Additional lume pic

Thx for the kind words! Yep, it's a new watch, was my own Christmas present...;-) After some Longines sports watches I focused on the Heritage line and fell in love with this reissue of the Ref.5774 since a first teaser was shown here on WatchProSite in May earlier this year. The watch comes with a brown leather strap and pin buckle. To increase the authenticity like the original MN I ordered a green vintage leather strap by a custom strap maker via Etsy. The yellow stitches fits exactly to the dial colour. The case size is 38.5mm (the original Ref.5774 was 33.5mm) but unfortunately I have to admit that the lume is very weak. No comparison to the modern HydroConquests of the same company and almost too weak to take a picture:

But all in all I'm very satisfied with my first "vintage" watch. It is very comfortable to wear and I like the clear reduction of the simple 3-hand watch of the past. Cheers from Germany!

Happy Holidays - Keep the memories!

First time we see such a Longines Heritage here I believe. I particularly like the big crown, the special seconds hand as well as the fauxtina on the hands which is quite bold and a first as far as I know depicting aged radium. Your wrist should be safer ...

The custom strap is a great addition - colours are spot on indeed

Love this re-issue. Enjoy it in good health 👍

You always have something historical and tasty for us, from your cavernous storage room As a side note, it is interesting to see that the historical piece shares a characteristic with its reinterpretation: the minute track is not quite at the edge of the ...
