The perfect size for me. I was gonna get the new Legend Diver but at this price, this Conquest at 38mm is the more logical choice for me. I'll definitely go see them.
Why? Do you have wrists like a 12 yr old girl! This is direct result of “D.E.I.” First Tudor and now Longines? The new BB54??.. GHAY! Soo GHAY! Full of GHAYness Why is it that all of a sudden all theese Napoleon Girly Boys now want to wear a nice watch?
A Longines is certainly a fitting retirement gift, no doubt. Such an impressive and storied history which informs their truly amazing current collection portfolio. Underrated beyond belief this brand.
@@TeddyBaldassarre I will Teddy and I saw the video with you and Kevin O’Leary at Longines in Aventura which is not far from my house. I will be going there.
I have written many times on the Longines official website saying CONQUEST is your carrier and accessible series, you should definitely make it in 38 mm. And they did. Congratulations.
Unbelievable stretch of releases we are seeing from them. I didn't even mention their flyback and the new central power reserve. Giuseppe Miccio, the head of product, deserves a lot of credit for simply getting what collectors want.
@@TeddyBaldassarre not pretending to be watch expert but i may understand and appreciate quality , and i owned many tissot and longines through my watch collecting journey among other swiss brands ( 30 + years) . and those 2 brands stood the test of time for design and quality . they don't get the kind of recognition they really deserve. and i wonder why ?
@@AMAMBT They´re part of the Swatch Group and the company decided to place them in their current market segment. The quality and price of the current catalogue is intended to compete with Tudor and similars, and not invade Omega´s space.
@@AMAMBT Swatch group owns Longines, Tissot, Omega amongst other big watch brands and they just want it that way. Most of the market is hype based, imo paying 4.000$ for a 40 years old datejust is insane, considering you can have a Longines, Tissot or Omega for 1.000$ at most.
I wasn’t sure if I would go for this one or the hydroconquest gmt but the second I saw the green dial version in person, I instantly knew that this was the one. I’ve had it for 5 days now and I honestly can’t stop looking at it.
I am by no means a watch expert, but through your videos as a novice I've understood so much to fall in love with them over the last year. Have yet to pull the trigger on a first, everyday type watch but the Conquest 2023 38mm is by far the biggest standout in my eyes. So happy they added this size. May need to spoil myself with this at some point. 👀
I am pretty sure I was one of the people commenting about the need for a 38mm variant. I tried the blue 41 on and while it fit my 7 inch wrist fine, I'd really prefer a bit smaller. It's good to see Longines finally came through. The champagne dial doesn't do much for me, but I like literally every other color available. This really is a good value in that dressy sport watch area. It's 1/3 the cost of the Aqua Terra, and certainly much more than 1/3 of that watch. The Aqua Terra is an excellent watch (my father has the 38mm variant), but the lack of micro adjust can be levied against that as well. Would it be nice if the lume was a bit better? Sure, but at least there is lume. This isn't the kind of watch where you're always depending on it after hours in the dark. Kudos to Longines for another release proving the brand is moving up in the watch world. Thanks for doing a video on this one, as I hadn't even heard about this release.
I primarily collect green dials. Green dials make up the majority of my collection that aren't Casios, though I do have a green CasiOak G-Shock and a green non-G "Real CasiOak."
I had bought the 41mm version of this with the green dial before the 38mm came out. The size definitely was the only reservation I had about it, but it was still within an acceptable proportion to my 6.5 wrist and so I went for it. Turns out I quite liked the fullness of it and still to this day marvel at how amazing of a watch it is. All this being said, I'd get the 38mm 😂
Hi - by any chance do you know if you get the full 72 hours reserve on a 40 complete wind? I don't get anywhere near that. I get about 40 hours. I just sent it back for repair. Love the watch, but am a bit disappointed on the reserve.
Spot on Teddy - I was so close to buying this one but, being an Omega fanatic, I went with the saffron Aqua Terra...that being said, dollar for dollar this might be one of the best options in the under $4000 price point. Nice job Teddy as always!!
Thanks for this video, she decided to buy the blue version in 38mm. My critaires were: waterproofing, size 36 or 38, the screw-down crown , protection couronne , date, simplicity of the dial, a little luminescence , and especially the weight contained 121gr despite the bracelet steel fine and comfortable with its two half links. It’s more comfortable than my 2000 Tudor hydronaute and more durable than my 1950’s Omega seamaster. And all this 3 times cheaper than the Grail Rolex 36mm. I love small watches on my wrist 7" 18 cm. A good watch for everyday life .

