Longines most accurate mechanical - ULTRA CHRON 

Jesus this is such a home run from Longines. No date, hi beat, cool sapphire bezel, unique bracelet, funky colour pop. I love it.

Have a lot of love for Longines lately. Especially with this piece and their Heritage line, so much available for such excellent value.

Longines is like Travolta in Pulp Fiction.... Complete A lister forever, disappeared for a long time, and is now making blockbusters again. What the Swatch Group has done with the heritage line the last few years is impressive. I really think Longines and Oris are in a great position to dominate the 3K and less (street prices) market.

I recently purchased it. It looks and feels superb. Amazing high quality watch.

That bezel insert is freaking majestic

I'm having my third longines delivered today, as you can tell I'm a fan. Quality, style, complications, price, heritage, they are a tough act to follow. My advice get the watch that makes you feel 'wow' each time you wear it, regardless of make.

Such cool, distinctive watch. In a market dominated by cookie-cutter product and Insta-conformist consumers, Longines hits a home run. Fantastic movement and finish quality for the price. While many brands just cater to the mass market, Longines has its Heritage line, pumping out hits for the enthusiasts...

My god Longines! This brand is KILLING IT! My next big purchase was going to be a Cartier Santos this year but man, Longines just keeps releasing amazing watches that are making me rethink. Whew!

this shows that longines back in the day was very competitive luxury brand. not just an "entry level luxury"

I love that bracelet. It’s so thin and elegant. I wish I could find an aftermarket source this very same style but with different lug widths

FYI, Lume isn't supposed to be a flashlight replacement. Once your eyes adjust to the dark, most lumed watches are plenty bright.

This is superb. Love it.

I saw this when it was first released and shown next to there original hi beat diver this was inspired by, very cool watch, I love that matte dial and overall aesthetic, I think this is good release from Longines.

Got a hydroconquest rubber for my first real HQ watch and I think this is going to be my second. Absolutely In love with what longines has put together with this one.

5 Hz Beat Rate , Wow.. that’s nice. I would love to see that movement in other models. Thanks Bruce

That is just beautiful.

Thank you for another great video.

The finishing and details on this watch are solid for $3700 considering what other brands are charging for an inferior product.

OMG, this is pure beauty!

Terrific looking watch from Longines.

This is a cool watch. I think Longines has bumped TAG down. It’s now Rolex, Omega, Breitling, Tudor, Longines, and then TAG.

cannot wait to get it in one month… high beat from ETA … has to be good !!!

Great video. Great watch.

Loving this Longines😎

I absolutely love this watch, but the only thing keeping me from purchasing it is that I want to wait to see if they release in any other colorways. Such a beautifully executed watch.

Great Video!

Just got my Ultra-Chron today on the leather strap. Very handsome watch that wears perfectly on my 7 inch wrist. The wooden presentation box is also top notch. The cushion case has an excellent finish and the sapphire bezel gleams like a jewel. The signed crown is firm with no play and it winds up like butter. This is a beautiful dive watch that is worth every penny. Forget the lame Tudor BB...get this instead.

I bought my first Longines about 2 months ago (Ceramic 43mm Hydroconquest) and its just stunning and now im looking at the Ultrachron. Its absolutely beautiful and id love to own a true high beat. Watching that second hand glide is mesmerizing. Love the name and the logo too. The typical grey market sites i frequent never have them though. I don't know if I could just drop full price at an AD for a Longines to be honest but once/if they hit the grey market or used market i'll pick one up.

I prefer this watch with dark blue accent. So I hope that new color variants of this watch will be issued very soon!

Very cool watch

Great release from Longines. Longines has been too humble in their marketing. They are an interesting brand with rich history and fantastic value.

Nice vid. What a great design. Probably not for me - it’s a bit heavy (my sweet spot is about 150g), and I prefer oyster bracelets. Just picked up a blue Zulu time, I love it, my daily wearer. Longines is killing it, becoming a true Tudor rival as Omega guns for Rolex, whereas Rolex wants to pit Tudor against Omega. Fun times.

The Longines logo on the clasp is much more tasteful than the gigantic text on the clasps of the Spirit line.

Beauty

I actually think the lume is great. It's tastefully done! Well done Longines!

