    Well done Tom. Longines are not only great watches but that heritage and back catalogue give the brand a vast amount of options for new re-introduction models. I love the sector dial, my preference is the white - cream dial and the Big Eye is my most at a glance readable chrono that I've seen. I could add many other models to my list but that would be out of scope of this video. Many thanks for sharing Tom.

    My very first entry-luxury was a Longines Flagship. And I am still wearing it now. The caliber L888 (not the COSC grade) is superb. I tracked the watch within 20 days and its accuracy was +5 spd, very close to the COSC standard.

    My watch was purchased 2 years ago from MaMaCoo and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.

    I love this brand. I have the Hydroconquest 41mm blue dial with the ceramic bezel insert. I've had it for over a year and the accuracy is spot on and it's not even COSC certified. I feel it's one of the most under rated Swiss time piece.

    My first ever Longines is the spirit zulutime 42mm. I love the way it looks. Unfortunately the qc demons from my seiko collection cant stop trolling me because my one and only Longines has a qc issue on the 1 index of the 12 o'clock. It has bad lume paint so that when i view my watch in the dark, this number 1 is glowing weaker compared to the rest of the indexes of the watch. I dont really have an easy option to replace the watch since it is a gift my wife bought me on her vacation to korea 😅. So i will just have to live with it.

    It seems we’re all fans of the Flagship but wow! so many firsts this company has historically. I quite like that black faced chronograph. Do they still use the 7750 calibre in their chronos?

    • @davidforman6191

      They use a variety of 'exclusive to Longines', ETA movements I believe. So they are prefaced with L before the number now. My chronograph is L688. the Spirit Flyback is L791. Not sure about other chronos in their range.

      I have a FC GMT Yacht Timer and a Longines Master Small Seconds, and I would say that they are pretty close. Longines are perhaps simpler and more refined with history, but I love my FC. The watch finishing is probably not quite up to Longines, but the dial is wonderful. Both are great companies.

    As a seasoned watch enthusiast myself I enjoyed the video too. Longines is a bit of an underdog but not for long...
