I love seeing these vintage reissues, but I do wish the watch was a manual-wind. Longines have some nice offerings based on old designs from their catalog. While the Legend Diver is my favorite, I also like the Heritage Conquest models. Cheers, Daos
Agreed, Daos.

Much better as a hand-wound. Imagine if they started up 13ZN production instead of And without any reference to C Lindbergh....winning the Orteig prize is admirable, but he was a creep.
A new 13ZN would be hot!

I know a lot of folks around here would be jonesing for a well-done reissue of that piece (including me)! Great minds think alike! Any more dives scheduled? I'm awaiting my next underwater photo fix! Cheers, Daos
Was supposed to...

...do a double on the J4 (WW1 submarine) last weekend. (Google "J4 26m submarine") But the dive charter cancelled all dives outside the heads due to weather. Annoying, as the day turned out to be perfect. Am booked in for a couple on the 28th. J4 and Kelp...
wonderfull watch !

a bit big ( 42 or 44 would have been better) but I would wear it ;-) But they should introduce a nice movement again (something like the 13ZN). I don't like automatich ETA's in that kind of watches This message has been edited by Bruno.M1 on 2010-02-17 09...
Love it!

I looked at this watch last weekend and it is lovely, but very, very large. It also has a three part strap that has two buckles that is a bit funky, but vintage I was told by the salesman.
Interesting design.....
