Longines are producing some brilliant new watches. If you compare them to Tudor, what has Tudor produced that isn't a "Black Bay" ...or a close relative of the BB ?. They are becoming a one trick pony. I have recently bought 2 Longines watches. The 40mm Spirit and the Titanium 'Big Eye'. These watches could not be more less alike and are excellent, great value watches. I think Longines suffers from watch snobbery. If you stuck IWC on them, you'd be charged an extra $5000, and this bump would make them superior watches for some.
Way too Rolex submariner homagey for me. They literally ripped off the lugs, oyster case, and crowns straight from the submariner. I mean just look at the lugs and the side slab of the case 😂. They even went as far as taking the maxi dial of the submariner and simply inverting the indices on the dial LOL. All they did is inverted the batons found on the 6 and 9 of the sub maxi dial to circles on the longines and then inverted the circles on the submariner dial to batons on the longines 😂😂😂😂. But one thing positive to see is that it looks like manufacturers are finally starting to put decent clasps with quick adjust on the fly. It's great to see this on a sub $2700 watch. It's a good looking watch, it just does so at the expense of borrowing most of it's DNA from the submariner. Yet another homage to the sub. They should have at least kept the sharp crown guards. And they should have used the zulu time case. Now that would have made it original and classic longines and would have looked beautiful.
I’ve owned a Hydroconquest for 6 years and this model is a great improvement. The crown guards and bracelet are much improved. I recently upgraded to an Omega Planet Ocean and thought I would keep the Hydroconquest as a back up. Maybe I’ll sell it and try one of Longines new gmt’s as my back up watch. For the money it’s hard to go wrong and the movements they use perform very well. Love it
I love it, like if a Sub and a Planet Ocean had a baby (who took a bracelet from Uncle Sinn). Honestly didn't even notice the circle indices until you pointed them out either. Looking forward to the comparison with the Zulu!
Having owned two previous Hydroconquest…both were great watches, I can’t wait to see these in the stores, so I can get the look and feel in person. Definitely checks off a lot of boxes for me.
Agreed! its pretty incredible to see what longines managed to put in here for under 3k and for so much less than their competitors. Lets see where this line goes from here!
That is a really nice watch TWI, the combination of a timing bezel and a GMT works very well and it certainly looks very smart. The bracelet is very good from what you showed us, the on the fly micro adjust is a definite plus as is the taper. The multitude of shapes for the dial markers oddness could have been avoided if the date was at 6 and placed the circle at 3. It's OK though. I do like that splash of orange on the dial for the night time GMT hour along with the outline of the GMT hand. The Spirit will carry a cost premium as it's COSC certified so that might explain some of the extra cash. As usual, a cracking review and thanks for sharing.
Thanks Anthony! Yeah dive gmts are awesome combo since i rarely if ever need to track a third time zone so iitts the best of both worlds! And yeah they did a good job on the bracelet I'm glad that they decided to go for the heavier 5mm taper down to 16mm instead of only 18mm. This would have felt a bit to big otherwise, for me at least. Ah yes i forgot that the Spirit Zulu Time is cosc certified but even with this one not being cosc certified its staying true to the accuracy range in multiple positions so its like i got the chronometer rating for free lol!
@@thewatchidiot I have a few classic Longines that I purchased over the years, a Sector Dial, Tuxedo and stainless steel BigEye among a few others and they all run within COSC. The finish is way above what you'd expect at the price from my experience.
I like that it's a diver with GMT function, not a GMT with a lot of water resistance. I think that while a GMT bezel is good, a diving bezel is more realistic. Quite easily a great do-it-all for those that like larger watches.
very similar look and feel with the Omega Planet Ocean GMT black dial orange GMT hand. although of course the price difference does show in terms of the movement + extra details like the arabic indices for the PO. If I were on a budget, this Longines will make a good alternative
21mm lug width looks much better than 20! Its odd that people rarely mention lug width unless its 21mm! It looked and felt cheap to me compared to Zulutime. The front of those lugs looks 'pressed' rather than milled to me : ( How can you not mention the awful gap between the end link and first link??!!