Longines is doing an incredible job. The updated versions of the hydroconquest and the conquest are hands down the best updates I’ve seen of any watch.
Absolutely phenomenal watch. I assure you the video doesn't do justice to how amazing the watch looks in reality. You have to see it for yourself! I just bought the white dial version, absolutely 0 regrets. This watch is 100% worth it especially if you don't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money but still want to get a great watch.
Beautiful watch and it indeed ticks all boxes. Finally watches are available in normal sizes. It's also nice to have a selection of various colours. My favourite is the blue and the Champagne but I like all these colours...Actually the green looks also very nice.
Finally a Longines with adequate lug-to-lug distance... This is a Datejust or an Aquaterra for $2000. Looking forward to get the champagne version, amazing!
@@drkesrf then you can go with zulu gmt I guess. I like this this two-in-one functionality as the bezel is gmt is not often used so replacing with diver bezel seems a good idea in my opinion.
Longines is killing it to the point, that it could very well be the only entry level brand to build a complete collection that doesn’t have garbage in it
I have the rectangular Dolce Vita and the 39mm Legend diver. I sold my 1918 Heritage because I didn’t want to have 3 Longines and shut the door on other brands. But honestly can easily collect only Longines. They have at least 5 of my favorite designs: their tuxedo dress watch, the classic sector, the heritage military… they release one stunner after another
I love my 41mm with a 8.5" wrist but appreciate the proportions on the 38mm. Only thing I was disappointed with is the fitment of the pins in the bracelet. The one I received I had to add links to and you had to mix and match pins/links to find a combination where they all fit tightly.
I would really appreciate to see the black date wheel on the green dial model. The white one pops too much IMO. But that's neatpicking. Incredible release 😊
I really want to get hands on with it somehow because typically I hate the polished center links style bracelet like this. Really wish there was some aftermarket support here.
Love this release, I would get the green dial. My only gripe is the lug width, why 19mm? I like to swap straps frequently and all of my other watches (all 38 or 39 mm), have 20mm lug width so I have probably 30 straps in that size, and zero 19mm.
Longines is really coming out with releases with arguably the best value proposition for mechanical watches: the Legend Diver, Conquest, HydroConquest, Spirit, and so forth. Now this new Conquest at 38mm with a display case back, and all the refinements - very tempting. Just waiting to see if the HydroConquest GMT will come out at 38-39...
The small size train keeps rolling and is picking up steam! I got on board a year or two ago. I have two Longines dress watches with aviation watch elements incorporated into them that I love. Both are 38mm and are starting to seem big! I kinda wish I could shave 1mm off of one of them and 2mm off the other. Oh well. I love your videos Teddy!
yes. tissot powermatic 80 movement is 2824 based. longines L888 is 2892 based. different tiers. 2824 and SW200 are usually in 1-3k watches. 2892 and SW300 are usually in 3-8k watches. so it's quite a good value here.
@@richardlocke7264 no, the gentleman has the C07.811, not the C07.111. the .811 has traditional escapement and silicon balance spring. Only the .111 has the "high tech escapement" (i.e. plastic)
It is great value when one considers the long term history of the brand. The lack of an on the fly adjustment on the bracelet (as executed so brilliantly with the IWC PILOT XX but at twice the price) might be a deal breaker for me....but I will certainly be visiting my local dealer to see and feel the watch on my wrist - that's the moment.
A 43mm version next would be nice :) especially for us with larger wrists since there aren't that many watches in that size if you're aiming for a dressier look, at least to my novice knowledge
Tbh, the main setback in my opinion on the new conquest is the water resistance, which has dramatically decreased compared to the previous version. Other than that, it's a gorgeous watch
Excellent video as always. This was helpful. I've been wearing watches for awhile but recently been looking at Hamiltons and Longines. It's kinda funny, when I've been wearing Seiko and Citizen for decades, I always found 40mm or 39mm watches which fits me perfectly. Now as I look at mid tier and above, I can never find the perfect size for me lol. Its always 38 or 41! That's ok though, I'll just have to try a 38, at least with Longines (since their lugs are SO long). Thank you for displaying the Silver dial. Didn't see it anywhere else on YT. I think it looks great. Also, hoping the ligher color looks bigger for my tastes. Though its a shame I can't get the Green or Blue in a 39mm! If only lol
I own three Longines watches currently and sold a fourth which I regretted doing. I can’t think of a single brand right now where there are so many different references that I want to own.
