Third Party Calibers In-Depth: • Overview Of Third-Part...
The world of mechanical chronographs is in many ways split in two parts, with chronograph watches powered by third-party calibers on one side of the fence and in-house manufacture chronograph calibers on the other. In this video, I'll take a look at a striking Longines that manages to strike a balance, existing sort of in between these traditional bounds with an ETA caliber with some impressive specs that is only available in this Longines Avigation BigEye. The interesting caliber paired with a titanium case and an especially impressive dial execution make this Longines one to keep on your radar.

Longines could be Omega .. and Omega could be a Longines. Poor longines brand was on purpose classified as a low cost , massive product. Its was just a corporate decision. As simply as that . Have also Omegas, Longines, Breitling and others , and longines is an excellent watch. Very underrated.

Teddy, thank you for responding to my request to review the Longines L2.816.1.93.2 Avigation BigEye. I have been eyeing this watch since it came out around 6 months ago, but I was hesitant to add it to my collection since I don't know much about the Longines brand. I love the way you presented the watch, and answered all of my questions. I love the blue textured dial, and thanks for explaining the quality of the movements. I trust your judgement and I am putting this watch on my "watch list". Once the price drops a little bit, I will be buying it. It may not have the prestige of the Daytona, Zaytona, and Tudor Chronograph, but it is a truly beautiful watch at an amazing value price that makes it easy to wear on the wrist (as opposed to putting it in a safe). Your insight & expertise in horology keeps me coming back to your videos. Keep up the great work.

Just picked one up an hour ago. Stopped into my Rolex AD just to see if i would get lucky (of course I didn’t!). The salesman, who I have purchased from numerous times, started asking me about Longines and why I didn’t own any. I had no reason. I saw this exact one, tried it on, got a 10% discount which was fine with me, and out the door. I will say, the box itself is nice, the watch weighs nothing, and it adds a nice daily driver to my collection. I just really want to get it onto a NATO.

@michaelkruszynski8524 3 года назад

I think the value of Longines heritage models can't be overstated. In 2014 I bought a Longines chronograph with the L688.2 movement. Yes it's somewhat thick and the rotor wobbles a fair bit but it's very nicely finished and keeps excellent time: average +2 s/day the whole time. Longines is (mostly) an excellent balance between classy and fairly affordable.

@seamasterist 2 года назад

Teddy I recently purchased the Longines Spirit Chronograph. Phenomenal ! Very similar in its architecture to the “Big Eye”. Where was I looking and how did I miss Longines? Also I own a current Omega Speedmaster 38 with the cal 3330 inside and from what I can tell (co-axial escapement apart), the L688.4 inside the Longines is the same. Yes both companies are part of the Swatch group, but could someone perhaps tell me where the nigh on £2k (sterling) difference in premium goes? If anything acquiring the gorgeous Spirit Chronograph has ensured that all future purchases I make will be far more considered. I hope people find that a useful comment as these kind of watches are very much a luxury and treat for myself and I’m sure that’s the case for many other subscribers to your channel. A Patek, AP, etc as desirable as they are won’t realistically be on my radar any time soon. No for those of us lucky enough in my view to afford nice watches the £2-£5k is the sweet spot. Keep up the reviews.😀👍😀👍

@balesjo 3 года назад

Generally love everything about this watch except for the big eye. It's a personal quirk, but to me the balance of the dial is disrupted by the off-size big eye. My eye kept going back to it and disrupted the beauty of an otherwise absolutely beautiful watch. I felt that the three subdials would have presented better if they were the same size, but then I guess it would disrupt what others love about it. Love the blue of the dial and it's textured surface.

Many disregard Longines because it no longer produces in-house movements as back in the day. But many people forget it was one of the dozen brands who survived the Quartz Crisis and even to this day, they put some effort into customizing ETA movements, albeit they don't design them from scratch anymore. It still requires craftsmanship and know-how, and as such, it is truly an underated and underappreciated swiss gem. Even more so when they make excellent timepieces at such an accessible price, cutting just enough and the right corners to still deliver quality. It is by far one of my favorite brands and my grail watch is, of course, a Longines.
