Is this the BEST GMT of 2023? The Longines Hydroconquest GMT Automatic Traveler GMT Under $3000

[@manuzach]

Got that brown dial superb! The bezel could have been a little better, a bit of back play exists

[@tschoy9388]

Hi Chris, I am the owner for the Green Dial for 3 weeks. I love it and even wearing it during sleeping, that is 24 hour a day. I have come across the same difficulty of Green or Brown, so I go to the AD and take on my wrist . I choice the Green one because of my skin tone is close to the Brown version and it like disappeared . I have to tell everyone that the micro adjustment of the bracelet is amazing. You must try it.

[@resjon7981]

For those who dont know the dial is based on the Longines Admiral vintage diver. Dashes and dots instead of dots and dashes. Opposite of the Submariner.

[@mitchmatic8029]

Great vid Chris. Omg, I have been lusting after these-and the Conquests-since they came out. Simply elegant. Best watch of 2023, I think. Update: Got the green.

[@IndestructibleNopal]

That brown colored dial is sexy as hell. Great watches, thanks for sharing.

[@Elad747F]

I thought the same thing about the brown one, but I totally agree that he is just beautiful..thank you very much.

[@bestboy897]

really beautiful colors no regrets if u go with both of them :D

[@jimlima4066]

I really like the brown and my favorite is the Sunday Blue😍. Great review Chris👊🏼👊🏼

[@jimlima4066]

Sunday blue🤔 where that come from🤣🤣. Let’s just say the blue is sharp looking 😳. Ahhhhh SUNRAY BLUE !!!!

[@philiplauzon1743]

Seiko SPB383 is the GMT for me. Unbeatable for the price

[@andrewcastaneda1067]

Are you really comparing a 383 and this HC GMT??? 😂😂 The seiko is an office gmt. This is a true gmt.

I've always liked the Hydroconquest . But i like the Spirit better. I'd take either one .

[@LectioDivina33]

100% agree!

[@thestu21]

Tried both on last week and was expecting to MUCH prefer the Zulu but left the shop totally confused. Both lovely watches

[@richardvanfrank8114]

Well, I took Chris's advice and bought the green dial from Exquisite Timepieces. It has to be ordered from Longines, and I hope it will be shipped to me in two weeks.

[@cohecency7288]

TBH this sent me looking for your review of the Formex. 😍

[@efenli]

👍👍👍 Exclusive , Elegant and Nice Watch 👍👍👍

[@LectioDivina33]

Its a H link bracelet not an oyster bracelet.

[@aaronyong8029]

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the smaller circular indices just somehow don’t sit well together with the other rectangular ones 🤔

[@z06cowboy72]

No, it’s not just you…the dots kill the dial to my eye.

[@kostar500]

Bro, many have complained… trust me…

[@hemantishwaran5741]

Does not bother me. It’s stunning

[@richardvanfrank8114]

I don't even notice it when I wear my Hydro conquest GMT.

[@stonecold2176]

Rolex do the opposite on seadweller, all round, but batton at 6 and 9. Doesn't bother me.

[@danryan4137]

Can’t wait to see the 39mm model…You know it’s coming😊

[@giovannigastaldi8597]

How u know that?

[@danryan4137]

@@giovannigastaldi8597 okay, call it wishful thinking and hoping, eventually they will do it and I’ll buy.

[@timyoungnc]

How does it compare to the Monta Skyquest?

[@richardvanfrank8114]

I love and have a few Monta watches, but I bought the Hydroconquest GMT over the Skyquest for the following reasons: Longines is a better known brand than Monta; the Hydroconquest has a travellers GMT movement with a 72 hour power reserve and a ceramic dive bezel while the Skyquest has an office GMT movement with a 56 hour power reserve and an aluminum 24 hour bezel; the Hydroconquest has a 5 year warranty while the Skyquest has a 2 year warranty; and I was able to buy the Hydroconquest from an AD at a price cheaper than the Skyquest.

[@wenbodon7794]

The wiggle room of this bezel is yuge

[@scollyutube]

Agree. Just give us a 39mm, and even better in Titanium like the Zulu time is currently but not a limited release.

[@cembozkurt8377]

Seiko spb381 👌

[@Tangylives]

I don't like the lack of contrast the GMT hand has with the other hands and dial. Spirit 39 GMT all day, any day (the Hodinkee is the best looking sadly).

[@rrs23]

a masterpiece !

[@dc4127]

Beautiful ❤

[@cliffordrichardc]

like this both

[@nunoandrelapa]

My favorite gmt of 2023 is the Seiko Alpinist. It is the PERFECT watch, it can do it all!

[@giusepperocchi2979]

Except keeping accurate time.

[@knight0924]

That’s an H link bracelet right? I’m not crazy? Haha

[@knight0924]

Also, the Hodinkee Spirit gmt is titanium!

[@WatchChris]

No you're not crazy. I think I might be. I'm thinking one thing but I say another... Lol

[@WatchChris]

​@@knight0924Yes, they actually released that watch after I made this video ironically...

[@knight0924]

@@WatchChris you predicted the future. That’s an absolutely beautiful watch! That the one to get if you ask me. Blows the Tudor out of the water. I know a lot of people are comparing those but spec for spec and price for price, I think there’s no comparison

[@ryangochuico]

I prefer the look of the Longines zulu time😊

[@justinhogue9861]

They need to add the quick adjust clasp on the zulu time. I use that all the time. These 3k watches really need that.

[@Horizontalvertigo]

The 4 different styles of hands kills it for me

[@giusepperocchi2979]

Just like the Rolex GMT.

[@josemourinho673]

Ginault silent service 2.0 😂

[@elinalagunas-t2b]

[@dado380]

Clearly that’s not oyster style braclet, H link!!

[@Michael-ko8uf]

That bezel action is crap... wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. 🤣

[@zman8340]

Colors are less than desirable, throws it all off .

[@richardvanfrank8114]

There is also the more traditional black and blue.
