I have the blue on the bracelet (like in the video) for almost two years now. It has endured some good use like swimming in both salt and fresh water, squash games, oil and grease from building a motorcycle and a lot of desk diving. While the bracelet is a bit scratched, the face is still very clean because of the sapphire glass and ceramic bezel. So it still looks very much good for the office. And it still runs within 5 seconds a day fast. I'm still very happy with the purchase.
Just ordered it as my first « luxury » watch. I’ve been slowly working my way up to it by buying and selling secondhand watches for a few months now and it has allowed me to get that one brand new. I chose the grey dial on SS bracelet ! Nice video
My two favorites watch brands are Tudor and Longines. In this case I choose the black dial with rubber strap and i would like more with aluminum bezel on it. Thanks for another great video.
Excellent review. I have just bought the black face, rubber strap with bezel and winder trimmed in gold. Amazing watch which is so comfortable and incredibly accurate. Longines is so underrated and I think it is better than my Rolex and Tudor
I have the black with the bracelet and the rubber strap. This watch is very well made and could easily be my only watch as I had the older model in 39mm for a couple of years which I sold to get the newer model. The accuracy is excellent considering the watch is not COSC Certified.
I've had it in blue for 3 years, take it on vacation several times, swimming pools, sea, jet-ski: it doesn't move, very solid, impeccable. Perfect vacation watch.
Really enjoying the evolution of this channel Harrison - great episode 👌👏. Like the last comment, both Longines and Tudor are big faves of mine. I would probably go rubber, mainly because I prefer an all satin, tapering bracelet. And, it’s black dial (or green 😉) for me 👍👍
Just picked up the blue/steel version. Nice watch so far but does wear large. Looks bigger on my wrist than some of my 42mm watches. It’s a combo of the long lug to lug over 51mm and how flat it lays… makes it look wide.
Am actually looking at the older 39mm Longines Hydroconquest as it has the perfect size for my wrist. I also liked the dial design of the older model. The only reason I am hesitating is that the older model has an aluminum bezel.
@@iwnl_vale yes, it looks bigger because it has a long lug to lug. My 41mm Aquaracer and 42mm seamster wears the same as this 39mm Longines when I tried it on the AD. The AD unfortunately only had quartz pieces remaining and I wanted the automatic version.
The green one with rubber band is for me... if I will buy metal bracelet, I will take the rose gold and grey since it looks the best plus the center of the link is not shiny finger print magnet like the all stainless bracelet.
I have the Hydroconquest in sun ray grey on the rubber strap. I also have the heritage legend diver in blue and bought an after market rubber strap for it though I like the synthetic nylon strap that came with it. Of the two I find myself wearing the legend diver more as I wear a lot of blue but I really love both watches. Good video. Thanks
Wish they make 41mm version with max 47-48 lug to lug than this enormous 50-51 lug to lug. Thats the most important how the watch will wear it will be good if you mention lug to lug distance when u make review.
Maybe you could give an idea of the regular service intervals and rough idea of costs for services ...in Australia the five year service costs between $700-1000 aud for the hydroconquest ..so 30% of original RRP
FYI The yellow gold variant is nice except for the crown. It is a matte dull gold finish very different and does not match with the other gold accents. It's more visible in person than in video. I thought I was going to get use to it but I hate it.
Hi. I have a small wrist but i love to wear the 43mm. I am interested on the black with rubber trap. So how far or small the rubber trap can go in order to fit the small wrist? How to adjust rubber trap on this watch? Can you have another video how to adjust the rubber trap please? Thanks
Who is going to dive with a watch costing some €1700 exposing it to salt water ? I'm not. This is a fancy cool dress watch. You buy it because you like it.
I have the green automatic on bracelet. However, the bracelet is a bit 'meh'. Now I have it on a NATO and it is better than ever! Class watch for a good price.
If one is using a winder box to wind this particular model, which direction should be used in settings (bi-directional, clockwise or counter clockwise)? And also, what is a minimum amount or turns pre day required for this model?
It’s a lovely watch but AR coating on both sides of the crystal is bad. AR coating on the outside of the crystal will eventually scratch. This will probably occur within the first few months if worn regularly. This happens with Omega and many other brands. Some German watch companies have a better AR coating but they also scratch eventually. Inside AR coating is all that’s needed if done the right way. I guess this is one more watch I won’t be considering.
If it scratches then you can remove the outer layer of AR, there are companies that do so. I have omega smp with both side AR since 2018 and there are no scratches on AR yet - it is not so bad
Cracks me up he keeps referring to the TWO TONE model as being "bi-metal" or steel and gold...if that's the case, this must be the only watch in history where the stainless steel and bi-metal steel and gold versions are the SAME PRICE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
