Longines Heritage Sector Dial 2019

Key Points from the Discussion

• The watch could benefit from a slightly shorter hour hand, a gap between the hour hand tip and the inner chapter ring, and a clearer Longines logo not obscured by the dial's lines.
• The contributor questions the originality of the sector dial design, suggesting some brands might be "lazy" in their design department by taking cues from others, while acknowledging uncertainty about who originated the design.
• The author clarifies that for sector dials, the hour hand is traditionally meant to reach the edge of the inner ring without extending over it, aiding legibility, and views the Longines as a faithful reissue.
• If a full '6' cannot be placed, a half marker should be used instead. The watch is otherwise nice but considered somewhat overpriced.
• The dial and handset are beautiful, and the size is excellent.
• Many different companies, including Patek, Omega, Movado, Tissot, and Rolex, produced sector dial watches in the 1930s and 40s.