It looks good. I'd go a smaller version if they do that like the Zulu time. Pelegos 39 GMT would be just about compulsory buy depending on thickness. Interesting San Martin has one already with NH34 movement and it looks great, only it's in stainless steel.
I love the heritage lines from longines, for instance the legend diver, I am not huge on the zulus but I can appreciate them... The hydroconquests though, as good as the value proposition might be, to me they're just yuck!
Its just nice to see a brand make an effort in each type of watch, the vintage heritage lines, the modern vintage inspired spirit line, and the full on modern conquest and hydroconquest lines! I can see why folks arent fans of the hydroconquest tho, the previous generation wasnt for me at all
Finally someone who agrees with me that the Wimbledon dial is disgusting! Always hear people talk about Oh it's so collectible it's the best one to buy It's beautiful I love the Wimbledon dial
I’m sure the quality is there but not feeling the design. It looks very generic and derivative with the faux snowflake hour hand and Planet Ocean bezel insert. The dial could have been improved by replacing the 6 and 9 circle hour markers with numerals or rectangular indices.
Nice we're very much alike! Yeah Longines is doing great things with the spirit and conquest / hydroconquest lines hopefully the do more with titanium tho, this hydroconquest GMT in titanium would be spectacular!
A truly great watch. Way better value than the BB Pro..and thinner. The only thing I would have changed is the bracelet pins, I'd love screws. But that is not a deal breaker imo.
@carlvoxvires the BB Pro's thickness and disgusting hand finishing (look at that black "paint" on the center pinion, jesus) kills it for me. I find this one much more interesting.
Now that you’ve had time to spend with both the Hydro GMT and MM200 GMT, which do you think will stay longer in your collection? Caller vs Flyer GMT aside, just wondering which of the two you tend to be more impressed with when you look at it on your wrist? Also curious about the comfort comparison if you could please. Glad to have stumbled upon your channel recently. You make great content. Thoughtful and thorough. You should have more followers!
So I tried this on in store and I was appalled. Absurd levels of bezel play and grit, and over half a millimeter of gap between the left of the bottom endlink and the left lug. Bracelet was sharp and rattly, and micro adjustment was hardly more than a single halflink’s worth. Terrible quality sadly, just like Tudor.
This is a great release from Longines. I get the quibble with the circle markers. It would be a bit more symmetrical if it had a 6 o'clock date, but I have seen those exact markers on a vintage Longines diver. I can't recall where I saw it right now. They didn't just make it up for this release. The quick adjust should be the standard for any diver costing 4 figures, or at least $2K and up. All in all, Longines has really been stepping up their game on their latest releases. I think they've been more inclusive of enthusiasts, while not getting rid of casual entry luxury watch buyers.
The indices are a throwback to their (not particularly successful) Admiral 5-Star dive watches from the 90's, Longines just hasn't done a great job explaining that.
The dial is so messy and asymmetrical (indices) that it totally ruins this watch to me. Otherwise it would be excellent, especially the blue and green dial versions, where the 24-hour ring have a more subtle font color. I really hope they won't update the non-GMT Hydroconquest the same way.
Ooft, pricey. First thought after hearing the price, just get yourself to the same dealer and get the Sinn 556i, same price for a classier watch with 200m water resistance. Classier looking and much more of a GADA piece.
I own this and its great , very comfortable. Mine does have a slight rattle from the movement rota, im guessing this is normal ? ?. Mines running at plus 2 seconds a day which is impressive .
I love this watch! Need to see Sunray brown in the flesh before I hand over my money though! If it’s as beautiful as the green then it’s a no brainer for me! Great review!
The indices at 12, 6 and 9 just look off to me. They are too small and need to be larger at the cardinal positions than the rest of the markers for orientation purposes in my opinion.
If you measure most 'half' links, you will realise that they are pretty much always 2/3 links 😉 Its so you can get a good fit without relying on the micro adjust. Different combinations of full and 'part' link give you more options than if they were full and half.
