introducing the all-new Longines... wait! it's not new... okay introducing the old Longines heritage
sector dial from 2019 making its return back to the channel!!! back then we really didn't know
how to make videos... Wife: "and you still don't" FT: okay just ignore her and because I love this
watch and I'm always thinking about it I wanted to do a better job on the review I think it deserves
it being the best sector dial on the market now I know some people are gonna say the JLC
master what is it master control but it has the cheesiest skeletonized hands a pathetic excuse
for a crown and of course the hideous date window breaking up that sector dial and also the brushed
stainless steel section of their sector dial is way too thick it's almost like they did not want
to hire a designer to design the watch okay enough bashing on the JLC, I love the brand jlc founded
in 1833 the watchmaker's watchmaker but Longines founded in 1832 a year before with an incredible
heritage many world firsts one of the most important houses in watchmaking when you wear
a Longines you can almost feel that heritage and there is a tremendous amount of pride here now why
haven't I bought this watch I love it I obviously do I'm obviously biased maybe the price 2150 usd
what are you getting for your money is it worth it in this video I'm gonna try to find out why I
haven't bought it yet now the case is completely brushed technically this has pilot watch DNA and
it has a nice big 6.7 inch crown giving the watch 30 meters of water resistance so only splash
proof but this thing should not see water anyways still wish it was 50 meters at least these are the
measurements that I got 38.7mm in diameter we have a thickness of 11 millimeters including that boxed
sapphire right there with ar no drilled lugs and a lug to lug of 47.7 pretty long reach here for a
38 but it manages to turn down dramatically at the end so we can kind of negate that negative now the
sapphire crystal is a bit strange with the frosted edge right there I've seen micro brands with
a dome this high that have a clear edge so I think Longines should polish that sapphire and get it
clear I love a dramatic crystal I'm a big fan of a dramatic crystal i think it elevates a watch big
time but with the cloudy frosted edge it kind of takes away from the beauty of that box sapphire so
maybe maybe that's what's stopping me it could be it I am the pickiest watch collector of all time
but you know what maybe it's not that but that might be a big part of it the case back is ultra
high polished and it says EFco a nod to mr. Francillon the nephew of the founder of Longine
who created the first factory for Longines loving the nod to history and remembering family on this
historic piece so big fan of that do I wish we see the movement no I'm okay with it now the dial in
hands this watch is truly all about that dial enhanced heat treated blue pencil style hands
that are done to perfection capped in the canon pinion looks unbelievably gorgeous even the rim
of the hands that connects to the canon pinion is beveled perfectly the small seconds hand is also
heat-treated blue now they did create a regulator and modify this movement to create the spacing
between the two pinions however I think it's a little high the six o'clock Arabic is cut off more
on the original so maybe they should have lowered it just a bit to get that ratio more dialed in
now there is a brushed stainless steel portion on the dial it looks gorgeous
and the way it contrasts with that eggshell creamy white in the sector is absolutely mesmerizing
I find myself staring at the dial frequently I'm not a fan of this strap 19mm and the color just
does not feel premium it's fuzzy and ah I just really dislike this it's nice and smooth on the
inside with calfskin here and it is soft but it's just the look I think any other strap would look
better on this watch I can't change it because I don't own the watch and you know once you once you
change a leather strap it's the watch becomes used here's a rich royal blue let me cover up the top
yeah that looks a lot better yeah any strap would look better on this
so definitely a big ding is the strap and maybe I just can't get past the strap
okay let's check her out on the timegrapher we do have the l893, 27 jewels hack and wine automatic
25,200 vph with 72 hours of power reserve silicone balance hairspring all right look at these numbers
270 amplitude a lot of beat error 0.5 not a fan of that beat error but look at the rate
zero negative two negative two zero zero let's do one more negative one okay we're going to do
12 down now to see how it's going to perform on your wrist 251 amplitude we did get a drop
in amplitude the beat error actually got better at 0.4 so that's inter okay never mind
it's back to point five but you can't complain with this rate plus one negative one zero and the
fourth and final round zero wow Longines always does well on the time graph the finishing on the
watch is pretty good but I did find a black speck maybe you guys saw in the macro somewhere around
the 1 or 12. I think it popped up in the macros a couple times go back and check that out if you
want to see I can always drop the movement and take a lens swab and just get it out but
I should not have to do that but that's not really a deal breaker you cannot see it with the naked
eye other than that the finishing is great the hands are perfect alignment they're very clean
very low dust level so I had to mention that because we're very strict on finishing here
on this channel but why haven't I bought it I think maybe it's the crystal maybe it's the strap
I don't know I'm still undecided and I still absolutely adore it maybe it's a bit too boring um
I have no idea so I'm still at a loss why I haven't picked one up I do love the silver
arrow I need a long jean in my collection and I'm thinking silver arrow maybe 36 millimeter legend
I don't know but the silver arrow reminds me too much of my king
and I think the king is just way better so so I don't want two of basically
almost the same watch so this is still a strong contender and I'm still considering it let me
know your thoughts what should I do what do you guys think the reason is let me know down below
