Was searching for my first automatic watch, saw this online and was immediately captivated. Stopped in to a store to look at Rolex, Tudor, and Omega and they happened to have this watch. It became immediately apparent that I had to buy it. Everything else seemed boring. Bought it, and love it. A classic boy-meets-watch story. 😄
@Harry Balls It depends on personal preference man. I personally prefer that specific watch over the Hydroconquest in my opinion. I just find it more intricate and interesting than the Hydroconquest. So yeah if you ask me I would go for the master complete calendar chronograph as shown on the video. But like I said, it's personal preference. Whichever you feel like you may be more attached to :))
@Harry Balls Yeah man, the Longines GMT is a beautiful piece as well. And yes, I agree the mechanism of the Master Chrono is very interesting and intriguing. Goodluck on your purchase man!
Same, i had bought a watch 2 weeks prior buying this one. I saw this at the store, i checked it and fell in love. What a beautiful watch. Since having this watch, i dont wear other watches of mine often and i am even scared to lose it or damage it lol
Replace only the name with PP, change nothing else, and the comment section would be gushing with how it's on of the most gorgeous watches in existence.
Yeah, then change the Movmnt so it can Accommodate a Wearable Case Thickness Rather than a Brick . You see, thers Another Reason besides a Name Or Label why those Other watches Cost what they cost. It's called..."Refinement"!
I have owned this watch for 6 months, it's a joy just to open the box to look at it. I have three from this exquisite watchmaker in my collection. Longines quality, heritage and price are hard to beat.
Good. Because that's all u can do is Look At It. Wearing 15mm of Steel on top of ur wrist to tell time is just ridiculous. Thers a reason. Aside from Name or Label why those Other Watches Cost what they Cost. It's called "Refinement"!

I own it this fantastic watch! This is the most bang for your bucks for solid everyday business casual look! I am collector this is a must have in my collection. High grade, versatility, and great value!!
I would just disable the chronometer and enable it at the proper time to show the feature. A person may misunderstand what is normal second count vs chrono...

@@sabataqvi5715 not a great watch, yes it is complicated but it is hard to tell time as dial is so crowded with so many hands and contrast is not that good. My humble opinion.
Can someone inform me about setting the date functions between 19.00-6.00 hours? Why is that? What can happen? And is this just for setting the weekdays (mon-sun? Or also for the day of the month hand? Thanks for explaining!
Hello guys! Can you let the chronograph on this watch run continously? Somebody experience with that for a couple of years? Thanks for the responses! Regards, Olaf
Its one of the hands in the 9:00 subdial, the other hand on the 9:00 subdial is the 24 hour indicator The running seconds hand is kind of hard to see in the video though
Is it safe to stop the chronograph and never reset it? For aesthetic reasons, I would like to stop the chronograph somewhere outside of the moon phase display (somewhere between 4 to 8 hours) and then not reset the chronograph, do you think this could damage the watch?
Really curious if it's possible to switch from the stainless steel bracelet to leather strap and vice versa. Anyone know? Pretty close to pulling the trigger on this with model with the bracelet
I really like it, i just dont want to spend another $3000 for ETA 7750, but they do have a point about all the complications for the price, i have to talk to the pillow about this one
Es un hermoso reloj muy completo para un precio muy justo para lo que ofrece el reloj y ofrece más aún, yo tengo ese modelo y estoy contento y más aún por ese calibre que se ve hermoso cal. 687 basado en valjoux 7751 pero este es más modificado con rueda de pilares genial y armonioso,saludos desde lima-PERU
Loved how it has everything and what a busy dial. Let my urge to buy sink in and went to see it in person eventually. Not as interested now also due to the busy dial, it lacks the elegance of dress watches...for me
If it was an in house movement the price would probably close to double. And it would be up against a lot more competition. But at this price point this watch is amazing.
That’s a modified 7750 movement. You wouldn’t want an in house with something that complex. This is one of the most serviceable and robust movements in the industry
the readybility is poor, with all that long blue hands. the crown is very stiff, at least on my piece. otherwise a very nice watch with lots of complications for a very reasonable price...
Didn't know this watch existed until 30 minutes ago but now I must have it. Just stunning, and for an affordable price. I'm sold.
Try Hamilton panda.
Hamilton Panda…u kidding? Not even close to the Longines MC MP
I just found out about it and am definitely in love. I can't believe I was going to settle for something else. It has everything I'm looking for.

