I don’t know if you remember me. Used to talk a few years ago about watches. I just bought the 39 mm auto version of this with the 72 hour reserve. I LOVE this watch. Best thing I ever did. So neat to find your review! Have a good one
@No1fibersplicer thank you for your reply 🤟 I will buy it too, seen or on someone's wrist and it looked better than some Omega models, seems balanced. Also the 2021 Silver Arrow for it's simplicity 👌 and minimalist elegance.
Now that is a nice strap. Thanks for the review Guideaux, and the justification. I agree entirely, owning more than several quartz watches myself. Saves on additional winders too!
+Brian Hinder Cheers Brian, I really enjoy the watch and on the Hirsch even more. I had someone writing to me a few months ago that told me that he couldn't keep any mechanical watches because he is a mountainbiker and everytime something happened with the movement after a few tours on his bike...logically from all the continuous shocks.
It has suprised me beyond belief... a great and strong watch with a quartz movement that is (like a GS) less than 5 seconds off in a year! No lume but with just 1 ray of moon or sunlight you can tell the time. Classy...just the 21mm lugwidth is a bit weird...but a 22mm strap fits fine. I love my trusty Conquest. Longines has much longer history than Rolex and should get more credit for what they produce.
A very good non biased review .The mechanical watch servicing part made sense. I'm looking to buy the same watch too. Looking forward to many more great videos.Cheers .
Thanks Yepeto! It is a great watch and I wear it very often. The Quartz movement is perfect...not even 1 second off after 2 months! Enjoy the vids! New ones coming soon.
Thanks for the video! I have the same watch, I wanted to sell it and keep only my automatic, but I saw how well it looks with the Hirsch strap, so I'll keep it!
Wasil Qayyum what are your views on the silver dial after 2 months? I’m on the fence between either going with the black dial or with the white dial or silver dial.
Daniël Granja Baltazar I absolutely love it! To be honest black wasn’t really a consideration for me because the hour marks are painted, whereas the silver and blue have them raised. I really like the sunray effect on the silver dial. Please note that this is my first silver dial watch so perhaps that may also be a reason for my preference!
Wasil Qayyum thanks for the quick reply mate! Seems like I have to try the silver and white dial ones in the metal soon. Especially curious to see how the silver dial one looks in real life.
+Simon Crane Look at their heritage line, Only Patek philipe have more classic pieces than Longines My favourites are the Lindbergh the Weems the A7 the Lindbergh The Single push piece doctors Pulsometer bi compax chrono the Classic WWII tachymetre chronograph (one of the first with Universal and Omega) the Avigation GMT the 24Hours with Onion crown the Longines Heritage Diver 1967 the Racing Chronograph 1973 the 1935 Avigation piece in fact they have so many that they can't release them all at once, they rotate the lineup.
How's it's going ?) I understand your point, you have a great piece of horology in your hands, Longines is an excellent brand in quality and Swiss tradition, I understand that you prefer the quartz movement since it gives you less complications in the long term, that is, it will never need maintenance, I respect a lot that but I definitely prefer a mechanical movement call me a fool, but a mechanical movement will last a lifetime therefore I will be able to inherit it from a member of my family I don't know but I am more traditional, as for this piece it is a marvel good construction and 30 Bar of resistance because you can not ask for more, the screw-on crown for greater impermeability is a great piece, I know because I have a Longines Conquest automatic 41 mm and I love my watch. Cheers ⚔️💯👍🏻⚔️
Good vid. Got the same model nearly bought the Hydro version though, but got other diver's and the wife suggested to get something more suitable to wear with a suit, and this is a beaut of a watch. I agree with you about the strap looking at it with a Nato on your vid and it does look good - way to go I think.It is a strange one its sold as a sports watch, yet no lume and they make it waterproof to 300m very odd. If they had given it lume would have been a good cheap Rolex Explorer alternative...
+JPW Photographic Studio Yes I also frown why they call it a sports watch. Silver dial, not too many numenrals. 300m water resistance is just awesome for a watch and imo any daily wearer should have a wr300m. It is currently my only quartz watch and I love it. Very good to read the time in low light conditions due to the silver hands. Overall a great watch and a perfect beater in a collection.
Great watch! I'm Japanese so I like Japanese watches. But I would rather buy Longines than buy the other Japanese watches. Because it's cheaper than Grand seiko and cooler than G-shock lol I will buy Longines conquest quartz!
太郎 Seiko is probablybthe allround best brand. Id love to get a GS. This Longines is just amazingly simple, beautiful and mpre accurate than a radio controlled watch (1sec/3mnth)
Guideaux Pelagos Yeah GS is one of the best watch. Is that Longines so accurate? Great, Actually I don't like radio controlled watches. Longines is great watch I really want to buy!
Now Longines has the same watch but 43 mm. I've the grey blue. L3.760.4... The eta quartz movement might be better, too. I think it's from the flatline.
+EDC Gunner Haha I almost bought a hydroconquest and after some talk almost was tempted to get the automatic until I remembered I wanted it as simple as possible. Did you buy a Hydroconquest or another watch?
+Guideaux Pelagos (Revelation) Its my Favourite brand!!! since they are well known for complications (like Zenith) I am saving for a chrono or Moonphase from them.
+Amateur Watch Collector Yes, there is something about silver that makes it more versatile then black (which is already pretty versatile). I chose to get the simplest longines without bezel etc. I really like it!
How's it's going Guido ?) I found your review very successful in general, I consider Longines to be a great heritage brand, I like its timeless designs, but for now I want to buy a Longines Conquest automatic but I don't know which size to choose, 41mm or 39mm, I have a thick wrist 7 and a quarter inches, which size would be the ideal or adequate to choose?) Thx .
I tried both watches in at my local AD last month. For your reference: my wrists are 6.25 inches. I found the 41mm automatic too wear slightly too large for my wrist. The 39mm fits me perfectly. I would say this watch wear slightly larger than the diameter suggests. So the 39mm wears more like a 40mm, while the 41mm wears more like a 42mm. Go with whatever size you like (I don’t think the 39mm would look small on a 7.25 inch wrist).
Such a nice timepiece!!! Im interested in getting one, but i'm concerned if it wears too big on the wrist. I just have seen this watch on videos and images and I gotta say that for a 41mm it looks kinda big, I have a 7 inch wrist and I own some smaller watches, my biggest watch is probably a Hamilton seaview 40mm (I like that size) but as I said for what I have seen my concern is that it wears/look too big on the wrist.
Watches can not really be too big for the wrist at all imo... as long as the case hugs the wrist it isn't a big deal if the watch looks a bit bigger. Anno 2018 that is fine. I rather wear a 48mm watch than a 34mm... it comes down to preference by the wearer.... as long as the watch doesn't go "dancing" around the wrist it is ok. I have a 7inch wrist and it wears wonderful. The only thing is the lug to lug...which is 21mm meaning you will less options changing straps...however I wear mine on a 22mm alligator strap and I prefer it to a 21mm because it makes the strap a bit tougher... Anyway...just go into a jeweler and ask if you can try it on. It is a great watch! Don't listen to the people talking wrist size etc...if it fits you well...get it...it is the most accurate watch I own. (It only takes a new battery every 1,5 to 2 yrs though).
I don't think you'll have any trouble. I'm not a big bloke, and it looks fine on me. Having said that, my wrists are 20cm, so that may be the reason. Conversely, I thought a 23x30mm Cartier Tank would look ridiculously small, but it doesn't. There's only one way to find out, and that's to try it. If _you_ like it, then that's all that matters. Good luck.
Hey, Nice one week review. What is that strap? Can you please post the link in the comment? I have same problem with that clasp, it digs into my wrist and not comfortable. I am in USA. The dial of my watch is 41mm and lug is 20mm. Please post a strap link so I will try to get that strap. Thanks.
The strap is a Chritoher Ward (Bader Buckled) alligator strap that I got in a 50% sale at their website. I also had it on a light brown ostritch strap which also is gorgeous. At the moment I have it on a mesh (see collection 2018) and I think it looks best on that. I ordered it on Alibaba for 25 usd and it certainly is a wonderful bracelet for the watch. Mine is 21mm lugs so I was happy to find the right size. When it comes to leather straps though one can just use a 22mm strap (with 21mm pins) and squeeze that in...the strap in this video is also 22mm. (it actually seems to sit better than a 21mm...but that is personal).
This may sound a strange question, but bear with me: how long have you worn it for? If you've only had it a couple of weeks, then swap the bracelet for something else for a while, and then try again. I know it sounds absurd, but that's exactly what I did, and when I put the original bracelet back on, it was perfect. My doctor explained that our wrists can swell slightly from time to time, and this could be why you're finding it uncomfortable. It may work and it may not, but it's worth a go. Hope that helps.
Both are wonderful, imho Longines has a bit more history and accomplishments as a brand and still makes real quality watches just a notch above Tissot. But one cannot really go wrong with either.
+nav san I will make a collection video this or next year (depends if I do it With or without the Seiko). The 410 would pricewise not be attractive I'm afraid. Prices seem to go up for a mint English version.
21mm....but any 22mm leather strap will fit fine (better imo). As long as you don't go 20mm. Aliexpress has really good straps for a very good price in 21mm.
Very hard to find an English speaking review of this watch, thanks 🙏 much appreciated
Glad it was helpful!
I like Longines as a brand and like their classy look.
+Jebemite De La Pizzara I am really suprised by their style and class. I dismissed them before, but they are actually pretty cool!

