The Longines Pilot Majetek 2023 is a PERFECT pilot

- The Longines Pilot Majetek continues the brand's high-flying heritage. From measuring Lindberg's first transatlantic flight to the monopusher chronograph worn by Amelia Earhart and the Weems, Longines' tradition of pilot's watches is a storied one. By the time the 1930s rolled around, Longines had developed a simple system for tracking time in the form of an arrow that rotated with the bezel. You could align it with either the hour or minute hand, using it to keep a record of departure time or the time of a change incourse. In 1935, by order from the Czechoslovakian Air Force, Longines created the ref. 3582, with the same moving marker, in a cushion case. It is this very reference, and the engraving "Majetek Vojenske Spravy" ("property of the military administration" in Czech/Slovak), that gave rise to the Majetek model, now reincarnated in the Longines Pilot Majetek 2023 reissue.

Great looking watch. Really impressed with Longines lately.
Great-looking watch, but I fail to see why the 40mm size of the original wasn’t large enough.
I'd love a 39mm field or pilot watch with that bezel - something that Hanhart inexplicably offers only in 42 mm size. Come on Longines!
I like this very much. This really needed to get to 40mm D and 47mm L2L.
I was born in Czechoslovakia, and I love how clearly and correctly you spelled "Majetek vojenské správy", and I love the fact that Longine used this "Majetek" word, which sounds like Major Tech, giving it a great new meaning...
I love your channel :)
I ve had them for 4 months. Majetek looks great and fits like a part of a body. For my surprise, it does just a minute "plus" for a month. Looking forward for next years.
I love it, this is what I was waiting for! I almost purchased a Heritage 1935, which was also issued for the Czech military originally, but I didn't like the date complication there. Also, most of the brands goes to smaller sizes, but Longines keep something large for big guys as well. I will buy it once available here. Great video, as always.
I love it!! ❤
god i just love Longines understated elegance... this watch is stunning. absolutely love the bezel. damn you Longines--- my collection has quickly developed into a longines collection...
Just love it.
If a Seiko Samurai and Panerai Luminor had an aviation vintage baby.
Like that they use a silicone spring. If they charge a premium it's nice to know they are making an effort. Same way with their high-beat movement in the Ultra Chron.
Amazing looking watch. I’d like it to be a bit smaller for my tiny, limp wrist. Great job Longines.
Interesting watch. Definitely. Well done Longines. Except the price...
I think this is a nice watch. I like the design for sure
But, it’s a bit big/thick, I like the look of the bezel but not keen on friction prefer a clicking bezel. I like the hour markers crisp raised and nice faux patina, I would have kept the second subdial the same colour scheme myself. Good movement for sure. Quite pricey
I think it’s a niche watch which will appeal to certain people but not mainstream.
I like it a lot but not enough to buy it
Nice wall clock.
damn...that's nice
Great looking watch. I love the size (I have 2 Breitlings).
It would have been good if they printed ‘Chronometer’ on the dial
Spot on! Proves less is more keep the dictionary for the book shelf not the dials. Ok is not exactly like the original and for that I understand some are disappointed however then you need a replica or an original a tribute or remake should be wearable, reliable and useful.
Longines Samurai 🗡🤺
I love cushion case design with coin edge bezel. I just wish it was smaller overall and the bezel wasn't so thick. The proportions seem off.
It looks really nice. But i am really torn with buying this or propilot x calber 400. Even you can buy gs SBGM221 gmt at this price point.
No idea why they feel a need to link this to a specific vintage piece. The original was “close to 30mm” this is 43mm. They’ve given in crown guards, changed the hands, 22mm lug spacing…… 36-40mm would have been plenty.
Longines and Oris for that matter to be looking to enter Tudor’s market. That price of almost $3800 is right in-line with Tudor pricing, it will be interesting to see how this is received. The big 43mm BB’s are cool, but they’re big, a bit clunky and slab sided. Maybe they were looking to appeal to that buyer rather than someone more interested in a Ranger or BB58.
