The All New Longines HydroConquest GMT Is SO CLOSE To Being Perfect: An Owner’s One Week Review

I love GMT watches whether they are flyer GMTs or caller GMTs. I've owned a bunch of them including the Rolex Explorer II, Tudor Black Bay Pro, Seiko SSK GMT and MM200 GMT, and more from Grand Seiko, Zodiac, and Traska. So it's no surprise that the Longines Spirit Zulu Time piqued my interest at 42mm and then even more so at 39mm. As much as I loved my 39mm Spirit Zulu Time, I am a dive watch guy at heart and I was hoping for a dive style gmt watch with the quality that Longines offers.
Then just a short while later, Longines released the HydroConquest GMT with a much needed upgrade to the dial and bracelet, now featuring a quick adjust clasp, something not present on the Spirit Zulu Time. Additionally they made this watch a dive GMT meaning that the watch is a dive watch with a standard (more practical) elapsed time dive bezel, but with the addition of a GMT function. Since I love dive watches and GMTs so much, did Longines make my perfect watch?
In this video I'm going to get into all the details of my new Longines HydroConquest GMT including the dimensions, how it wears on the wrist, the controversial dial, case, and the awesome bracelet. Overall this is an absolutely fantastic watch that blew away my expectations that takes the fight right up to Tudor. But It’s not without its faults

Longines are producing some brilliant new watches. If you compare them to Tudor, what has Tudor produced that isn't a "Black Bay" ...or a close relative of the BB ?. They are becoming a one trick pony. I have recently bought 2 Longines watches. The 40mm Spirit and the Titanium 'Big Eye'. These watches could not be more less alike and are excellent, great value watches. I think Longines suffers from watch snobbery. If you stuck IWC on them, you'd be charged an extra $5000, and this bump would make them superior watches for some.

I’ve owned a Hydroconquest for 6 years and this model is a great improvement. The crown guards and bracelet are much improved. I recently upgraded to an Omega Planet Ocean and thought I would keep the Hydroconquest as a back up. Maybe I’ll sell it and try one of Longines new gmt’s as my back up watch. For the money it’s hard to go wrong and the movements they use perform very well. Love it

Now that you’ve had time to spend with both the Hydro GMT and MM200 GMT, which do you think will stay longer in your collection? Caller vs Flyer GMT aside, just wondering which of the two you tend to be more impressed with when you look at it on your wrist? Also curious about the comfort comparison if you could please. Glad to have stumbled upon your channel recently. You make great content. Thoughtful and thorough. You should have more followers!

I like that it's a diver with GMT function, not a GMT with a lot of water resistance. I think that while a GMT bezel is good, a diving bezel is more realistic. Quite easily a great do-it-all for those that like larger watches.

The case is quite Rolex-y for sure but the bezel and dial give me Planet Ocean vibes for some reason.

@anthonystevens8683
@anthonystevens8683 10 месяцев назад
That is a really nice watch TWI, the combination of a timing bezel and a GMT works very well and it certainly looks very smart. The bracelet is very good from what you showed us, the on the fly micro adjust is a definite plus as is the taper. The multitude of shapes for the dial markers oddness could have been avoided if the date was at 6 and placed the circle at 3. It's OK though. I do like that splash of orange on the dial for the night time GMT hour along with the outline of the GMT hand. The Spirit will carry a cost premium as it's COSC certified so that might explain some of the extra cash. As usual, a cracking review and thanks for sharing.
@thewatchidiot
@thewatchidiot 10 месяцев назад
Thanks Anthony! Yeah dive gmts are awesome combo since i rarely if ever need to track a third time zone so iitts the best of both worlds! And yeah they did a good job on the bracelet I'm glad that they decided to go for the heavier 5mm taper down to 16mm instead of only 18mm. This would have felt a bit to big otherwise, for me at least. Ah yes i forgot that the Spirit Zulu Time is cosc certified but even with this one not being cosc certified its staying true to the accuracy range in multiple positions so its like i got the chronometer rating for free lol!

Wonder if they had made the date a circle, or added a circular magnifier (gasp), if it would have made it look more symmetrical. Nice that they added the female end links on this one. Wish they would have done it with the zulu time. Ah well, nice looking, but sticking with my AR on this one.
@RedwoodAggie
@RedwoodAggie 4 месяца назад
This is a great release from Longines. I get the quibble with the circle markers. It would be a bit more symmetrical if it had a 6 o'clock date, but I have seen those exact markers on a vintage Longines diver. I can't recall where I saw it right now. They didn't just make it up for this release. The quick adjust should be the standard for any diver costing 4 figures, or at least $2K and up. All in all, Longines has really been stepping up their game on their latest releases. I think they've been more inclusive of enthusiasts, while not getting rid of casual entry luxury watch buyers.

Way too Rolex submariner homagey for me. They literally ripped off the lugs, oyster case, and crowns straight from the submariner. I mean just look at the lugs and the side slab of the case 😂. They even went as far as taking the maxi dial of the submariner and simply inverting the indices on the dial LOL. All they did is inverted the batons found on the 6 and 9 of the sub maxi dial to circles on the longines and then inverted the circles on the submariner dial to batons on the longines 😂😂😂😂. But one thing positive to see is that it looks like manufacturers are finally starting to put decent clasps with quick adjust on the fly. It's great to see this on a sub $2700 watch. It's a good looking watch, it just does so at the expense of borrowing most of it's DNA from the submariner. Yet another homage to the sub. They should have at least kept the sharp crown guards. And they should have used the zulu time case. Now that would have made it original and classic longines and would have looked beautiful.

the dial design is really weird and asymmetric. How is this slimmer than the zulu time with divers depth rating? I kind of like this but something is just off. The diamond hourhand throws me off with the rectangles, circles and triangles already on the dial. At least the date seems centered.

Yeah the dial isn't for everyone for sure, very much a quirky dial. But as for the thickness i think it's down to the spirit zulu time having a domed sapphire crystal and this one having a flat one bc if anything the spirit zulu time feels a bit thinner. And yeah thankfully the date has been centered since I got it and hopefully it stays that way!

I got to see it and I was not really impressed. Precision wise it is still like the hydroconquest which I do like.

Very cool watch but I don’t get all the hype with gmt watches. Wish this came without the extra hand.

I never considered Longines would ever make something I like.....until this watch. But its gotta be a 43mm for me. My 7.5 inch wrist will not let anything under 42 look nice. Sorry.

The dial is so messy and asymmetrical (indices) that it totally ruins this watch to me. Otherwise it would be excellent, especially the blue and green dial versions, where the 24-hour ring have a more subtle font color. I really hope they won't update the non-GMT Hydroconquest the same way.

Never forget style/design is subjective.

Ooft, pricey. First thought after hearing the price, just get yourself to the same dealer and get the Sinn 556i, same price for a classier watch with 200m water resistance. Classier looking and much more of a GADA piece.

The Tudor looked so much cleaner / more refined next to it