Nice piece . must admit I looked at longines the other week and was pleasantly surprised at the quality.
+Simon Crane Look at their heritage line, Only Patek philipe have more classic pieces than Longines
My favourites are
the Lindbergh
the Weems
the A7
the Lindbergh
The Single push piece doctors Pulsometer bi compax chrono
the Classic WWII tachymetre chronograph (one of the first with Universal and Omega)
the Avigation GMT
the 24Hours with Onion crown
the Longines Heritage Diver 1967
the Racing Chronograph 1973

Nice clean dial and it looks good on that strap
+lord david Thanks mate, I really adore that Hirsch strap, it has been on 5 watches already (last on the Aramar until I send it to Simon).
Love the watch. It feels your need for a good Quartz so hopefully you go for a mechanical GS when and if you decide
+ADRIQOS Haha cheers mate, yes I will certainly think about once I am financially prepared for it. ;-)

I got this watch and i feel like to sell it. But i dont know the market value for this watch
300 and you will sell it soon
is this a 41 or 44 mm case model?
I believe it comes in both sizes
For me also the case back was irresistible
Seldomly that nicely and deeply engraved.
Tissot or Longines which is good quality
Both are wonderful, imho Longines has a bit more history and accomplishments as a brand and still makes real quality watches just a notch above Tissot. But one cannot really go wrong with either.