The original was sized at 40mm! Certainly oversized for its time
I see, I misheard the video. Yes, a 40mm watch would have been quite large for the time indeed. I wouldn’t be surprised if it used a pocket watch movement. One version I found had wire lugs.
That aside, all the more reason to have me scratching my head - why wouldn’t they go with a true to size and better proportioned 40mm?
@@waterfordrs22 I think it has to do with the bezel mechanism, the bezel have teeth underneath that drive a shaft which connect to the pointer bezel inside the case, which prevent the top part of the case (crystal housing together with bezel) turns and became a weak point for water resistant while the solution used in this watch only requires gasket in the shaft just like the general internal rotating bezel diver watches and its extra crown. The shaft mechanism contained in that 1935 plaque, thus the diameter.
Bloated monsta!
You are talking about two different sets of customers. Those that want unique style watches vs Poor man's rolex.
It looks great but it’s too big for me, if they make the lug to lug shorter I would get it.
Great-looking watch, but a bit too big. For that kind of money, I still prefer a vintage Omega 2292 RAF 159 or the HS/8 with true flying heritage.
Thanks for the nice review!
Beautiful, but need a hand wound movement.
Wish it was 41mm like the original, not even larger. I get "pilot" watches are big on average, but still.
It looks as if it was designed by committee - take an archive design, modernise it & then a group of managers want their say in the design: “how about faux patina?”, “can you make it larger?”, “how about adding crown guards like they did to the Air King?” etc
39-40mm with lug-to-lug under 50mm would be killer.
My Question is, why would you buy this when the Ultra Chron is a much better "heritage " watch?
The answer is because
£3500 though? That’s a big chunk of change for a Longines. Is it me or are watches just getting silly money these days?
I like the case shape but it’s too big
My eyes hurt
Is it just me or does it resemble a Panerai?
Rolex and Blancpain "got" the rotating bezel from Longines.
What the?! Where did this piece come from? Longines to Tudor, "I see your P01, and I raise you a Majetek." Longines busy pumping out the whack pieces no one is asking for.
Hahahahahahaha!!!!
If it was a 40mm itd be great
I'm probably in the minority, but bring on the big watches. Not all of us have small arms.
This is Longines' equivalent of the Black Bay P01 : cool but weird
How much Thank you😂
Not sure about this one…That coin edge bezel, the case shape…don’t know
Its truly a reissue, a watch from the 30's and a size from the 2000's. Not sure why it needs to be 43mm - its not original to the design or the times, then or now.
This looks as if a designer quit their job and another designer with a completely different taste in design had to finish the job.
Haha. Great comment. 👏
I totally get what you mean but I still like it.
It looks like sexy Frankenstein 😁😁👌👌❤️
I fucking love it though. It's epic
You sound like a guy with a tiny wrist.
And here!
Best looking longines watch. But damn! Toooo biggg… too thick… what were u thinking? Just remove that rotating mechanism & crown guard, and make it small & thin.
I prefer the original.
It’s the watch I wanted, but not how I wanted it I guess? It feels a little too far removed from the original design for my tastes.
Meh......wait till Longines announces the Majetek "black ops" edition, another few variants in different dial colours, you've already got a "limited edition" variant. Next up will be a collaboration with various companies...etc...etc...
Almost $4K? 🤦♂️🤦♂️ too big too expensive. Nice try. Keep it original size and under $3K.
43 mm and bulky crown guard, what a joke
Too big
Another vintage inspired watch too big and too thick compared to the original model. A waisted opportunity.
I like Longines, but this watch is a minger.
Too bulky!
Too big and bulky
43 👎🏻
Too big😮
Watch is over priced.
just overpriced.......
Boring just like the ranger from tudor. Nothing spectacular on the dial happening . Pleas make color dials
Not a fan of this stule but the moving market is cool
Beautiful dial hands but very ugly case