I knew Longines was going to release it in 38mm. Can’t wait to pick one up for myself if I continue to work as a Longines AD, if I get accepted to that new fancy job, maybe I won’t and just pay off my seiko first haha.
A very nice offering at a good size. My only issue is the butterfly clasp. Microadjustment is so important/useful, and to have to rely on removing half links is just too inconvenient. 19 mm lug width is not ideal, but sometimes the design warrants it. So, not that bothered by that.
I wish the oris big crown was in 38mm (with the metal bracelet). You can just get the 40mm with metal bracelet 😢. I am now more tempted to go for this, I just really don’t like going 39/40+
Ask and you shall receive... Green is the standout in my opinion. I do wish it had a normal clasp with on the fly adjustment though. Overall, these are fantastic watches.
Longines is on Fire. Quality, heritage, looks and class.
I was waiting for this size to come out. Finally Longines did it!

Ditto!!! 🙏 Have been wanting to buy Longines for a long time and this model was 'it' until the size.
Me too. But I wanted a brown one!
This one's a real winner for all the reasons you noted. Now we want to see a redesigned Longines Hydroconquest diver in 38-39!
👍
yeah, they should remove the 12,9,6 numbers, otherwise its kinda perfect
No it’s not a winner. It’s shite with no on the fly micro adjustment.
39mm slim diver

@@sagoamicably6486 Thanks good to know.
It is great value when one considers the long term history of the brand. The lack of an on the fly adjustment on the bracelet (as executed so brilliantly with the IWC PILOT XX but at twice the price) might be a deal breaker for me....but I will certainly be visiting my local dealer to see and feel the watch on my wrist - that's the moment.
This is a very good Polerouter alternative if they have omitted the crown guards and dateless??
I really enjoy learning from your videos. Would you cover the Longines Conquest Chronograph?
A 43mm version next would be nice :) especially for us with larger wrists since there aren't that many watches in that size if you're aiming for a dressier look, at least to my novice knowledge
Tbh, the main setback in my opinion on the new conquest is the water resistance, which has dramatically decreased compared to the previous version. Other than that, it's a gorgeous watch
Excellent video as always. This was helpful.
I've been wearing watches for awhile but recently been looking at Hamiltons and Longines. It's kinda funny, when I've been wearing Seiko and Citizen for decades, I always found 40mm or 39mm watches which fits me perfectly. Now as I look at mid tier and above, I can never find the perfect size for me lol. Its always 38 or 41!
That's ok though, I'll just have to try a 38, at least with Longines (since their lugs are SO long).
Thank you for displaying the Silver dial. Didn't see it anywhere else on YT. I think it looks great. Also, hoping the ligher color looks bigger for my tastes.
Though its a shame I can't get the Green or Blue in a 39mm! If only lol
How much of a difference in dial legibility is 41mm versus 38mm?
I own three Longines watches currently and sold a fourth which I regretted doing. I can’t think of a single brand right now where there are so many different references that I want to own.
I knew Longines was going to release it in 38mm. Can’t wait to pick one up for myself if I continue to work as a Longines AD, if I get accepted to that new fancy job, maybe I won’t and just pay off my seiko first haha.
I'm happy to rock the green 41mm. I do love 38mm size watches, but this watch act great in both sizes.
A very nice offering at a good size. My only issue is the butterfly clasp. Microadjustment is so important/useful, and to have to rely on removing half links is just too inconvenient. 19 mm lug width is not ideal, but sometimes the design warrants it. So, not that bothered by that.
I wish the oris big crown was in 38mm (with the metal bracelet). You can just get the 40mm with metal bracelet 😢. I am now more tempted to go for this, I just really don’t like going 39/40+
Ask and you shall receive... Green is the standout in my opinion. I do wish it had a normal clasp with on the fly adjustment though. Overall, these are fantastic watches.
Good review again. Nice watch - love my 37mm Champagne Spirit. Get going 🚀
i have had the 41mm in white since the beginning of the year and i think it is simply beautiful. 😍
i have a diameter of 19.5
Okay Longines let's do a 38mm GMT next!!
There is Zulu 39mm
@@daboebay87 I meant a 39mm of the HydroConquest GMT
