r/Longines

What do you think about the date window matching the 6 and 9 o’clock markers?

For me this is the best watch I own, I’ve spent a stupid amount of money on straps but the sad thing is that the first strap I got for it is actually the most perfect one.

While so many people ( rightfully so) buy the new hydro models, this for me is the perfect minimalist Longines that just gets better every day.

So I walked into the Longines boutique local to me today and put down the cash for this beauty. My new daily, first watch above $3000AUD and first Longines. Absolutely LOVE IT! Conquest 38mm Sunray Black dial 🖤

This gorgeous watch is highly underrated. Hard to capture in a photo. It really catches the light. Retro cool 1950s Mad Men vibe that dresses up but is still sporty enough for daily wear. The color goes with everything. Very comfortable bracelet that is similar in feel to the Omega Aqua Terra but has the advantage of OTF micro adjust. A nice step above the Conquest if you’re looking for something a little more elevated.

Hey guys, so i’m deciding on my first automatic and Swiss watch and currently am confused between Longines Spirit Zulu Time and Longines Hydroconquest.

Which one looks better on my 6.5 inch wrists? For reference, I am 30 years old and work in B2B sales of financial products. The Zulu Time is in 39 mm, and the Blue HC is in 39 mm as well. The Grey and Black Mesh HC is in 42 mm, as they didn’t have the smaller size.

If I get Zulu, it will be in Black/Black with the (rose)gold accents or Green/Anthracite with gold accents. If I get HC, it will be Grey/Black or Blue/Blue. Maybe Black/Black for the safest option. This watch will be worn with both formals as well as casuals.

Zulu time has long lugs and the bracelet isn’t as good as the new HC though it has a more detailed dial. HC is really good for the price and looks very much like a Rolex.

This is going to be my daily wear watch. This is going to be a long term purchase so definitely something which I am going to be wearing for the next 10-15 years. I have been wearing my Seiko classic quartz for 13 years now.

I am also evaluating other options such as Omega constellation quartz, grand seiko snowflake quartz, tudor royal,oris aquis, rado captain cook and maybe some tudor black bay model (if heavily discounted last gen version is available)

Cheers and TIA!

Hello, I have bought this watch on the secondhand market and made sure to check it very well to see if it’s not fake. I am not sure if it is authentic since it had no box or papers. Nevertheless the watch weighs and feels great, but the reddish hue in the logo is bothering me, it looks worse in real life. Can anyone propose a solution to this please ?

I was able to order the new Hydroconquest and pick it up at Watches of Switzerland while I was in Vegas. Originally I ordered the 39mm but then realized it would look way too small on my 8.22 wrist so decided to cancel the order and get the 42mm variation. Very happy with my decision, and this blue is like having two watches in one. In darker lighting it almost looks black and in a brighter setting the blue really pops.

In the Milanese bracelet of the new HC (39mm in my case), are there simple push pins or are there screw pins? I see from a Reddit photo (second photo) the arrows indicating the direction from where “to push” the pin. So I ask you. Push or screw pins (or pins) for this bracelet? Thank you

Do you guys have some ideas/recommendations for additional straps? I got the beige one and the milanaise (pictures). Kinda strange, the watch is 300m waterproof and the beige strap has leather on it and is not waterproof:D

Thanks and greetings from switzerland:)

Can anyone help me identify the year and model of this vintage Longines? My bf was admiring it in an auction house in Vienna, so I secretly purchased it to surprise him on his bday and would love more information…
