the first one is extremely well done - my liking !
thanks for sharing. Best, mahesh.,
That first one is my favorite too
Couldn't find it anywhere except here! Model number?
Good to explore the back catalog - some nice pieces there
But a marketer's nightmare - I can spot 3 or 4 different logos on 5 watches!
Wow, 1930s/1940s style sector dial chronograph with stepped Calatrava style case!
Where did you discover these and when will they be released? Nothing mentioned by Alexander Linz of Watch Advisor yet... and he is often faster to come out with news than his colleagues.
May be this time WatchProSite member is faster than them.
They will be uploaded soon. I've posted only that I liked. Do you want me to post all? Regards
the 1st one is very very appealing
Longines really hit it right with the heritage series. So many lovely reissue pieces lately. But with this new release, they make me reconsider the sector dial the Fab Suisse or the Sector dial hehe... Cheers
Yes, that's the best course indeed. The re-edition watches are always the second best, next to a near mint vintage original! Regards [nt]
But as I said earlier elsewhere, it's somewhat little difficult to maintain a good, valuable vintage watch if you lack access to a very intelligent and good watchmaker. These modern remakes are very easy with brand warranty and support. Just my 2 cents......
that would be great...
but in my part of the world, finding one is a real challenge, especially in good/ great condition
Hi, sir it's an automatic ETA movement specially made for Longines cal 888 with 65 hours power reserve.
Hope you are good and safe in this period. I don't read any news from your region, that must be good.. My best regards Pun
Thanks sir!
Appreciate the info . . . and yes, I am safe as I hope you are too, please take care!!!
I don't remember Longines making manual wind watches lately. Not even in their Heritage Range.
Another drawback to me is that their watches are very thick for their overall ambience.
Obviously they can. Perhaps they address to the crowd that like automatic more than old-fashioned manual winding watches.
They also use every opportunity to insert date window to our chagrin...
But as drhr said earlier, if it had a manual winding movement, I'd have taken it as early as it reached Market.
The automatic L888 movement is a dampener for me. Still dial has hit many right chords for me too.
They could have installed the eta 2801-2 indeed!
Any idea why they didn’t? Maybe due to conveniency especially if the watch will be worn daily. But yeah I perfectly agree with you there. Nevertheless a beautiful piece to get.
They have installed a Longines proprietary movement L888, made exclusively for the brand by ETA only.
This movement is more robust, accurate and can be manually wound as well. I've one with this movement and it's damn accurate and have good power reserve too. ...
Oh baby, what a beauty 😅
I’d love to get a vintage but a modern one might save the wait and hassle 😂
Yes, if you get them in good condition there is nothing like that. At times I think that the golden age of watchmaking was perhaps between 1940 to 1970.
The watches they made then are gems, in one way or the other, but they are really worth owning. Regards
