For anyone who wait for *as always* and worry we might not see the catchphrase it's on 11:17
add: a compressor watch is always a cool one, still want one though
😂😂😂😂
With Longines’ recent releases it would be really easy to put together a great the watch collection with just Longines watches. Take this one as your diver, 39mm green Spirit GMT as a complication, and Master Collection small seconds as a dress watch. That’s a heck of a collection under 10k.
Exactly what I’m thinking of doing. I have the Zulu 39 in green already, and was planning on a Tudor diver, but this has made me think otherwise.
@@DesertTriDad BB58 is also on my list, love that watch
The Black LLD 39 in bracelet, Blue Zulu Time 39, then Master Small Second Salmon in 38.
Done, you need no more watch.
If you need chronograph, get the petrol blue Big Eye chronograph.
That’s what I’m doing right now I love this brand.
I have the military heritage as a 38m everyday watch
And the bigeye as my weekend chronograph watch
I’m hoping I can add the legend or the ultra chron as a diver to complete my 3 watch collection one day
Completely agree. I bought two and, while i have other brands, i could get by with just my 2 longines easily.
Just picked up this watch yesterday, absolutely stunning. Had both colors side by side, the black gives it a more formal look. Black also seems to reflect more light making it more 'classy'. However, i went for the blue...it definitely gives it the extra oomph while being subtle. It's also a very unique shade of blue that i dont think ive seen on another watch, which gives it more character. Maybe im not a super dressy person, but IMO it is way more dressy than a standard diver watch with a external bezel. To each their own, but im definitely wearing it with the BoR bracelet for formal occasions, and slapping on a nato/more casual band daily.
You ned to see in live sarb 009, maybe the best blue watch ever.That watch has legendary status just beacuse it has the best shade of blue ever!!
Funnily enough, although I usually agree with you Harrison, I really like a leather strap and that would be my choice - although I'm after a 39mm Zulu Time.
Each to their own, but personally think leather straps are so classy and can really elevate a watch with the right colour combination. The black and brown here look great.
'leather straps are so classy' but not on a dive watch.
@@nikolaikrustev1159 I'd argue it looks superb on a vintage looking dive watch like the legends diver here. Unless you actually want to dive with it, but that's just obvious.
@@GU5S Well, looks are one thing, function and purpose - quite another. Never mind diving, with a leather strap you can't swim nor even get your 'dive watch' wet. An automotive analogy would be a FWD only 'SUV' on low profile road tyres.
I'm new to the watch collecting game but I will say Longines is the company that finally pulled me in. I grabbed a Zulu Time in green and I've got my eyes on several others. I've got my eye the Legend Diver, Hydroconquest GMT, and the Spirit Flyback. Of course I want a watch from most brands but Longines seems to have a great value proposition for the price. Love the content. +1 sub
I love the shade of blue they used. It reminds me of the fountain pen ink I was using in primary school
Thanks, Harrison. I just tried it on at my AD and really liked it. The bezel operation is really cool and precise. A great gadget. And the clarity is superb!
Longines are just a great brand and one that actually seem to listen to what their customers want. I have the previous iteration of this watch and the gloss black dial is one of the best out there (at any price point) but the date window definitely spoils the overall look of it. I’m not a fan of a date complication at the best of times but there is just no need for it on the LLD so I’m delighted to see that they’ve done away with it. They’ve turned a great watch into a tremendous watch !!!
This one needs some more color variations. And leather straps on all of them.
I would imagine theyll add colors over time. Leather on a diver? I never understood that but to each their own.
Is the bezel crown waterproof? If not, this meant you can adjust the bezel only once per dive... otherwise the risk of water getting in is near 100%
I’ve been waiting for a Goldilocks sizes Legend Diver for so long! Needless to say, I have the black dial on the way. Great video.
Enjoy your video, I own both black and blue dials on bracelet as I couldn't decide but I feel that the black dial pops a bit more especially on a Tropical style strap. I git a good discount so went with both I'll decide which one stays.
I have the 42mm Longines Legend Diver with the blue fume dial on my wrist and I wouldn’t take it diving either. It feels to shiny and dressy. Guess I need another watch for swimming 😂
I NEED that Longines Blue dial 😁
I'd like to see a cream marker version in black.
Today I'm wearing the seiko spb317 slim turtle .
Since i brought the HydroConquest GMT recently, no doubt I would like to compare with them.
First is the price, how come this new Legend Diver is 300 USD over the HydroConquest GMT?