Still love looking at this piece. Always make an effort to go and have a look at it whenever I visit the AD. Thanks Tim.

@@the1916companywatchreviews can I get this watch for $2,300
Looks like good value for the money , nice looking piece .
Longines watches are just classy and well styled, with great movements. The value for money is good, I think they are great!
I have this watch and it’s beautiful! Only downfall is as I get older my eyes need glasses to appreciate all the detail.

been looking at this model, super super intriguing and tempting considering the value at this price range...
Fantastic watch this is the most bang for your bucks for solid everyday nice looking piece
Excellent presentation, very descriptive and to the point.
This watch, for it's price range, is just unreal indeed. Sold out at my AD currently.
Here in India these are always in stock.

Very concise review. Thx!
Awesome Watch
What do you think between this and the chronoswiss lunar 7523?
Great video.
Very complex for its value. A true bangers for your bucks. Great review timmy.

Very nice piece. I believe they have a 40mm version which would be my choice
I have tried the 40mm some years ago, felt too small and I have a rather small wrist. I ended up going with 42mm.
Any issues with the watch since purchase? Any concerns?
I have same and it's amazing 👏
The best longines !
Sorry guys what one is the second hand?
The smaller on left mini dial
Its one of the hands in the 9:00 subdial, the other hand on the 9:00 subdial is the 24 hour indicator
The running seconds hand is kind of hard to see in the video though
My watch stopped working because the button pops out when I press it, what to I do?
Es un precioso reloj en 42 mm, muy elegante. Un reloj bonito siempre lo será!!!!
How much does it cost
That's a whole lot of watch for the money. Between this and a Tudor GMT you've basically got every complication covered.
Is it safe to stop the chronograph and never reset it? For aesthetic reasons, I would like to stop the chronograph somewhere outside of the moon phase display (somewhere between 4 to 8 hours) and then not reset the chronograph, do you think this could damage the watch?
There’s nothing wrong with doing that!
Really curious if it's possible to switch from the stainless steel bracelet to leather strap and vice versa. Anyone know? Pretty close to pulling the trigger on this with model with the bracelet
I really like it, i just dont want to spend another $3000 for ETA 7750, but they do have a point about all the complications for the price, i have to talk to the pillow about this one
Such a pity Longines didn’t go with a 22mm lug width.
I love this watch, the only thing i dont like is the gold moon. Does anyone know if it would be possible to modify the moon to look more realistic?
😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
why is the little 24 hour dial not independent - a gmt?
That would be awesome if it was.
Can you set a second time on the 24 hour internal dial?
No
love it
Tried it on at Nordstrom and I'm about to sell all my omega for this.
Is the date represented twice or am I missing something?
No
man , this is very very complicated movement i saw this much complication in only patek grand chime , thats a million dollar watch

Is 2200 US dollars a fair price for this watch new?
I have it new for cheaper
Loved how it has everything and what a busy dial. Let my urge to buy sink in and went to see it in person eventually. Not as interested now also due to the busy dial, it lacks the elegance of dress watches...for me
I have a Cartier Tank to balance it out with this haha. You sometimes feel ‘complicated’!
I have one
How much do they charge for this one?
The Johnny sins of watches
The only thing it doesn’t have is lume
Its such a shame this is not an in-house movement.
Stunning watch
If it was an in house movement the price would probably close to double. And it would be up against a lot more competition. But at this price point this watch is amazing.

Kasa kütük gibi bileğe oturmuyor başka marka bakın derim 👎
👍
Printed dial at this price point is a joke!
Just don't like giant watches
The watch is too big for you. So no, don't recommend it for 15 cm wrist circumference. Ffsake.
