    This looks even better in real life. The face is more subtle when not in direct sunlight and a lot of people commented on its elegance. It blew all the other watches in the shop I bought it from out of the water on pure looks and was also the cheapest, which was a bonus.

    It's a very beautiful model. I've owned the black one twice and the silver one once. I really liked them, but, just like you, the date wheel kept bothering me. I especially dislike that the date seems to be slightly off center to the left in the date window, which I experienced on all my models, so I am assuming that that's a problem with all these models. I also wish that the hour markers were a little slimmer. It is, however, a really beautiful model and definitely one of the best dress watches you can find for that money, if not the best. Beautiful caseback too. Nice review!

    Really well formatted video here. It's fantastic that you've incorporated other shots of this watch whilst out in daylight conditions as that can really make a difference in the immediate appearance of the watch.
    A beautiful watch that can only be presented as a dress watch in fine social settings as described that I think all other longines watches follow suit.
    Longines seems to be that watch brand that defines elegance and class but with a huge subtlety as it's not the popular brand name most men would associate with wrist watches. You'd almost have to have a little knowledge first on watches/brands to then select a longines time piece to go out and purchase.
    I have a longines flagship 35.6mm automatic very nice to wear with the right clothing.

      Sapphire on this watch would have completely killed the aesthetic.

    @rbf100 5 лет назад +2

    You are correct. Its price should be lower and you pay for all the fancy boxes it comes in. It just has the run of the mill ETA movement but presentation is nice. I have the original 1960's version also with the date at the 12 but with the in house caliber 291 movement which I prefer.

    • @samhardy6319
      @samhardy6319 Год назад

      Those were the days when Longines was more on a par with Rolex and Omega in terms of prestige and movements - in fact I think it was ahead of them both during this period, or perhaps slightly before. The Swatch group has reordered the "rankings" of many brands it bought, but Longine was very much a top watch maker back then.

    • @SlCKB0Y-sb1kg
      @SlCKB0Y-sb1kg 7 месяцев назад

      The original 291 calibre makes the ‘54 watch about 3mm thicker than the modern heritage model (approximately 13.5mm vs 10.5mm). Also, a modern “run of the mill” 2824 is technologically superior, more accurate and cheaper and easier to service and source parts for. The heritage “reissue” is precisely for people who want almost exactly the same look as the ‘54 model but without all the potential headaches that come with owning a now 70 year old watch.

But on Jura watch website it says this watch has sapphire dial. This is a good watch anyway.

Go buy the larger sapphire model for literally double the price. Also, my “beater” Moonwatch has acrylic as well, maybe you could be a bit more open-minded about why watch makers might choose acrylic over sapphire as it’s not just for the price.
