#OMEGA #longines - Zábava
You are my go-to when it comes to watch reviews cos you are the ONLY ONE who does the secret measurement(dial diameter). It really helps esp if one has a slender wrist ie 6-6.5 inch! Keep it up!
I absolutely love the new conquest. I've been looking for something similar to an AT or OP for a more affordable price. I just wish Longines would stop releasing their new watches in a large size first before they release a smaller version. I am 100% certain my next purchase will be the smaller Longines conquest, but only if they release it in the semi-near future.
That 41mm is really annoying. If this was a 37-39mm, I would have been queued up for this one. Love these new changes.
Longines will probably do a coupe sizes. 36-39mm coming up!
@@EscapementWatch I will be first in line on the day that they do! Fingers crossed 🤞
Most Big brands especially mid tier are completely ignorant about sizes , they still live in 2000s
Yup. It's too big.
They'll eventually release smaller size. Look at the spirit and Zulu's
*ABSOLUTELY STUNNING* I've been drooling for the past 7 minutes watching this video. I love that brown dial! I am in process of moving some other watches on and this just took 1st place for my next acquisition. Sadly, Longines is sometimes overlooked by many. Hopefully this will get the attention of some of those people, it deserves it.
It's not sad that Longines is overlooked because it means retailers will offer discounts to canny buyers like us! 😃
@@tancreddehauteville764 Touche- very good point. I stand corrected 😁
I would definitely appreciate 39mm version with all date discs in the same color as it's dials.
there is a 38 mm coming out
You make great video's I have to say 10/10! really appreciated you putting the watches on the timegrapher. What a watch, I think Longine are going from strength to strength and this looks gorgeous, and the price is great for the what you get, unbeatable in this price range. I'll get the green one used. One thing I like about Longines is they listen to the watch community on sizing, just look what they did for the legend diver, say's it all really about Longines having the finger on the pulse.
Thanks! I did take a look at the new 39mm Legend last week as well. Love it!
Excellent video and photography! I actually like the brown one the MOST of the five variants!
I've tried on the blue one and it's really nice. I'd love to see a 38.5 or 39mm model like they had in the old version, but this is a great alternative to the AT at 40% of the cost. That ring around the dial really catches the light nicely. It's all about those details. Although I liked the toughened Explorer vibe of the previous Conquest, this one is much better for most people and it's better built.
Yes next year expecting the 39mm version to do very well!
Agreed; 38mm would really make this a winner!
Wow, awesome video, the watch is a stunner! I hope they give us a smaller sized one as well. Right now it's too big for me. The pictures don't do this watch justice, it looks much better than I thought. I had a hydroconquest 41mm but returned it since it was too big. Really a fan of Longines. As you said, their movements are silky smooth. Operating them is a real pleasure (even with the thorny crown on the HC). Seeing the redesigns on conquest, then HC GMT makes me hopeful they will update the base HC as well. Or make a smaller conquest. And fast! My watch mania might make me buy the Rado Captain Cook before Longines makes a move! 😅
This one will look smaller than the HC because they changed the lug design
I guess the only thing I'm not a fan of is the ar on top of the case and the 21mm lug width. Not the biggest fan of butterfly clasps but not a deal killer. I love the brown dial. The amount of lume doesn't bother me since I won't be looking at the watch in the dark. Love the overall offering
really love the video title, I keep eyes on aqua terra 38mm shades recently, but this one is a true alternative. Hope the smaller version 36-38 rolling out soon would be a perfect!
I love this new look! I've never been a fan of the arabics. 41mm is the perfect size for me. I have the blue Aqua Terra world timer and the green 41mm. This is in my wheelhouse for sure. 👍
Thanks for sharing!!
Beautiful watch and video!
As a 6’5 dude I’m glad this is 41mm. I think they will release this in a smaller version for others though. It’s a great watch
Really love the conquest!!!!
This watch is absolutely gorgeous. I recently bought the 38mm one in blue while trying an omega aqua terra. Its a fantastic watch worth every penny as dressy as Rolex datejust as sporty as aqua terra a watch that does it all
Nice watch. 41mm is perfect size.
This is beautiful, it has lost a bit of sportiness but added a lot of class. This watch is a home run for me. I'll be going for the 42mm chrono variant, it's just fantastic.
I like what they are doing here. Excellent video broski!