Wonder if they had made the date a circle, or added a circular magnifier (gasp), if it would have made it look more symmetrical. Nice that they added the female end links on this one. Wish they would have done it with the zulu time. Ah well, nice looking, but sticking with my AR on this one.
Funny, one of my first thoughts was a rounded date window. Either way, it should have been lumed as well. Definite interest in this watch - nice review.
Great video! Been wondering if you would jump all over this Hydroconquest GMT! Congrats on the pick-up! That is a great looking watch and makes me think of an Omega Planet Ocean and Submariner having a baby, LOL! The case is quite Rolex-y for sure but the bezel and dial give me Planet Ocean vibes for some reason.
Not bad but 174 grams on the bracelet is waaay too heavy for everyday wear and the 21 mm lug width is terrible. they are just trying to get you to buy their straps at a premium price. The resale value of this is also atrocious so if you want to get out if it you will lose almost all your money . The movement is also nothing special in my opinion . The main issue I have is the weight though, some foolish people still equate heft with quality ; it’s not the case . A watch on a bracelet for everyday wear needs to be under 130 g to be comfortable .
the dial design is really weird and asymmetric. How is this slimmer than the zulu time with divers depth rating? I kind of like this but something is just off. The diamond hourhand throws me off with the rectangles, circles and triangles already on the dial. At least the date seems centered.
Yeah the dial isn't for everyone for sure, very much a quirky dial. But as for the thickness i think it's down to the spirit zulu time having a domed sapphire crystal and this one having a flat one bc if anything the spirit zulu time feels a bit thinner. And yeah thankfully the date has been centered since I got it and hopefully it stays that way!
Got to touch and feel the green hydro gmt with bracelet. In the longines case it stuck out like a shining star. Quality is on another level, quite a beauty
Theyve done a really good job with this one I've been wearing it more over the past few days for my upcoming long term review and ive been loving it more and more. the refinement is just next level
to be honest, this is the first longines that i really like.
They did a good job with this one for sure! I'm excited to see where the hydroconquest line goes from here
So glad you decided to be honest with us this time and decided not to lie. what about the other times though? 🤪
Dear internet stranger, how would we know if you weren't being honest?
Zulutime is good roo

This
Looks great. If they had put the date at 6 the symmetry would be better with the two circles at 3 and 9
Having owned two previous Hydroconquest…both were great watches, I can’t wait to see these in the stores, so I can get the look and feel in person. Definitely checks off a lot of boxes for me.
The new HydroConquest is the do-it-all watch. Best bang for the buck today.
Agreed! its pretty incredible to see what longines managed to put in here for under 3k and for so much less than their competitors. Lets see where this line goes from here!
Now if Longines would come out with a 39mm hydroconquest gmt ,i would be all over that immediately
I've wanted a Pelagos, a BB58 and a Zulu timer. This is a perfect mix of all of them and my blue HCGMT runs at +1/day
The Spirit Zulu Time wins in this comparison in my opinion, however it is great to see another traveler GMT option in the Longines catalog.

Spot on about the round indexes.
Good job. Greets from Warsaw.
Can you do a comparison video between the Seiko SPB 383, Tudor Pelagos Black Dial, and this Longines Watch? Great content!
Yes do a comparison Longines Spirit Zulu Time GMT vs Longines Hydroconquest GMT.
21mm lug width looks much better than 20! Its odd that people rarely mention lug width unless its 21mm!
It looked and felt cheap to me compared to Zulutime.
The front of those lugs looks 'pressed' rather than milled to me : (
How can you not mention the awful gap between the end link and first link??!!
I own a hydroconquest and love it. That Zulu time tho is beautiful.
It looks good. I'd go a smaller version if they do that like the Zulu time.
Pelegos 39 GMT would be just about compulsory buy depending on thickness. Interesting San Martin has one already with NH34 movement and it looks great, only it's in stainless steel.
Perfect! Now @ #Longines: GIVE US a 39mm Hydroconquest with improved bracelet ❤ or at least a 39mm Conquest 🎉
I feel like this next to the Monta Skyquest ($2500 ish) is a good comparison. As both have the micro adjustment strap etc.