The sapphire crystal bezel is really surprise me!

like the movement and the no date

Used to have a Hydroconquest, the wooden box that it came in was fantastic.

Looks a great watch, I like the strap but I would prefer a date.

Nice review,of a cool watch. It’s a shame they didn’t get diver status certified.

Longines I think should be aiming to contend with Tudor. Let omega contend with Rolex. I pick up my longines spirit Zulu time tomorrow. Can't wait

I've heard there are 4 references for this watch. Two without the wood presentation and included NATO... on strap at around $3K and on bracelet for around $3200.... waiting for these to start showing up before I pull the trigger. But this is a lovely watch.

I'm gonna go try some longines on next time I'm in Lancaster

Great watch. Saw it in person. I think it is a bummer that the seconds hand has no lume pip. I am not a fan of the bracelet because it is too vintage inspired for me, but it is not a deal breaker. I really like the movement and the sweep of the second hand. I also like the dial texture. I wish longines applied all the indices. Bezel action is great. Overall a great watch. Would i buy it. Not sure, but I would choose it over the Longines spirit zulu time, because this watch felt more expensive/quality in the hand then the zulu time when I hold it in my hands. Longines is doing great recent years and I really want to add a Longines watch to my collection but it is not on pole position. ;-)

If they made this with a white dial I would be buying one for sure..

Like the no date. Don’t really like the lack of an end link on the bracelet -just my personal preference but I always dislike that look. Also no on the fly adjustment is a shame for the price point. But a good looking piece for sure. It’s different and I’m down for it.

I have asked to the Audemars Piguet sales manager why their movements are 18.000 bph when most are 21,600 or 28,800 or 36,000 and his answer was more frictions on the metal parts and faster traces of wear and needs parts at service

This or black tutor 58 black dial with red triangle at top Belize’s? Already have a omega seamaster 300m coaxial master chronometer for my first luxury watch.

The best in 2022!

The perfect watch =LONGINES ULTRACHRON 👍👍👍

Beautiful… Damn! I wish this comes in 37mm x 11mm.

Great video. It makes me curious if they plan to use this movement in future models... Seems like it would be a bit of money put into the movement just for this one model....

Same general look of my Vostok.

The Bulova Precisionist and the Accutron line are also high beat watches. You failed to mention them.

I don't need another watch. I shouldn't even be looking. Any chance we can get this high beat with a yellow or orange dial?

Lovely watch ,would prefer a non high beat for cheaper servicing

Whats the lug to lug? Thx

Beautiful ultra chron, l sold my Rolex, and bought me this Beauty

I think with this offering, Longines and its price points are starting to head North with the quality they are giving you for the money.

Longines had a high beat movement in the past, I believe it was the first to do so.

The lume is quite disappointing for a diver, especially in this price range. That's really my main issue. Even most of Tudor's divers (minus the Pelagos) at a slightly higher price do not have a quick adjust bracelet, but it would have been a great opportunity for Longines. Tudor is established in this price range for divers, and Longines has more to prove. They should have come to the table with just a bit more than the high beat movement, IMO. It's the details that matter when the price goes up. The lume would be easier to fix than engineering a clasp, but both should have been done. I do quite like the aesthetics of this model though. I would like to try one on in person. The AD I was at last week did not have one.

can this watch be used as a dress watch? or is this more of a fun watch?

04:40 ...and Frederique Constant (Monolithic) 😉

Unique design and awesome movement, but the size is a miss for me. Would have loved to see this at a 40mm diameter or under. Maybe they'll release a smaller version in the future.

Very good looking watch. However, I'd buy a used Grand Seiko over this EVERYDAY.

I have to say a lot of lume isn't a turn on for me. I'm not in many places that require me to need it. As long as it's legible and accurate for its claim, I'm good. Personally I'd want a date function but that's me.

Another new release, that at a glance, seems to be very 'Vostok' imo...

Water resistance?

" swatch group" is not a bad thing.........always sounds like that...

I see the price point a lot less offensive than recent Omega and Breitling price points…

So it's a dive watch?

Very cool looking watch but the same price as a BB.......

This one beats much higher positioned and priced watches easily!! For example: A Tudor Black Bay looks poor against this one!

