NEW Longines Hydroconquest GMT - A Budget Sub?! 

I just wanted to quickly hop on and say thank you all so much for the continued support - I’ve been going through a little bit of a tough time recently but you guys have been so supportive so thank you all 🙌🫡

This is really a great improvement for Longines. I saw it in London and I can say it’s a real masterpiece, especially the blue one. Defenitevely an heavy upgrade vs the previous version.

Really like the green/gold colourway. Longines smashing it yet again!

Never had Longines really on my list. Especially the Hydroconquest was a bit too large for my taste and I didn’t like the clasp. This new model is just amazing and really let‘s me overthink my collection to find a spot for this new Hydroconquest👍. Highly interesting watch! Thanks a lot for this amazing video 👍

Love that you give your genuine opinion and preferences. Really really helpful, thank you.

Wrist check, I'm doing the hydroconquest red bezel 41m black dial today from 2015 on steel.. Nice.. And I actually bought it from you guys in your bromley shop ! Great service by the way. 👍🏼

I've been waiting for this review but the wait was ABSOLUTELY worthwhile! As Always!

Usually, I don't like GMT's but this one is a stunner!!!

Black dail is stunning. I like the contrast with the red markers.

Your review was absolutely awesome! You make me want to get this watch! It's stunning

I love that GMT! On my wrist is my G-Shock 5610; I was repairing & painting my back deck today.

Nice review! I have the exact same watch and just like yours (correct me if I'm wrong!) the date seems misaligned, sits a bit high in its window. I almost sent mine back for service, but decided to live with it for now.

Is it possible to buy the bracelet separately and put it in the Longines Hydroconquest 41mm?

excellent review and clean presentation! do you happen to know if the clasp extension (button) provides step adjustments or only one fixed extension? thank you

Any idea if this hydroconquest gmt bracelet would fit the original hydroconquest?

Just stumbled on this watch yesterday. Really interesting option. Perfect sunny vacation option.

Love this watch in blue. Recently bought a SMP 300 in green so I have to start saving from zero for this. Marvelous watch for a reasonable price. Well done!

I own this exact model and it's great , just waiting for the option to purchase the black rubber strap separately. Great review as always

Thanks for the great video! What I don’t like are the dot markers on the 6 and the 9. I wish they used the baguette style markers. Although I like the new model more, I still lean towards the Spirit Zulu Time GMT…

Great review…as always! Wearing an Omega Seamaster Quartz, black on black rubber strap…but, really like this GMT especially the blue

Where did you get that faux patina'd Hydro?? Here in Hungary that wasn't available.

Just picked up the brown version of this and they knocked it out of the park.

Longines is killing it with their new releases lately

I like it! The bracelet for sure being all brushed and the quick adjust is great. Looks like Mido Oceanstar and sub had a kid... but yea... you're right, once you get close to a TUDOR price point it's tough. Definitely on discount it would be a consideration. Hope it's not too top heavy. My Tag 300M Aquaracer is starting to become too heavy for normal use.

I dont know exactly why, but that older automatic HydroConquest is one of my favorite watches ever made. It feels so good in-hand and on-wrist. The quality is much higher than the pricetag.

I m wearing my Baume & Mercier two tone 200 m GMT. I love the look of that Longines GMT.

I used to not be too much of a fan of diver style watches but the HydroConquest GMT made them look appealing again, especially the 41mm model. This review also made want to pick one up, so thanks for that I guess haha. Wristcheck today: a Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Powermatic 80 39mm in rosegold.

Great review..Such meticulous work is what everyone wants..looking foreward for more ..and beauty timepiece

Wow, this is a solid new model. I really like it and think it's going to be a very popular model.

I love this new gmt. I 6 wait to try it on. So happy w upgrades. Cheers

What is going on with the gap on the first link really like this watch but that gap is off putting the rubber strap seems the best way to go

I hope the time only/date version will get this updates. It's fantastic!

I'm not sure now. I have been looking at the white dial tudor but this looks nice as well. And like you say I save a grand! On the wrist Breitling avenger II gmt 43mm. Should have gotten the 45mm lol

Thank you for the very nice review. Why do you think there is such difference in price for this Watch compared to the Zulu time?