Been on the fence for a while but I think this settles it for me. Great video thank you!
I love the heritage lines from longines, for instance the legend diver, I am not huge on the zulus but I can appreciate them... The hydroconquests though, as good as the value proposition might be, to me they're just yuck!

I prefer the Zulu time over this. The random assortment of dial indices gives me the yips.
Very cool watch! For me the Zulu in gold/green is still my #1, but this is another great release from Longines
Definitely not forgetting Tudor
Looked at this at the AD last weekend. Looks cheap and shiny in comparison to the BB GMT, which I own. Not even close.
the new Blue hydro on the bracelet is nice , the black one looks pretty meh its better on the rubber .
Finally someone who agrees with me that the Wimbledon dial is disgusting! Always hear people talk about Oh it's so collectible it's the best one to buy It's beautiful I love the Wimbledon dial
Can not unsee the circle markers!!!
The Mido GMT would be perfect if it wasn't 44mm
Pelagos 39 all night long 😂
fingers crossed for a pelagos 39 gmt!
@@thewatchidiot different color schemes would be nice, shadow the pelagos!
I’m sure the quality is there but not feeling the design. It looks very generic and derivative with the faux snowflake hour hand and Planet Ocean bezel insert. The dial could have been improved by replacing the 6 and 9 circle hour markers with numerals or rectangular indices.
Nice review👍
Is the clasp compatible with the Zulu 39?
honestly I found this a puzzle of many styles.. doesn't have a own personality i prefer the hydroconquest diver with big numbers
Gorgeous!!! Looking forward to owning one soon!!!
If this kept the arabic numerals, I would have one on my wrist today. Now it just looks like a Rolex Submarine wannabe.
I did not realize it came with the 2/3 size link. This will help it fit better for me. Thank you for pointing that out. 8:29
Longines have used this dial on the Longines Admiral diver.
loving the look of this watch my only problem for me is the pinned bracelet, I hate that for this price range of watch but that's just me.
I like you have the Tudor Pelagos LHD I sold my bb58 to purchase a Longines ti spirt have since bought serveral Longines great watches
Nice we're very much alike! Yeah Longines is doing great things with the spirit and conquest / hydroconquest lines hopefully the do more with titanium tho, this hydroconquest GMT in titanium would be spectacular!

Have you had one on your wrist?
@@alfieakaronaldog yes I have tried them. Why?

They should have made the date window circular and made the 6 and 9 indices the same size as it (a little larger).
That tudor at 5.38 is beautiful
Hand a hands on with this and it will be my next watch. It's stunning.
If they'd put the date at 6 the 2 circles would be less offputting at 9 and 3.
Yeah considering the spirit zulu time movement has the date at 6 it wouldn't have taken much effort to use in this watch! Maybe for the next version
This is a great release from Longines. I get the quibble with the circle markers.

The bezel clicking could be better. The ratcheting is not as robust as others
Longines has basically unabashedly raided the Rolex stylebook for their recent lineup 😄
I dont really like it. The dial symmetry breaks it for me. I have the Zulu 42 mm green and ultra-chron for comparasion in style…
I own this and its great , very comfortable. Mine does have a slight rattle from the movement rota, im guessing this is normal ? ?. Mines running at plus 2 seconds a day which is impressive .
The Tudor looked so much cleaner / more refined next to it
Yeah true with all due respect to the video, Tudor is superior in my opinion
Not for me. The Zulu is 100x better looking. That clasp is the only thing I wish the Zulu had.
I love this watch! Need to see Sunray brown in the flesh before I hand over my money though! If it’s as beautiful as the green then it’s a no brainer for me! Great review!
I’m torn between this and the Tudor black bay!
Having the same problem. What did you end up getting?
Forget all overpriced Swiss watches. Check out San Martin with Seiko movements.
Longines win over BB Tudor for me. Value for money
Curious if this bracelet would fit the original hydroconquest? I have the gray ceramic hydroconquest but would love this bracelet on it!
