A couple months ago back in June Longines released something that came as a surprise to most of us in the industry, as well as enthusiasts who follow developments quite closely. Longines is known for creating very accurate reissue watches pulled from their massive catalogue of historical productions, just like their Heritage Central Power Reserve […]
Hands-On Friday With the Longines Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve
It’s finally Friday and I’ve decided to sit back and tell you all about my experience with the new Longines Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve after spending two weeks with it on and off wrist. In my experience, Longines is a brand that has the capability of executing a watch design to perfection, but they […]
Longines Conquest Chronograph Watch Review
The Longines Conquest Chronograph might just be one of the most frustrating watch releases of 2023. Behind a perspex screen at a shop, this thing looks like a Daytona for the masses. But when you try it on, you’ll find out that it’s too big and thick for most wrists under 7.25 inches in size, […]
Longines Hydroconquest GMT Watch Review
Founded in 1832, Longines has been providing the watch world with affordable luxury pieces for centuries. And in 2007, the company created a game-changing piece- the hydroconquest. Fast forward to today, and Longines has just released a new GMT version of the beloved Hydroconquest, and spoiler alert, this piece is unbelievable. Keep reading to find […]
Longines Record Automatic Chronograph L2.921.4.56.2 Watch Review
A mechanical watch – even an inaccurate one – is a work of art. That’s why people pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a watch that’s less accurate than a cheap Casio watch from Walmart. At the same time, is it really too much to ask not to have to reset the time once […]
Longines Spirit Zulu Time Collection Review
Every once in a while, a watch comes along that’s bold and unique enough to make a powerful first impression. The Longines Spirit Zulu Time Collection is one of those watches. This is part of Zulu’s larger Spirit line of watches, which rank among the most popular, reliable GMT watches on today’s market. It’s a […]
Longines Avigation BigEye Titanium Ref. L2.816.1.93.2 Watch Review
The story Longines Avigation BigEye Titanium begins in the 1930s. At some point in that decade, the original BigEye was made, but nobody knows exactly when or for what purpose. Its existence only came to light recently, when a collector contacted Longines for information on a 1930s Longines watch. Lo and behold, Longines had no […]
Longines Legend Diver 42mm Ref. L3.774.4.50.0 Watch Review
The Longines Legend Diver Ref.L3.774.4.50.0, or “LLD” for short, is a contemporary redesign of a venerable old classic. In the late 1950s, Longines released the Nautilus Skin Diver. This was their response to an explosion of dive watches at the time. Indeed, the period from the 1950s to the early 1960s gave us some of […]
Longines Spirit Prestige Edition Watch Review
I love a brand new watch, whether it’s a microbrand, tool watch, or haute horology. I love to get my hands on them, learn about them, talk about them, and wear them. But sometimes, the most exciting watch isn’t actually new. Sometimes, it’s a reissue of an already beloved vintage watch. Such is often the […]
Longines Heritage Classic Sector Dial Watch Review
As a little kid, I was a bit, ahem, obsessed with cars. Glancing out the window from the backseat of my parents’ car, I used to mentally recite the model, brand, and year of every vehicle we passed by on the streets. Now, as a well-adjusted adult just mildly enthusiastic about watches and operating systems, […]
