I agree 👍 I wish more no date options would surface. I do own both no date and date complications watches but their is way more date option than no date
@@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches the bracelet. The strap although more the retro look does not look as good on this particular cushion case design as other designs. That bracelet is great looking. And I will probably get the box special edition which also comes with the NATO.
Back to the future: What do you think about the idea of re-launching models from the past? Did the new Ultra-Chron justifiy it`s iconic ancestor model from 1968? Let us know in the comment section down below 👇
I think it does. I went to the local Longines boutique as soon as they informed me that they have one on a steel bracelet. I think they only managed to display it for a few hours before I got there. I asked to check it out, couldn't leave the shop without it to be honest.
Well done. However...I would hesitate with a purchase. My 6.75" wrist has a sweet spot of 39-41mm for case diameter. This one only marginally exceeds that, but it's still a chunky block according to reviewers. I see from the reviews that it wears smaller than a conventional 43mm because of its cushion shape, modest lug span (48mm) and moderate height. However it's weight (>180 grams with bracelet) and chunkiness are still a deterent, and in my view a 40mm or 41mm girth would have pleased a broader consumer audience, including me. Now, I accept that technical factors beyond my knowledge (e.g. hi-beat movement size requirements etc.) may have necessitated the particular architecture of the watch, in which case, too bad...so sad. But if other more discretionary factors, like aesthetics, drove the 43mm case size decision, perhaps there's hope for a somewhat smaller version. Worthy to observe how just this year, Tudor introduced a down-sized 39mm Pelagos diver in response to the data. A drop from 42mm to 39mm was significant and has drawn a lot of interest. Tudor, much more than it's parent Rolex, likes to keep up with both trends and consumer needs, which I think explains their recent shrink-down of the Pelagos (alongside retention of the original version too). It's other dimensions (height, length) have correspondingly shrunk. If my love affair with my near-vintage no-date Submariner ever ends, I'd probably look closely at this 'diminutive' Pelagos 39mm, but I'd never consider the 42mm Pelagos. Longines.....are you listening??
Not a fan of the no-taper bracelets and missing any sort of on the fly adjustments is a sore point at this price range. Beautiful looking watch too bad the bracelet is a bit of a letdown for myself.
That’s a shame about Longines caving to a decided minority preference to forego a date complication. They should’ve just offered a solid dial variant to appease the handful of cranks. No date, no deal..
Clear proof that your can't please everyone. Always some will identify one small aspect to justify not buying the watch, as though they really need to justify at all, which they don't.
As someone else said, impossible to create a watch everyone will like. To be honest, majority prefere it without the date as the experience with our clients showed...
@@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches, you’re a sales clerk, sport. Of course the majority of your customers will purchase a no date model when that’s most all of what you peddle.
i get it but look here is the deal, depending on the functionality and the planned usage of the watch, sometimes it is not possible to go smaller - either it is the movement with its complications occupying space or the case has to have a certain size in order to fullfill some robust attributes...
Lol look at all the pointless branding. They need to take notes from the Germans. We know it’s automatic. We know it’s a chronometer. It’s just tacky honestly.
Good design and quality, however the folding clasp is a total mess, it is destroying the continuity of the bracelet pattern The price at 3800€ is ridiculous.
Why? This watch is inspired by the first release, and many vintage watches have a similar clasp style. The clasp often looks different from the bracelet in many watches. The price is fair-what else would you get for this price?
Aside from the size there is a major fault with the watch. The applied indices are very clearly of poor quality. They are also simply coated and not polished.
