegance.

 Powered by the exclusive Longines L893.6 calibre equipped with a magnetically resistant silicon balance spring, the new Longines Pilot Majetek has a 72-hour power reserve. The entire watch head is chronometer-certified by the Contréle Officiel Suisse des Chronomeétres (COSC), an independent control body.

This timepiece has a two-stitch strap, available in a choice of brown or green leather with beige topstitching. A NATO-type strap made of polyester fibre, created from recycled materials, is also available. With its strong character, the Longines Pilot Majetek is ideal both for everyday wear and for all your upcoming adventures, at any and every latitude.
