Our take on the Longines Spirit Prestige Edition 42mm Men's Watch

The Longines Spirit Prestige is a 42mm automatic pilot-style watch with a round steel case, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and interchangeable straps. It carries Longines' modern Spirit line, which pairs vintage aviator looks with a COSC-certified movement and a long power reserve. At $1,730 at WatchMaxx.com as of November 5, 2026, it sits well below the Spirit line's typical new pricing, so this is a strong entry point for a Swiss automatic.

Questions and answers

Is the Longines Spirit Prestige worth $1,730?
For a Swiss automatic with sapphire crystal and Longines' Spirit-line finishing, $1,730 at WatchMaxx.com as of November 5, 2026 is a competitive price. Comparable Swiss pilot watches often sell for more.
Is 42mm too big for a daily watch?
A 42mm case fits most wrists from about 6.5 inches up. If your wrist is under 6.5 inches, try it on first, since pilot watches wear large.
Does it have a quartz or automatic movement?
It uses an automatic mechanical movement, so it winds itself as you wear it. Expect a power reserve of roughly 60 to 70 hours depending on the exact caliber.
Can I change the strap?
Yes. The watch has interchangeable straps, so you can swap between leather, rubber or a bracelet without tools on most Spirit models.
Is it water resistant enough for swimming?
It is water resistant, but pilot watches of this type are usually rated for everyday splashes rather than swimming. Check the caseback rating before taking it in the water.
When is the best time to buy?
Grey-market and discount retailers like WatchMaxx.com often undercut boutiques year-round. Watch for holiday sales, when the $1,730 price may drop further.
