My first Swiss watch purchase was earlier this year, a Hydroconquest in 39mm. Absolutely in love and now I want more Longines like the spirit. I can’t believe the movement features and quality for the price point. Other brands at that price give you base Stelita or ETA that have like 40 hours of reserve. Longines is serious quality

[@kubowich]

what brands give you base Sellita for 2k ? Hublot or IWC ? Oh wait...they give that at 6k.

[@rmd4209]

Fantastic video Harrison! I honestly believe that the 'Luxury watch' classification starts with Tissot as a brand. I would love to have a Hamilton Khaki field or a Longines, a brand which I was skeptical about in the past but now I love. 😍😍 Keep it up!!

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Thanks mate!

[@Kl0ckWrk]

My first swiss watch at the end of 2022, a Zodiac Super Sea Wolf skin. I absolutely love the thing and the vintage style. Zodiac has a lot of history I think people forget about.

[@mikesheehan5946]

I've always found the hydro conquest to look a little odd. I can't quite put my finger on why, but I think it's the massive and imposing numerals. The spirit watches are beautiful. You'd never guess the spirits and the hydros were from the same brand (removing the logo)

[@steffo8581]

I’ve ordered the Longines H. Today I have Formex Reef as my daily use together with Apple Ultra watch.

[@MKGamingInvesting]

Longines Spirit is probably much better then them all, cause it got vintage and modern, shiny and tool watch and a unique design for a pilots watch

[@Mlridge]

Tissot was better. Value for money

[@timepiece_enthusiast]

[@garythomas3150]

I know that we kept this list limited to brands sold by Chisholm Hunter (totally fair), but I would have to suggest that any honest discussion about entry level luxury needs to include Christopher Ward. My $900 USD CW Sealander GMT gets more wrist time than my Tudor steel and gold GMT or my white gold Datejust. I just bought my wife a 36mm Tiffany blue Sealander, and I am about to pull the trigger on the bronze Aquitaine. And…I haven’t even mentioned the Bel Canto at $3,500 USD. Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@tobie80111]

Great explanation, thanks

[@ejames6431]

These are definitely some nice watches for sure.

[@9er..]

Such a loaded question my man!!! Love your choice. How about some advice how to build a collection after one gets their “ first”. Speaking for myself, I approached it like a crazy person; skipping around from comp to comp collecting this and that all while trying to save for the Rolex or Omega that I’ve been programmed to want even if others in my collection are horologically and aesthetically superior.

[@kerryjgee]

Exactly. Its programmed into us to go higher and higer in value

[@elliotjackson1814]

Have a Black Bay 58 and a PRX myself! Though mine is the quartz 35mm as I liked the fact it’s as close to the original Seastar as possible.

[@Gearsandco]

In my opinion the best entry level luxury diver is the Longines Legend Diver, I would probably get one in 36mm since the 42 is insanely large for me, and my second favorite would be the Black Bay 54.

[@antonhallergren588]

Idk but I've always seemed to stick to the 1-3k price range. Anything more expensive and I get afraid someone's going to either Rob me at gunpoint or something is gonna happen to the watch and it'll be lost or broken. Plus you can buy 3k watches that hold up to watches priced 2-3 times higher in many cases. Longines is a great example of that. Also discounted or pre owned Breitling or omegas are amazing watches that usually go around 3k.

[@EastCoastPGS]

I agree with you. I think the $2-3k price range is the sweet spot for a good watch you can wear everyday and not be to worried about what happens to it.

[@kinkykylie7210]

The Longines Conquest should have made this list in black 39.

[@tfpp1]

Good to see Chris O’Dowd still working after The IT Crowd.

[@felaron1]

The L888 movement in the Hydroconquest is not COSC certified. And the movement is not inhouse. Longines exclusive, but still a modified ETA.

[@vizor4u]

Quite the same with this Oris.. it's not Cal 400 (their new inhouse movement since the price is not for entry anymore :) )

[@vizor4u]

Actually I just read there are SOME L888 that are COSC certified like 888.4 and 5

[@johnmacintyre6231]

On the case back it does say COSC certified

[@stevem863]

I guess I only agree with the Longines and Oris as entry luxury. Don’t forget about Tag , Sinn, Ball, and many others in that 2-3k range. But is that price range really luxury?