Appreciate the review, but it is incomplete. I'm considering an Ultra Chron purchase. While by no means a high-end timepiece, this mid-range U/C is certainly premium-priced, being in the $3K+ range. When in that price range, I expect this braceleted version to have a bracelet whose links are connected by screws, not by pins and collars. In fact, that is important enough that the absence of screws is pretty close to a deal-breaker, with other elements therefore having to make up for that omission -- a very tall order. Screws, in my view, reflect quality and attention to engineering detail, not to mention making adjustments quicker and less challenging. The video review unfortunately spends almost no time on the bracelet itself, with surprisingly no mention as to whether the links have screws or pins and collars. At one point in the review, a side view of the watch and bracelet allows one to glimpse what looks like small pins or bars inside the port holes on the flanks of the lower links; however, while they look like pins, they could be the tips of screw bottoms. There's no view of the conntralateral side to determine whether there are slotted screw heads in the port holes. I will therefore have to look at other reviews that hopefully fill this void. ADDENDUM: After looking at another video review by a popular reviewer, it appears the bracelet does have screw links. The bracelet draws considerable comment and praise in that review, in part for its screw links.

Should have been a 39mm max, and shorter L2L

👀

What I didn't like at first, is that nowhere on the website it doesn't clearly state the exact accuracy, and what you've mentioned (-4..+6 per day) is quite mediocre for this price segment tbh...

Such a nice watch.. I will never buy. Whenever I am about to buy a watch on this tier I always stop and save the money for a higher tier watch :/

awseome watch, but a little bit overpriced. I would pay 1500-2000 max

Need 37mm - 38 mm version please Longines. With ceramic bezel.

Somewhat Doxa like.

Could be perfect, just sticking to black and white over stainless steel. Why red?? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Might as well buy a Bulova High frequency ..a lot cheaper ..I got the Bulova moon watch 50 th edition.. Superb watch

looks like a Vostok homage :)

Wish they made it smaller, thinner, and maybe on a fitted rubber/tropic style strap to make it more tooly. Not that i hate this bracelet, but at 22mm it is too substantial, 180+grams is not really comfortable.

Vostok Amphibian 😂

Cool homage on Amfibia 710 "Ministry" by Longines 😆

Beautiful watch but maybe $1000 overpriced?thankyou👍

I was at a Longines boutique to buy one and was a bit disappointed by the presence of this watch. In real life not so impressing, looks kinda dated and to be true... cheap. It's a pity, because mechanically is exceptional.

I wonder why talking of Longines you have to specify Swatch Group this this or that, something rarely heard of while speaking of Omega or others. To me it feels like a cheapening attempt of the brand, which is far more prestigious, has richer and longer history and more records, than many other overpriced brands from Richemont and LVMH. No one says the Richemont Group did this or that when talking of IWC or Cartier. It's only done when talking of Tudor as if those watches were made by Rolex, now that I think about it. And that's the opposit thing: a way to show Tudor as a better brand of what it actually is.

it's a modified version of ETA 2824-2

Doesn't beat a Grand Seiko.

They could be loyal to the original in terms of size and create a great comfortable EVERYDAY WATCH, such a GO ANYWHERE, DO ANYTHING WATCH, BUT they create a 43mm and 186g charge on the wrist...🙆‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂. Here we can see the example of what becomes chunky and oversized when it was supposed to look vintage inspired...and, however, the crown gets now unprotected 🤦‍♂ About the price, well, it's a relatively high price, given the fact that the caliber is basically a big and tunned ETA 2824-2, nothing developed from scratch. So they are pricing the watch basing on the Hi-BEAT speciffication more than in the watch complication itself, and we can see this point in the fact that Longine's colunm-wheel chronos are cheaper in many cases, having a more complicated caliber more expensive to be produced. So, yes, in one side, they have chosen a wrong size on my humble point of view and, also, they are pricing basing on the heigh of the watch frequency......., not in the watch production costs or quality, and this will be a handicap at the moment to face the competition. For that price, there are BETTER CALIBERS, better and more modern calibers out there in better finished watches, and now this is not just my humble opinion, this is just the raw objetctive reality.

Well, that's a one fancy looking Vostok homage

they are trippin if they think this is worth $3700

Boooo no date.

It's not an offensive price, it's merely profane 😆

seiko turtle for $3700?? NO THANKS

"Mid-level" lol you don't have a clue about anything if you thing Longines is mid grade.

Boring watch