I also have this watch, I like it very much and it is definitely very good quality. I am happy with the 41mm size. Maybe it would be better if it was 40mm, but you should also take into consideration its compatibility with the bracelet.
absolutely gorgeous in golden brown.
This watch in 36-38mm would have me thinking about selling most of my other watches for it. I think if i had a 36mm green, i wouldn't wear much else. Gorgeous watch.
Thought those were screws at 3:10 at first…must be pins with a split looking like screws. Like this review overall. Thanks for all the work u put into these reviews so we can experience some interesting watches vicariously.
I really like this Longines. Its a stunning watch. Now that you mention it, it does give Aqua Terra vibes
I wanted to put Rolex in the title to attract more views but I couldn't find a relation.
Contrasting date disk is a buzzkill for me. Love the brown dial too. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I'd say it even gives VC Overseas vibes 😏 especially the blue!
I don’t really get the hate for pin adjusted bracelets. Never had an issue with any of my pin bracelets, but I have had screws start to back themselves out if I don’t loctite them. I don’t like pin and collar systems, just because they are kinda annoying to resize.
I guess it is because it doesn't feel premium luxury to have push pins.
Push pins are the safest way to hold the bracelet together. I also don't understand why people prefer the screws because usually you size your watch once and that's it.
I agree. Split pins are easy to size and very secure.
My first lux watch
Glad you enjoy it!
I love my 39mm Hydroconquest.
Hopefully longines read these comments as this watch would be perfect at 39mm
My first proper watch was a Tissot. I like it but 42mm is to big. Should have been 36mm-37mm
Hey brother i need a help with my watch i need your assistance to help me what i. Can do so the problem is my watch is Seiko 5 automatic 23 jewels water resistant but the main problem is the watch hand aren't moving they are just not moving the speed regulator worked for just 5-6 seconds i accidentally touched and moved it so there are no Seiko showroom near me i would love if you help
Hope to see a 38mm
Love it! Like your title states, this watch gives off AT vibes without the AT price. Tbh though, when I add a Longines to my collection, it's probably going to be from their master or heritage collection. There's just too many good references in this collections to ignore them
You have to get more then 1
@@EscapementWatch Agreed. Too hard to select. I like the way you think ;)
For me personally the shape of tge side profile seems too flat. At least a domed christal would had fit better I think. The 41 is not for me. But 41 means, there will be a 39 or 38 next year.
I own the Spirit 37 and have no issues with the push pins because they were easy to use and once the job was done they are quite confidence inspiring. Well I may be wrong about it as I am no native English speaker, but I believe "indices" are the plural of "index", hence it should be one "half-index" instead of "half-indice🤔
Yeah I've been told indices is incorrect way to say it. But sounds and feels right lol. I started saying marker instead ;(
You said that the bracelet does not have screws but in the close ups you can clearly see them...Am I mistaken? Thanks for the video as always
Yes they do look like screws in the close up. They are split pins and that is the split in the pin. They are large high quality thick pins.
Thanks
The size is too big for men but even if it was smaller the clasp is a big no go. No micro adjustment or better yet 'on the fly' adjustment is a deal breaker in 2023 on a sport watch.
Just saw it in a store. The bracelet seemed to have screws, not push pins
Yes they look like screws. But I tried with my thinnest screw driver and it didn't work. Then noticed the arrows....and hammered it out. It is a split pin. The split part makes it look like a screw.
Waiting for 39mm
The blue is my choice the date stands out better anti glare on the outside is a worry
Like most of the other comments needs to be 39 to 39mm for me
I just got this and it seems like the date is off centered inside the date window lol im losing my mind
Very retro looking color.
Indeed!
39mm and on the fly adjustable clasp please. Longines is killing it lately!
I’m confused. The bracelet shown in the video has screws but is described as a negative with push pins holding it together. Are the push pins made to look like screws?? Or are you showing a bracelet from a different watch??
They look like screws but that's just the split pin.
I wish it was 39mm and a fully brushed bracelet
The Nautilus uses push pins, I don't see the problem. It's more secure than screws, just trickier to remove a link.
yes nothing wrong with split pins, they are the easiest to remove. Pin and collar is the one most people complain about.
36mm and 39mm would be perfect for all. Something that Omega got right with the Aqua Terra and Tag Heuer with the Carrera. I always laugh that Rolex can't figure out mid size watches LMAO!
I was thinking that, I wanted to purchase the Tag Heuer Carrera Date 36mm. Do you think it's a good watch for my first luxury watch collection?
