1:55 well... The more reason for you to get the watch :
1. Water resistant was listed in 3 bar, but actually it could handle more water like even showers with it (like I've done) or showering your pet/kids. I tested it in pressure test machine for 5 atm and it passed beautifully. I think they want the owner to be careful so that they can't complaint about it the watch got water ingress caused by the owner goes swimming or bathing which could affect the warranty.
2. The accuracy of it is excellent. It has a freesprung balance which resistant to shock with silicon hairspring in which has to be done because for this movement that is being put in any sector version (including the tuxedo dial), they got magnet plate that has pivot holes drilled to it so it would act as a friction spring and the second hand moves smoothly instead of janky as this subsecond hand isn't directly driven by the escape wheel but instead by additional wheels, and due to the two pivot holes on the magnet plate, it could be rearranged if they decided to make the watch smaller and still could achieve the balance design on the dial.
3. Anti-magnetic. This is one of the most affordable anti magnetic mechanical watch that could be worn without worries when you put it nearby a speaker, a cellphone, or pc, or any modern electronic devices due to the mechanism of the movement.
But yeah, it is rather a bit plain with all the finishing on the case, so I would suggest you to go to a watchmaker/swatch group service center near you to polish the top bezel and trust me, the whole design would look coherent as the brushed design would pops out more together with the shiny bezel while being balanced with the matte cream section on the dial and the brushed lugs and caseband. Check out the results on my IG @uhrkenner.
I saw and wore both the Silver Arrow and the Sector Dial and nothing can beat the Silver Arrow! It is so unique! So I got it last week!
yeah silver arrow is great!
I bought the Heritage Black dial. I really like how the 3 and 9 are more horizontal. Great size, no lume, but awesome dial. Well worth the 2K.
I've got this, it's one of my favourite watches. Two points against - the absurdly large box it comes in and that horrible engraving on the back. Luckily I don't have to look at either of these when I'm wearing it.
The original leather strap looks great!
My opinion .
Nothing beats longines at their price range
You can get that and buy extra the bracelet from the black one , you pay more but it’s worth it
I was in the market for a sector dial and I was too close to get the Jlc master sector which is a phenomenal watch and better build off course compared to the longines but
I got the longines because aesthetically is unbeatable
1930’s dress vibes a longines Calatrava
I love that brand
Thinking seriously of adding this to my collection. Looks superb. Great size. Also I must admit, I quite like the blue leather strap. Unique.
Go for it!
@@EscapementWatch yes… it’s just convincing the wife I need another watch !!
That’s the tricky bit. I’m working on it.
Nice informative video by the way.
I hear that! Thanks for kind words
SUPER SECTOR!😍
Some good points FT. I would say that if you have doubts on a purchase, leave it at the AD. There will be pieces that you don't have reservations that may be a better fit. I find that this is one of the few watches that crosses the lines of a dress or sport design without issue. The Tuxedo is also worth consideration but the lugs are quite long.
I'm not sure the crystal is frosted as it is a characteristic of sapphire. The 'milky' effect when viewed side on (or directly perpendicular from the dial) can vary significantly on the mechanical design of a box crystal. Looking through a thin layer of flat sapphire looks similar to glass, however looking through that same crystal from the side it will look cloudy. The box design of this crystal has a vertical drop on the edge so looking from above there will be a milky opaque colour. From the side on you can see the thicker rim of the crystal exhibits the same. Your point is totally valid though, it does spoil the view somewhat. If it was acrylic or dare I say it mineral this would be less obvious. If Longines could have bevelled the crystal edge where the milky shade could have been reduced and introduced distortion (like the lovely Oris Pointer Date ) but it would be at odds with the case design with vertical and horizontal angles. Anyway I got mine on the black leather strap (it also came with a NATO and a pin tool in a huge box) so other options are/were available. That dial is fantastic in my humble opinion and works so well with the blued hands. Accuracy on mine is well within COSC even though it is not certified.