[@DangoGSD]

You have missed Victorinox watches

[@tpoz48]

I have a Tissot Gentleman and Longines dress watch. Hamilton Khaki will be my next watch. Can't say I'm an advocate of climate change as defined in modern terms. However, I love the outdoors, both aqua and terra (reference my Omega). When outdoors I leave no footprint! On your best day, you couldn't track me. The land and water is about respect, not ideology.

[@basselamjad958]

Union Glashutte Belistar Date Sport Pro at 2850 euros is a great bargain judging by the specs and masterfully crafted simplistic design of the watch, I say it's definitely a Great entry level Dive watch with 300 meters of water resistance.

I own a HC. Just love it...

[@jimlittle5769]

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Cheers Jim!

[@Tableturn]

I like a lot of Longines but the Hydro Conquest is truly foul, in my opinion. The dial feels badly unbalanced with the date at 3 and the 12, 6, and 9 being so large. Give me the Spirit Zulu Time any day of the week instead.

[@XHobbiesPrime]

That Zulu Time! 😍

[@citroenbas]

Great video Harrison, but…. Yes, a manufacturer of cars actually gives 10 years of warranty. It is called Toyota.

What do you think of the Longines Hydroconquest older model

[@bizzclub8622]

Baume Mercier, Oris, Tag Heuer, Maurice Lacroix ?

[@RuiMFilho]

Como você elencou um Tissot na sua lista, sinto-me a vontade para perguntar o que você acha dos relógios "Mido", marca que também faz parte do Swatch Group. Tenho um Mido Ocean Star Titanium (bezel de alumínio) e acho um relógio bastante honesto pelo preço (cerca de US$ 1k). Já cogitei trocá-lo por um Tudor BB58, como relógio de uso diário, mas não sei se a diferença de qualidade o BB58 compensaria a troca. O que você acha?

[@onifrakimarq7663]

Fun fact: Tudor and Rolex (Hans Wilsdorf Foundation) are doing at least as much for the nature as Oris, maybe more!

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

That's epic news I'll have to look into it. Love it when brands donate to good causes!

[@timemeasured9137]

I really like the longines hydroconquest 41 ,grey ...3 of my mates have slagged the watch ..now they only rate the higher end watches and dismiss everything else which is annoying..I've sort of come to this conclusion that I am bothered about what people think ..at the end of the day it's jewellery and its purpose is to look good .spending nearly 2k and then having people laughing at your watch is a bit shit but ..ultimate I really like it and might go for this over the blue dial tudor bb 58 ...think for the price and what it offers its an amazing watch

Why longines is listed as entry level ? The quality on metarials, the mechanism they used, the attractiveness and the brand history they have is amazing which is in my opinion same as Tudor. But when it comes to lists you see that longines is shown as entry level. I just dont understand…

[@kickstothehead3705]

If the next step up is Rolex and Omega then I don’t think it’s entre level all of them but the black bay fit tho

[@Marty-xr7rd]

Defining "luxury watch" really isn't easy. 60% of the watches presented here are brands of the Swatch Group where I have my reservations considering the quality of the movements. Therefore I would not for example consider the Tissot PRX a luxury watch. Simply going by price in my opinion is too little criteria. By style this is a great selection though.

Pelagos 39 is way better value for the money. Seamaster is the better watch in terms of specs. But pelagos has better dimensions imo. In the end it comes down to your own preference, which one do you like the most?

[@CharlieCudmore]

SMP300 better watch… If only it came in 39-41mm

[@jackiemoon_lms]

Smp300 without a doubt. That titanium is a scratch magnet and movement is much beater in the Seamaster.

It’s no comparison. The SEAMASTER is the better watch

[@key4duty]

@@SIZZO76 No comparison? Are you joking? Pelagos for that price has steel bracelet and rubber strap and it's dimensions are in high demand. Better value for your money when you buy it and better value for your money when you regret your purchase. Omega will depreciate much more. Pelagos will still sell for the same or slightly less. But yes the Tudor is more of a toolwatch in terms of looks, omega more stylish but too big imo.
