Chronometer (aka yacomino) introduces his latest acquisition, the Longines Sector Dial, a piece he's long admired. This article delves into why this particular Longines model, alongside his beloved Tuxedo Dial, holds a special place in his collection, offering an intimate look at its appeal and performance. His post sparks a discussion among collectors about Longines' vintage-inspired offerings and movement quality.

This is my second Longines, after the tuxedo dial which I enjoy immensely. I have always loved their sector dial and not sure why I did not get it sooner. Here are two quick pictures but will post more soon!

Key Points from the Discussion

The Longines Sector Dial, while housing an ETA movement (a special version for Longines), features a silicon balance spring, contributing to its impressive accuracy of +/-2 seconds per day, which is exceptional for its price point.
Longines has excelled with its vintage-inspired releases, and an enhanced focus on movement finishing could broaden their appeal to a wider range of collectors.
The acquisition of the Longines Sector Dial completes a 'twin' collection for the author, drawing parallels to other collectors' pursuits of complementary watches, such as an Omega Globemaster and CK.

Longines really did well with these vintage inspired releases. If they spend a little more effort on the movements, I think they will appeal to more collectors. Congrats Mr Strap Master 👍🏻👏🏻🍾🥂

While it’s a ETA model (apparently a special version reserved to Longines) it was fitted with a silicon spring. Don’t expect good finishing at this price point but my Tuxedo is +-2sec/day which is excellent and unexpected!
