Watchlords

This year has been a big one for Longines — for a couple of reasons. They have continued down the purist pathway of vintage reissues through their Heritage collection, as well as continuing to build their other enthusiast-favourite families such as the Record and HydroConquest collections.

But the biggest news from Longines in 2020 was the launch of the Spirit collection, an event that certainly doesn’t happen every year at the Saint-Imier based manufacture. For Longines, the Spirit collection represents the meeting of past and future for the first thorough and meaningful way, blending their important history as instrument suppliers to the pioneers of aviation with more contemporary design cues and modern watchmaking technology.

Nothing against 'em, not at all. But as much as I like Longines, only one of 'em passes here, and it's only because I consider the Hydroconquest to be the most underrated watch out there. The vintage homages don't do a whole lot for me. Must be selling, because they keep churning them out.

A Hydroconquest is on my short list of dive watches to obtain.

I like this one.

Me too!

I like the chronograph- the rest are highly blasé.
