Welcome to My Watches with Ben. Today we’re taking a deeper look into Longines, the Swiss watch company founded in 1832. I’ll show you what makes these entry-luxury Swiss timepieces so special.
Whether you're a longtime watch collector, considering your first Swiss watch, or just want to learn what’s out there, this video gives you the complete picture of why Longines dominates the market.
Let me know: what is your favorite Longines model? My favorite is the Zulu Time. It's the one I would be most likely to get. https://link.amazon/B06OUEpjY

Some friendly notes below as a Longines lover. 🙏
Tudor & Tag Heuer are their direct competition with the mentioned Oris, Frederique Constant, Nomos, Rado & Grand Seiko. Tissot, Hamilton & Mido are not competition as they are all a level down.
(Dress no.9) The numerals on the copper dial master collection small seconds are breguet engraved numerals. (Dress no.10) The new master collection watch dial pattern is known as barleycorn & it has rhodium plated numerals also.
(GADA no.5,) UltraChron yes its a 5hz 36,000 beat movement. (GADA no.6) The Spirit has a date & the 5 stars on the dial. The Pilot is newer & does not have them both.
(Dive no.3) Hydroconquest GMT has the 24 hours scale in the dial and not on the bezel, it is a GMT just with a dive bezel. (Dive no.4) Legend Diver. You forgot the UltraChron Diver in the diver category which is actually more expensive than the Legend diver & also has a chronometer 5hz/36,000 beat rate. There is also the old model Hydroconquest in full ceramic which is Longines Australia most expensive Dive watch currently.
(Pilot no.1) New Spirit Pilot. The Zulu Time GMT is actually more popular. (Pilot watch no.2) Zulu Time GMT. These came out on march 23, 2022, they have on the fly micro adjustment on the leather bands but not on stainless steel. Both straps have quick release. The Hydroconquest GMT came out to the market later and came with the new on the fly adjustment on the stainless steel bracelet but with no quick release. (Pilot watch no.3) I'm pretty sure I am your viewer. 🤣 (Pilot watch no.4) The Lindbergh hour angle is based on an old historic 1931 model and it was 47.5mm as was the norm at the time to have larger Pilot watches.
(Pilot Chronograph no.1) Avigation Big eye. The current power reserve is 66 hours.
If you want a new Longines watch do what I did. Don't pay RRP. Go overseas & get the duty free price which is approx 22% off (Australia) or wait for Christmas sales & you can get the same discount without having to travel overseas.
God bless my friend. D
I bought more than a few watches this year including a new Hydroconquest. How do I know if this is getting out of hand?
