Proof is this Longines Avigation "Big Eye" chronograph.



A very nicely designed homage watch from Longines. The overall quality of the execution (especially the dial) defies the chosen price point.
In fact I would rate it equal to watches costing up to twice as much!



Good proportions with a 41 mm diameter, a height below 15 mm and a lug-to-lug width of 48.5 mm make it pretty wrist friendly.



Movement is an ETA column wheel chronograph vaguely based on the 7750 (the wobbling is present smile ),with very good regulation at +1-2 sec/day.

Wise choice to for a solid caseback with some nice engraving.



All in all a very strong offering from Longines that has very little to none competition at the chosen price point.

And yes, beyond the usual big names there are quite a few other reasonably priced and well made watches available that have an interest for a watch collector.

Thanks for looking,
Gerard

Nice! I think as a classical watch brand Longines still is underestimated. High time to focus a bit more on it ;-)

...also quite a lot of lesser attractive pieces. The overall direction of the brand was (and is) not always clear to me. Maybe they should concentrate stronger around some few core themes. Brands like Oris,Bell&Ross,Tudor have been very successful with this approach.

a superb example with this Longines...so much one gets here with this watch, much beyond the financial investment, and that's the real deal, y
