Die Longines-Uhr der Expéditions Polaires Françaises – Missions Paul-Emile Victor
Unter der Leitung des Naturwissenschaftlers Paul-Emile Victor organisierte Frankreich 1947 eine Reihe von Erkundungsreisen in der Arktis und der Antarktis. An diesen Expeditionen nahmen Geologen, Geodäten, Meteorologen, Physiker, Biologen, Geographen und Glaziologen teil. Ihr Ziel war die Entdeckung, die Untersuchung und das Verstehen der Pole. Zum imposanten Material, das zur Erforschung dieser unwirtlichen Gegenden benötigt wurde, gehörten bei den ersten Missionen von Paul-Emile Victor vier Longines Bordchronometer und fünfzehn Longines Armbanduhren, die man damals zur astronomischen Positionsbestimmung brauchte. Zur Erinnerung an diese Forschungsmissionen gibt Longines nun eine Neuauflage jenes Zeitmessers heraus, mit dem die Wissenschaftler der Expéditions Polaires Françaises – Missions Paul-Emile Victor ausgerüstet wurden, als sie zur Entdeckung von Grönland und der „Terre Adélie“ aufbrachen.
