First:
I like the watch.
Second:
Gerard, you purchased a great watch.
The sectored 3 is an Omega sign in small capital.
The brushed case is fabulous.
The size, spot on.
The antimagnetic Eta movement is a win win.
An ideal entry for the people who wants to go into serious good watches.
I think nobody can get wrong with it.
For me there are a few things which had be better.
Not the cut off 6 at six.
Me with a perfectionist personality, weights all on a balance, so only the perfect watch is a watch i buy.
Sometimes it sends me to above regions of haute horology and smash me into worlds like Vacheron Constantin and JLC. Longines is lucky, i wil squeeze one eye close for some little mistakes.

It is interesting for you to mention Omega: I always think that you get 80% of the Omega quality for 40% of the price (and I am a big Omega fan...).
W Omega

The last letter of the Greek alphabet. The Ohm sing is the capital Omega. A w looking sign is the small Omega. The number 3 turned 90 degrees clockwise is almost a perfect small Omega. If Longines hint to Omega, i do not know, but i interpreted it as a li...
I just checked the entire collection 2 hours ago.

I would even say that there is no other piece from their collection even close to this one. I would call that dial even shiny and the hands are just perfect, too. So i cant wait for their marine nationale to show up - maybe this one can compete with this ...
The strap is perfect for this piece!

Longines hit a homerun with this one! Love the color of the strap and the way it goes so well with the dial.
This is a beautiful one!