I am not feeling it. Man that bezel is shiny and the hands don't do it for me. I think the Zulu Time GMT model looks better.
The dial looks pretty cheap and uninspiring
Does yours have a quite stiff crown? Mine seems kind of hard to turn. No other watch I have seems that difficult.
It would be perfect if not for the indicies at 6 and 9.
@Longines please make another iteration of this watch without a date and shorter lugs this would sell like moonxswatch 😊
The biggest issue with this watch is deciding which color to get it in.
It looks a lot like a ginault silent service (which is a rolex homage but some design modifications)
I was thinking of a hypodconqusit but it was light and felt cheap.
This looks a huge improvement
Wish they would do a diver gmt with the spirit line instead and use this bracelet with female endlink and on the fly adjust.
The indices at 12, 6 and 9 just look off to me. They are too small and need to be larger at the cardinal positions than the rest of the markers for orientation purposes in my opinion.
You said it right. „Close to be perfect“. I do not like the second hand. But the Perfect thing: your Video and all the informations.
This watch is not finished well.
Looks a lot like my 20 yo 16710; very tempting but can not unsee the round hour markers….
I hope the non t gets this update will also be cheaper
The DJ Winbeldon dial is such an eyesore for me 😵
To this day I don't understand how someone at Rolex saw that 9 o'clock marker and thought "yes this is good to go"
@@thewatchidiotmust have been a 5pm Friday submission LOL
@Hi_Scoops and they happened to submit one of the unfinished drafts 😄
Looks like another wannabe subby to me…

Its so you can get a good fit without relying on the micro adjust.
Different combinations of full and 'part' link give you more options than if they were full and half.

I got to see it and I was not really impressed. Precision wise it is still like the hydroconquest which I do like.
If the date is at 6, the whole look will be more symmetrical. Thanks.
Great video! Been wondering if you would jump all over this Hydroconquest GMT! Congrats on the pick-up!
That is a great looking watch and makes me think of an Omega Planet Ocean and Submariner having a baby, LOL! The case is quite Rolex-y for sure but the bezel and dial give me Planet Ocean vibes for some reason.
The only thing stopping me flipping my Tudor GMT for this is the movement accuracy.
You failed to mention the fact that the bracelet is held together with pins instead of screws.
Easy fix on the dial design ...put dots at 1, 5, 7, 11. Keep dot at 9. Change dot at 6 to baton.
Not bad but 174 grams on the bracelet is waaay too heavy for everyday wear and the 21 mm lug width is terrible. they are just trying to get you to buy their straps at a premium price. The resale value of this is also atrocious so if you want to get out if it you will lose almost all your money . The movement is also nothing special in my opinion . The main issue I have is the weight though, some foolish people still equate heft with quality ; it’s not the case . A watch on a bracelet for everyday wear needs to be under 130 g to be comfortable .
I kinda agree with you but my Formex Reef on a bracelet weighs 173 grams and is the most comfortable watch I own.
LMAO, look at all those Rolex design aspects.
the dial design is really weird and asymmetric. How is this slimmer than the zulu time with divers depth rating? I kind of like this but something is just off. The diamond hourhand throws me off with the rectangles, circles and triangles already on the dial. At least the date seems centered.
Yeah the dial isn't for everyone for sure, very much a quirky dial. But as for the thickness i think it's down to the spirit zulu time having a domed sapphire crystal and this one having a flat one bc if anything the spirit zulu time feels a bit thinner. And yeah thankfully the date has been centered since I got it and hopefully it stays that way!
Omega planet ocean rip off!
Hi Do you think the bracelet for GMT fits the hydroconquest 41mm? Thanks!
Unfortunately if you're referring to the previous generation Hydroconquest 41mm, then the bracelet will not fit due to the change in midcase design
@@thewatchidiot Thank you for the answer sir 👍🏻
Got to touch and feel the green hydro gmt with bracelet. In the longines case it stuck out like a shining star. Quality is on another level, quite a beauty