It have no GMT, no ceramic bezel, no date, the bracelet have no micro adjustment. The thing it win HydroConquest GMT is the COSC certificate.
And the COSC certification is your answer on the higher price
Cosc certification, iso certification, new LIGA escapement for anti-magnetism, new improved crown system, new caseback system (like Omega NAIAD caseback system) which allows the caseback to be always aligned while still ensuring the 300m water resistant.
Hello Harrison, why did you stop mentioning the lug to lug length of the presented watches? I've noticed this lately.
Now about the watch... I love the 42mm bronze model. The problem is the length. I really hope Longines will offer also the 39 in bronze with a green or maybe with a red dial. I'm sure that would be a great looking watch.
I just bought a Rolex OP 41 in Green for my 19th birthday and finishing school. I love it.
And before a recruiter mentioned the"internal break" I didn't notice. Want looking for those design approach..... Less likely to scratch the bezel
i do not have an internal rotating bazel watch, this looks tempting
Defo want the blue version…… but that price 🤯
Longines, where s the mther white pearl 39 mm + milanese bracelet? Tks fot the vid, man.
Decent review. However the 1959 super compressor LLD was 42mm no date.
I really wanted to like the new 39, but it think that with beads of rice bracelet and no photina- it looses a lot of its character and just tries to please the market. And the price … 😳The only improvement in my opinion is the generous lume.
What about COSC cert?!
Ha, Longines made a Baltic Aquascaphe Dual Crown - one of my favourite watches! ;)
But they did invent it originally, and the movement is a higher grade for sure.
I find the 2500+ price gap way too large though.
The baltic is 800 Euros, the Longines on nato is 3000 Euros.
Baltic is a brand founded in 2016, so not even 10 years old yet. They put myiota movements in their watches.
Longines in an old brand founded in 1832, so you have brand recognition, a COSC movement with silicone balance spring and that is what you pay for... it may not worth it for some people, but for some it is.
Longines started making watches before Rolex, Tudor, Oris, Rado, etc were even being established.
Is a Rolex worth over 10k? Or a Daytona worth ofer 20k? Or a patek, AP, worth over 50k? Probably not.. no watch is worth ofer 200-300 euros, but we buy them for our pleasure, brand history, specs, movements, status, etc.
Right now Im waiting for my Legend diver 39mm on nato for 2500 E, got a 10% discount. Worth it? Probably not, but still I would be buying the watch
The lume mark by the 6 also makes it look like a 9 as a line under the number usually denotes which way up it is!! Would be better with just the numbers, still a cool looking watch though
Would look fantastic in a burgundy red also
I love what Longines have done with this watch.
It's beautiful, but I wish the hands were slightly larger/longer. The minute hand needs to be a few mill longer to my eye.
Stunning piece. All variations are great apart from the nato of course.
Natos always make any piece look cheap and nasty.
Getting some JLC Polaris vibes here. Oh, and any chance you'll ever say Oh-may-ga instead of Amiga? I didn't think so. Great video!
The lume on the interior bezel should be there instead of the ones beside the hour markers aka the 13
Honestly, beyond the fact that the 36 fits my wrist better, I still think there's just a bit something more to it that makes it look better than the new 39. The only thing I like more about the new version is the movement.
That something is the lugs, which have a much more "conventional" and stubby shape on the 39. The 36 and 42 retain the iconic (and IMHO) beautiful lugs of the original Legend Diver, and it's a real shame Longines made the change they did on the otherwise-very-nice 39.
@@omega595 I also think it's the gradient dial for the colored versions (colored center changing to gradual black on the outside).
While it does have high polish, i would still snorkel with it. I own the blue dial and plan on using it for its sporty purposes.
Tudor Black Bay 58
tudor overrated
So now I need to sell my bronze LD and 42 mm LD and get the blue on bracelet as this is the LD I have always wanted.
i just need conquest in 38 or 39. Hope 2024 is that year
They have silently released the 38mm heritage conquest. And next they'll release the heritage conquest power reserve with the central power reserve disc in 38mm
they just announced it !! On Teddys channel :)
I thought I had dyslexia too. But then I took an online test for dyslexia, and nope, it turns out I’m just dumb! 😅
I was excited for the Legend Diver and went to the boutique to try it on last year. The 42mm wore way too big. The 36mm wore ridiculously small. This should wear better.
I agree about the '13'
I want the gradient dial from the 42 on this
Get rid of the 3 and add a date wheel? Also, it doesn’t really bother me, i look at the 9 and don’t see 91.