The dial is based on the vintage Longines Admiral diver, I like it. I was considering the Longines Admiral but could not find a decent example.

About time they changed the crown guards and clasp!!! This one I'll certainly buy. Thanks Longines for waking up!!! Great video, thank you.

This is great from Longines , i can finally order a hydroconquest i like! Well done

Great watch and great review, thank you

Wrist check: I'm wearing the Spinnaker Boettger- Orange dial with steel bracelet. Absolutely love this watch.

I've been leaning towards a microbrand GMT, but this Longines looks delicious!

Beautiful watch. Alongside the new Conquest the pair are reallly doing bits for Longines. On the wrist today blue steel Casioak GM2100

Same feeling as a Tudor. Good quality, strange not-for-me hands, some fdesign items that look a bit strange, but a good price. I guess there's an audience for that, it's a good watch.

Hope your throat gets better. You’re in the UK, buy some vocal zones, I have to have them shipped to Aus, you’re so lucky to have them available.

Hello, Harrison as always - this was a great video! In the future, i'd like to see a side by side comparison between this version and the Spirit Zulu. I want a Longines GMT and would love to hear your input on these head on.

I have the all black ceramic Longines Hydroconquest L37844569, which is one of my favorite watches.

Excellent review! Not too many on YT!

Super content as always. Thank you. 😊

Sometimes I want to sell all my other watches and just collect Longines!! Especially with the new releases. I found myself picking Longines over the others especially big eye titanium blue dial

Green Longines Hydro with a green Delugs rubber strap. Best all around watch I’ve owned

It's a great looking watch, I haven't got a Longines yet. This could be it. Wearing my Seiko sbdc167.

Wrist check ✔️ citizen ecodrive titanium 'Ray Mears'. Bought yesterday for an office watch but a fingerprint magnet.

Wristwatch check - wearing my favourite Seiko SARB035 now.

I really feel my collection should feature a Longines at some point. Though to be honest I much prefer the spirit zulu gmt to this. Just bought a Longines for my mum who's 70 next weekend. Brilliant watches that for the money offer superb quality. Got my Omega Planet Ocean on right now, white dial orange bezel model with the killer lume.

How come that Hydroconquest has black date wheel?

It’s a good video, thank you. Your rings, however, competed heavily to the watch for my attention.))

Chisholm Hunter I just purchased an omega seamaster professional 300 based on your recommendations! Its in blue too, but with metal bracelet. Also got a Milanese strap for that modern Bond look…Cheers mate! 😊

Looks like they stepped up and finally found the Chris Ward clasp supplier.. it's EXACTLY the same clasp as CW.

It's a bit of a safe choice for Longines. Not overwhelmed but it sure is a solid time piece.

I don't like the orange accents/numbers on the black GMT. For that reason I like the regular one more. Great watches regardless though.

Great job, subscribed! 👍

Nice analysis and comparison, Harrison. Thank you! And if my eyes don’t deceive me, what’s up with your new jewelry? I noticed I was a bit distracted initially, but got used to it eventually.

Both the previous and current look amazing !!!

Very nice Longines! How close does it get to your beloved SMP300?

Got my trusty breitling colt 45 gmt on a black breitling rubber strap! 🤘

It reminds me of the Mido Ocean Star GMT M026.629.11.051.01, but that is 44mm-s, so this Longines is more wearable.

I can’t unsee how the 6 and 9 need to be larger rectangles and not circles.

Does anyone know if this watch is COSC certified?

Brother i believe you forgot to mention the lug to lug or did i missed it? Beautiful watch

Have Longines used Screws on the bracelet links or are they still using pins?

this watch is gonna be legend after 20 years

Wish they would do a diver gmt with the spirit line instead and use this bracelet with female endlink and on the fly adjust.

Great watch I prefer this to the Zulu time . Thanks 4 the review

By present standards well worth the asking but I bought my Hydroconquest on bracelet (two iterations back) for £650, not so long ago.