Yes, absolutely if you can get a great deal. At least 25% off. Or buy lightly used one.
@@EscapementWatch thank you so much for the advice.
I wish they released a 39mm with rubber.
So don’t put money in the right pocket, put it in the left pocket;
Both pockets belong to the Swatch Group.
41 mm is nice cuz the watch is really thin😁
Needs to be under 40mm..
the case feels wide and flat, I own both a datejust and an AT. If the cases edge tapered down more it would be more appealing and a definite competitor to the AT
Beautiful but too big. Should be 38mm
I've been using this watch for 4 months and it really only deviates by 1 second a day.
Size and bracelet are killers for me. Come on, no micro adjust, pitiful. The brown is killer though but a pass for me.
39mm and 37mm version please !!!!!!!!!!
It does not exist yet as far as I know. Next year they should come out.
@@EscapementWatch my 6'' wrist only can handle under 39mm size and under 46mm lug to lug :(
38 mm is out.
Maybe If it was 38,5 like my silver arrow …
Silver arrow is nice! I looked at that last year.
I’m in love
isn't it great!
@@EscapementWatch in my short watch collecting journey, I’ve broken free of collecting seiko, no matter how good they are. But I have not been able to launch into that Tudor, omega realm yet. Longines is that great in between that will put a smile on my face.
typically for watches in this tier, it will always be pins. unless it's a micro brand where they may give you screws. so it is a con, but not a con.
41 mm is just too big for a dressy watch like this. I don't get why they didn't realize this during the design phase. It should be 36-39 mm and not bigger. The fact that more or less everyone says this shows you what a dumb deciscion it was to keep the large size. 41 mm worked with the previous iteration since that had a more rugged, explorer vibe going on - but it doesn't work with this design. If (or when) they release a 39 mm version I'll order one immeiately since it's a gorgeous design though..
Omega Aqua Terra and Grand Seiko SBGR309 are high end dress watches that are 41 mm and 42 mm, respectively. It all depends on wrist size. A 38 mm version of this watch is now available.
Impossible to cross-thread? Literally? I gave away my old conquest because it got cross-threaded…. Did they fix something? The L888 was cool. Still is. I don’t care about pushpins much, but hate the butterfly; could never get a good fit on mine either.
Yes I unscrew and screw the crown in and out about 50 times per shoot as I set hands back to 1010 every couple minutes. And I also actively see if I can cross thread it. This one was unstoppable and smooth no matter how hard I tried.
@@EscapementWatch nice!! Wonder what they did, and if there was a known problem.
I tried one on is Las Vegas and the case has Rolex vibes
Many are saying it’s too big, but maybe your wrists are just too small?
Looks good, but it also looks similar to the Master Collection.
Unpopular opinion: bracelet tapering to 16mm looks like an old man watch.
Longines can’t help themselves, The dial would be beautiful but those lume pips at 1,2,4 etc are horrific. How do they get so close to brilliance then ruin it and don’t get me started on butterfly clasps.
How is a sapphire crystal roughly equivalent to Hardlex. I don’t care what instruments say, Hardlex is not near a sapphire crystal. Sapphire is the state of the art. I wish phones used sapphire screens.
Sapphire is much higher then Hardlex. However, I said this sapphire has AR coating on the TOP! Which can scratch. The AR coating has the roughly the same scratch resistance to HARDLEX. So you sapphire will 'look' scratched even tho it is just the coating. This is common with top coated sapphires. I prefer undercoated sapphires for the perfect look forever!
@EscapementWatch Okay. I agree. Misunderstood what you were saying.
no problem
I still prefer the previous 39mm Conquest Automatic with 300m WR. More sporty & elegant than this new version with only 100m WR and is now much more expensive. Why?
Inflation! That's why!! Which planet have you been living on for the last two years? What has water resistance to do with price? You can get 300m WR from a quartz Citizen for $350.
Nice, but their movements can't compare to Omega's Master Chronometer ones.
38 mm and it would be end game. Date should not have been contrasty but I'll let it slide
100m 😅
19 mm lug width, push-pins bracelet, AR on the front of the glass, 49mm lug to lug, no, thanks!
21mm lug width but yeah I hear you.
too big.
No way. It's actually smaller than the previous Conquest.
@@tancreddehauteville764 wut
Too big, just like a lot of their watches.