Thanks for sharing. Yeah I know about that milky effect on speedys sapphires but I believe this is not it. I looked under macro it just looks unpolished sides. A good example is my yema boxed sapphire. no milky sides and the box is more aggressive and taller on my yema. Good choice with the black leather, and Kavar tells me Longines buyers sometimes refuse the big box as it annoys them and they wont know where to keep it! lol
I love Longines! Every time they announce a new watch I cream my underpants in excitement.
Absolutely normal reaction
hold out for the Longines Spirit 37. I had one of these Sectors and sold it. no single big reason but combo of just 30mWR, crappy strap for the price, and it wore kinda big for a 38.5 (light dial, narrow bezel, long lugs). high hopes for the Spirit 37! (awaiting your review very soon!)
Thanks for sharing!
Yep, tried a 40mm blue dial and it’s a stunner. Just not 100% on the 3 o clock date and long lugs. The 37mm addresses those and has a better bracelet.
The Lorier Safari cream is a cool sector dialed watch as well. Although it doesn't enven start to compete with the Longines.
That number 6 that should have been upside down is really scratching my OCD though
Exact same problem here. Saved it, adore the proportions and style and classic lines, but just... can't... quite... pull the trigger. The unpolished crystal might be the dealbreaker. Compare with a Junghans Max Bill Chrono and indeed the crystal issue looms. Ended up with an Oris Aquis titanium grey instead.
Checkout the same watch in the black and silver dial. It looks amazing. I bought one
Awesome choice! Grats!
Great watch and yes, a better design than the JLC Sector date. But not the Sector Chrono!! But these are very nice - up there in affordable dress watches with the King Seiko (but not as well finished). Longines straps are always awful. How about the Spirit 37mm? A nice everyday between the KS and SLA? I think the Spirit is a great watch and now it's smaller - spot on!
Totally agree. sector chrono is so yummy!
Hi, i am so much liking this watch and literally holding back as i like 1945 heritage with thecopper finish dial . You cleared the frosting which i am not happy on this as well with the proportions of the strap lug width when you look at the watch from the top but its still an attractive. Whats your suggestion 1945 or the 1934 to pic was almost about to make the purchase.
go with the 34!
Hello from 2023. I'm set on getting a Spirit 37mm soon but discovering this Sector is disruptive!
Both are waiting for you! Use code Longines15 at kavar for free ship plus discount!
It's a very nice looking watch. But, I always felt the small seconds cutting off the 6 was not too good looking. Either they should have increased the subdial size to completely cover the 6 or reduce it to show off the 6 without being cut getting cut off.
Although you may not get the same small seconds on the time only version, I think the Baltic sector dial watches, both the time only and the chronograph do an admirable job for the price.
Thanks for sharing
@@EscapementWatch I just updated my comment with a worthy budget alternative. Anyways, keep a look out for the perfect sector dial for yourself.
Interesting about the milky ring. My legend diver doesn't have it. I guess Swatch has given Longines the Speedmaster special, lol.
I was thinking that it is the trait of the sapphire but it just looks unpolished on the sides to become transparent as it looks frosted.
Get your hands on the 37mm spirit and you might have found a keeper.
That's the plan!
Great take! I’m curious…”pickiest”watch collector is ok with the Logo and crosshair spacing? 😉
yeah I find it distance is the same on each side. since the "i" is so tiny
How is a Baltic HMS003 silver dial? would love to see it from you😃
I've never seen that brand so I have no clue sorry
On video the dial looks flat, is that the case when in person?
in some lighting yes but in others no.
Do you know the dial diameter?
Still waiting for your new longines spirit 37mm 😁
Coming soon! As soon as the slow Canada mail gets it to me!
Given that this watch so carefully reproduces most of the original watch I'd wonder if the original had a frosty edged crystal.
Another possibility is that Longines wants you to look straight on to the dial, not at an angle.
I bought the version with the black strap, which I think looks great, and this came with a second blue jean style NATO strap and a strap removal tool. I think concern with watch straps is a bit silly (no offense). You can buy replacement straps, including hand made ones, at a very appealing price. I have used Delugs several times. A hundred or so dollars for a replacement strap is a good deal, in my view.
BTW, these watches can be had at discount from authorized dealers. Corporate just kicked up the price to $2325, almost a $200 hike. Outrageous. But if an AD has it, it's probably at the old price. Negotiate a 20% discount and be done with it. That's what I did.