I have never considered Longines during my time collecting watches, that being despite their undoubted heritage. I have also never bought a watch with gold featured in any part of the watch. A couple of weeks ago I broke both those ducks when I bought number 30 in my collection. The Hydro Conquest grey dial, with a rose gold bezel, crown & Arabic numerals/indices was too tempting at first sight. It's a great looking watch on the grey rubber strap. The watch on the bracelet not so much so IMO. The bracelet, I feel, doesn't do the watch justice as it feels a bit light & of lesser quality than other similarly priced watches. Apart from that, at this price point Longines is knocking it out the park for looks & value.

Just purchased the ultra chron . I think I would better wait for those

Beautiful watch, it’s put Longines on the radar for me.

Longines if you're listening pls make a non gmt version in 39 or 40mm, even

I still like the older hydroconquest with the arabic numerals. Currently wearing hamilton expedition 41mm

Thank goodness they got rid of those original crown guards. I know they are supposed to look like the Longines logo with the crown, but they were quite the eye sore

I have mixed feelings of this. It looks stunning at first. But then the diamond lume on the hour hand looks kind of odd when there are circles and rectangles and triangle as indices. Also how is this 300m diver thinner than the Zulu time by 1mm and still manages to give depth to the dial. This is one of those watches that open up to oyu when seen live I guess.

Very nice looking watches. 👍👍

We want an overview of the new Seiko Alpinist GMT please

really solid option for the money imo - my only gripe is there are too many different shapes on the dial, big circle, small circle, big triangle, small triangle, rectangle, diamond, sword, square. It looks busier than it should.

I think this is quite the value proposition… at least compared to most of the Tudors. I think the only potential “downside” if you even want to go as far as calling it that is the ETA movement instead of an in-house. Then again, it is made exclusively for Longines AND is well engineered hence its thinness compared to the GMT movement used in the Tudor. I’m conflicted as I really appreciate the added complications (GMT & date) in a manageable package… but I like the authenticity and specificity of the Pelagos 39 as a diver.. in addition to the brand’s history with diving. Funny enough, even though I’m perfectly fine with the Pelagos’ grade2 titanium, if it were grade5 it would be a no-brainer for me and it would be in the collection already. I don’t think Tudor will ever make the Pelagos in grade5 because then it will compete too closely with Rolex’s titanium sport models.

I get Orient Mako Gen 1 vibes from the Longines and there is nothing wrong with that. I am wearing my Casio G-Shock Tough Solar G-6900-1D.

Being a happy owner of the 39mm Hydroconquest i would be interested in the lug to lug measurement of this 41mm,it looks shorter than the older model ?

This watch reminds me of the mido ocean star gmt Hodinkee version I owned

I am currently wearing my Seiko Samurai limited edition Shu-iro.

I have watched five videos on this watch now, and not one has given the lug to lug. As someone with small wrists, this is kind of relevant information. Do you happen to know the lug to lug?

i think if they could make the font yellow instead of orange that would be better, since black + orange is Mido's color (also a swatch group brand) and Mido came out earlier than Longines with their Ocean Star GMT watch which has basically the exact same function as the hydroconquest GMT. (true gmt + a diver's bezel) but Mido is below Longines' tier and the Ocean star GMT is only rated at 200 meter water resistant. so longines' 300M is better.

Will this hold its value?

Nice watch, nice review, I prefer this better than the Zulu, solid!

Love the new Longines, Seiko Willard on my wrist

The brown to me looks the best out of them. Reminds me of the Rolex root beer GMT for way less of the price.

This is cool but not a brand I'd typically go for. Wrist check, Tag Heur Aquaracer black dial on black rubber strap ⌚️

What is your wrist size?

I wearing the Mido Ocean Star GMT 😊

Add numerals at 3 6 9 a bigger trisngle and change the hour hand

Beautiful watch but this dots indices on dial at 6 and 9 o’clock are destroying the watch aesthetically. Looks like they didn’t have enough rectangles to complete the dial and put that to complete it 😅

It is Mido Ocean Star in a smaller case. #pretty