We needed a no date version. All the previous versions had date's except the bronze version that's not everyone's cup of tea
Very nice watch but I am in the minority who prefer the blue fume dial on my 36mm. The Sauron comment was funny.
👀odd that the inner bezel isn’t luminous… at least the numbers and the triangle 🙁
The cadance in his voice is the same as the Bark and Jack guy
Cool watch..but:
1. That bi-coloured lume just looks naff;
2. Having to unscrew a crown to use the rotating bezel is very impractical for timing things, despite the added security of locking the bezel in place.
I'd prefer the solution IWC Aquatimer uses (much more expensive though it is) - the inner bezel being operated from the outside.
While I appreciate the nod to the brand heritage, from what I've red this is just a compressor-looking, not an actual super compressor case.
Right…but with both crowns screwing down, this watch is actually an ISO certified 300 meter dive watch…can the IWC claim that?
@@silvestrocrino3256 IWC claims the same 30 bar WR and I guess 99% of the casual divers will be fine with that.
@@nikolaikrustev1159 … yes, they claim it… and am sure test for it. But this watch, like some of the Seiko divers is actually 3rd party certified as a diver, so ISO certified, COSC certified, good looking, and 1/3rd the price. It’s a winner.
New set is looking sweet!
Thanks buddy
Watch check Tudor bb 58 blue.I also own 2 subs but WOW Longines has more winners out now than any other company.I love my bb 58 but Longines is nipping at the toes of Tudor.I can't remember any other company have even close to the amount of releases that are winners in 1 year.
On a dive I always adjust the bezel at the start of a dive during decent. As the timing crown is screw down, will it be water resistant adjusting the bezel under water?
Nice review but you left out one of the most important specs--the lug to lug distance.
No green and bronze model?
I'm a "sea"of generic looking since watches.. Regardless of cost..... It's refreshing to see Longines Not follow the herd.. Do something slightly different.. Internal bezel 2 crown.... Who not??👍
Good posture and prices less than a Tag Aqua6300 and online with the Aqua6200s...
Longines has more and a better cached 6 then Tag... This does matter whether do affinity it or not
It looks like pilot watch or a gmt
Just press 600likes. Anyway great watch and waiting for green dial bronze 39
Not a fanboy, but there is no thing like a "bad Logines". Probably the best brand in price-quality in the 2-4k segment.
I love everything about it. I'd love to see it on a rubber strap. I'm buying it when it pops on the online shops.
It's already up on one of the GMs website. Just google it.
Very beautiful watch 💪👍👏
the glossy inner bezel is chaos!
This is by no means a dress watch and I don’t know why you think that it is. Classy looking… yes, dressy… no way.
Brillant
I kind of wish these re-issues werent so close to the originals. amazing watch (something that doesn't look obviously influencing by a submariner) but still, I feel some opportunity to modernize the design a bit was missed
Very derivative of the JLC Polaris
They should have the brown leather strap as an option on the blue as well. It looks better with the blue.
would hv bought this in a heartbeat if it comes in 42mm. lol.
I see 13 too:but I also have dyslexia
🔥
Love it Longines addressed all the things I didn't care for. That hideous piss yellow faux patina, way better lume the size as lastly the date window. That really never looked quite right on the LD
Dude, you don’t pronounce S at the end of Longines name)
Dude, nobody cares.
It’s a crap brand for the unwashed masses.
Beautiful watch, but all I can see is 91 and 13.i can't unsee it. Shame.
I've never been a fan of this watch. I think it's too busy on the dial.
I'm wearing a white dial Sinn 104 today.
Please show me the latest phone that’s the same size as a Nokia 3310,,,,,,yeah I’m still waiting 🤦🏼♂️
Oh and the hydro gmt came out at towards the end of the year 🤷🏼♂️
If it's 13, then it's 91 also;)
As if your going to say anything bad as you sell them.
Bad - save for a better watch
Love it! A poor man’s Polaris.
Kind of a cheaper polaris imo. This is not for me…
overpriced
Look cheap and worse than the 36/42mm version.
Bad.....
Love longines, but this is a truly disappointing watch, it’s a compressor like watch, surely at the price it should be a real compressor, even CW can do a real one at a fraction of the price….
“Sexy” “Jesus” - your language is infantile and mildly offensive.
I loved this channel but unsubscribing because of the constant offensive us of God’s name in vain.
ABSOLUTELY BAD
Tooooo small 🤢