This watch also hides some cool things that only pop out when you've had it for awhile. For example, notice the shine on the washer and cap that hold the hands in place. This is important for shiny blued hands, but it could easily have been missed. Then notice that the sub seconds grooved texture looks a lot like a Japanese rock garden effect. Was this by chance? Well, the whole dial is based on negative space, a very important Japanese design concept.
Well you didn’t disappoint with the JLC bashing which is of course, why I’m watching. So how about that cloudy sapphire. Nix to this. So what about the one that came out with that Milanese bracelet late last year? I love that one
The black one??? I dunno about a black sector dial not my thing. But I could see it working out good in the cream dial. Anyways the budget is blown for the new spirit unless I try it on and find something I don't like.
Now the best sector dial in my mind is the Chopard LUC QF Revolution edition.
Looks great! I had to look it up. Kinda futuristic modern sector
@@EscapementWatch agree, but be realistic. 30 pieces is only for the best business partners or friends of Revolution watch. Kind of big middle finger to the rest of the watch community.
nice watch
Sure is
Its a Great Watch im gona buy it some day… it is not cheap…. But Ill buy It With another strap… your right It is not nice.
I'm no fan of the Hodinkee tax, but their version kills this watch IMO. So much cleaner without the cut off 6, and even worse to my eyes - the cross hatch line running through the logo. That alone is an automatic no deal.
fair enough.
I disliked the Hodinkee version precisely because of those changes.
The sectors moving out from the center are the most noticeable aspect of this watch. However, there are also layers. These layers are not coordinated with each other. The crosshairs just dinging the G is not only part of the original design, but it reinforces the idea that you are looking through crosshairs at an image, and the crosshairs are independent of that image. This is an almost subconscious effect.
@@skzion2 I absolutely agree. The Hodinkee version kills the whole idea of the sector dial and makes it a boring watch. And even if I've always loved Longines the same holds true for the Spirit as to me it looks like every third watch on Amazon. The sector dial really is something special that is unlikely to be seen anywhere else.
@@misterbianco6202 You bet.
For me it's the water resistance. There is no reason anymore to not have 50meters heck 100 meters water resistance. When making a reissue they always should update the water resistance along with the materials, movement and size.
I'm liking the black version better lately.
Great reason the WR is weak and for some a deal breaker. Thanks for sharing.
True, 50m would have been nice, but I'm sure Longines has a buffer in the stated WR and as long you don't go showering or swimming with it, you'll be fine. Omegas and Pateks of that kind don't give you more WR and everybody is fine with that.
Also, check out the Yobokies sector dial! Best looking dial he's ever made, arguably prettier than this with the uncut rose logo and fully intact "6." Put it in a field watch case with an NH35 and you've got something very close to this for 10% of the cost.
This Longines is really nice the reason why you have gotten one yet is that you are a SEKIO man nothing bets a Seiko
Hahah I might buy the new spirit very soon. stay tune
Ehhh don't do it, they are getting a new Longines Spirit 37mm... screw down crown, lume and same price.
@@pastrypillager6195 Oh well... but its a gorgeous watch... and... I wouldn't go near water with this thing. Money.
36mm legend unfortunately has a worse date window than that ‘not so good’ JLC 😅. It’s a tiny womens movement they used and one can see how far inward the movement window is. Spirit maybe better?
Maybe next year the 36 legend will get the spirit treatment 37mm date at 6.
19mm strap is a deal breaker
Yeah its annoying.
I am in a massive minority, but I am a fan of date complications on dress watches (at 3 or 6, but prefer at 3). The only single reason I haven't gone for this watch is because of no date.
Yeah I go back and forth. Really handy and I like it now on my king Seiko but I think this sector is better off without.
Vertical line crosses Longines logo and don't like it!
The subscribe animation is a bit annoying; especially the high pitch sounds.
Plus the jlc watch has the worst name... Master control? Lol
ROFL!!!! now you said that. Wow! Yes, what a terrible name.
First
Silicon, not silicone. Just saying'.
