Longines Hydroconquest VS Tudor Black Bay 58 - Who Wins?!

[@rolandsv8]

A Hydroconquest is "they"?

[@johnraba9322]

The Longines wins. The quality is the same at half the price. The only differences are subjective style. The water resistance is superior with the Longines. The quality and precision of the movements are the same. Mine is well within COSC.

I'd say if you've shopping in the sub $2000 price range, the Hydro is easily one of the best options out there. Likewise for the sub $5000 range, you can say the same about the BB58.

I like the Longines better. In this case I like the slightly more modern look vs. vintage. The price difference is the decider though in that I don't think the BB58 is worth the extra money, for me at least.

[@fabianalvarezgarcia1630]

BB58 for me! I just prefer the vintage style design language coming from Tudor. I am currently shopping for the Longines Spirit Zulu, and this new Hydroconquest gives a nice alternative to that. I'm still gonna go with the Zulu, but this new Hydroconquest is a great option if you want something a little more modern

[@marcozuleta133]

Funny how watch reviewers will complain or dismiss the date window claiming "they don't use it" but complain or criticize the turning bezel...yeah cuz I'm sure you'll use it while diving 🙄🙄🙄.... nobody uses the turning bezel on a watch this days, nobody!

[@secordman]

Date window is important

[@isaiahthomasveluz1932]

Baaarrsss..

[@eurly93]

I literally use mine all the time when cooking, or working on a task for a certain amount of time. Not for diving but still plenty practical. To each their own

[@marcozuleta133]

@eurly93 I'm sure in modern life a date window is more practical than a rotating bezel.

[@bayflowshow65]

As an owner of both brands, I wear Longines more. But that might be an unfair comparison since it’s a Spirit Pilot. And the hydro conquest is the first watch that I have ever owned>traded away>and bought again. So there’s that. Price makes Longines more affordable while upgrading your collection nicely.

[@tvo6453]

I bought the Hydroconquest, for only a little over $1k…that’s less than a third of the price of the Tudor and it has been running perfectly….no contest, especially for the price.

[@brett233]

You can find the BB58 used for under $3k all day now. I’d go for that over the Hydroconquest. I find the Longines boring and chunky, even if the quality is pretty good.

[@jeffd3802]

​@brett233 snowflake hands on the tudor are gimmicky as well.

[@Dpak1980]

I got the Longines yesterday. Green ceramic bezel. Black dial. Green Nato strap.

I will probably buy the same. What do you think about the colors after 2 months? Thx

[@eurly93]

Worth mentioning the Longines loses 50% of value the second you wear it while Tudor trades for 75% of MSRP secondhand. Realistically you are comparing a $1,000 watch to a $3,000 watch in terms of secondhand pricing making the Longines MUCH more attractive as a used purchase, while the Tudor is worth the extra cash if buying new.

[@gabrielvillagomez2109]

Tried both, then a new configuration for the hydroconquest showed up, black dial, green bezel, beige markers and hands, green nato strap. Tried it, and it felt better for me, the color way on hands and markers scratched that vintage itch and the quality was unrivaled for the price. So, Longines for me, so far.

[@yimuwood]

Thank you for sharing this excellent video, I bought 39mm longings and I love it.

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Thanks bud, appreciate that.

[@MyCCW]

I really think the Longines HydroConquest reminds me ALOT of my 2011 Breitling SuperOcean. Applied numerals at the same locations...I have zero complaints of my HydroConquest.

[@thehighlandhamster]

I really love Longines but the Hydroconquest wouldn't be my choice. I just feel the 6, 9 and 12 numerials are too overbearing. Conversely, I like the BB but when I've tried it, it feels a bit dull on the wrist. You have to respect Longines for putting out such a good watch at that price. So neither for me (along I loved watching your comparison) but if forced to choose, I would probably just edge to the Longines.

[@unknowmale]

As a Tudor owner for nearly 2 years I would say this is a perfect watch.

[@vidalgomez4868]

I have both. They are both beautiful watches

[@TheIrishd501]

I have been looking around for a while and finally purchased the Longines in 43 mm with a ceramic bezel. For the price and value it was just so hard to beat.

[@stephannordmann5346]

Without any questions 🎉 Longines

[@dannychung9468]

Hello - it's indicated that the lug-to-lug on the Longines is 48.1 on their website, does it fit larger than the BB58 (47 lug-to-lug)?

[@FXSTB-i]

I owned a black bay on the distressed strap years ago. It was ok. Just ok. Never owned a Longines but recently saw a 2010 Admiral GMT and was pleasantly surprised by it. Going by that 14 yrs old watch the new Longines must be excellent

[@inthegallo]

Both so beautiful. I own longines hc it’s already 9 years and right now it had the first assistance. I own also the bb58s&g 41 mm but this simple smaller version is 🔥 😮 they both magical

[@farting505]

*longines wins on every aspect of looks, quality, price, and bang for buck! easy win!*

[@K.J.H_]

Love my HC, it looks both classy with a redined dial and very masculine with the somewhere brutalist case. Didn't know I needed this comparison, but im a fan of the 58 as well! 😅 Couple of things I think were missed: Battle of the snowflake hands, who did it better? What size HC is that? (I can see it's 41 but I don't think you said and it's not in the description anywhere). Sized weights would have also been useful if the HC is blowing out with a lot of spare links. I think it's just a heavy watch btw, mine on rubber is in the 120-130g range. Does the new gmt bracelet fit the old HC? Ok that one is just for me haha. Always enjoy your reviews of the HC, you showcase it well and shine a good light on it!

[@paul301]

I bought the HC 41mm green face and green rubber strap and the store I bought it from price matched a sale watch for £1275. I am sorry but for a saving over just over 2k the Longines wins hands down to me.

[@word42069]

When the hydroconquest gets the new clasp (from the GMT) as well as a cosc raiting.. it will be mine .

[@jeffd3802]

Tge movement in tge hydroconquest is wonderful, the bracelet itself sucks. Also tge case is razor sharp literally. Lol. Highly recommend the mido ocean star 200 Ceramic. Better bracelet with ratcheting clasp high polished beveled lugs and edges on bracelet are high polished not too mention the ratcheting clasp. And cheaper than a hydroconquest.

[@darrensworkshop6783]

I own the Hydroconquest in blue - great watch..

[@scollyutube]

Longines has a date and you can get a GMT hand and micro adjust for still cheaper than the Tudor too.....

[@ianlainchbury]

Longines for me, I found the Tudor didn't wear quite as nice. I think the Tudor had a pvd bezel too? Longines is ceramic.

[@ianlainchbury]

Lol... mentioned in the video, but... I am a longines fan :)

[@alfster24]

Are you comparing the 39mm longines to the tudor here?

[@haromaster6086]

Nice VS video. Need more. I need a date window and that puts the Tudor out for me.

[@pietbrookman1927]

Wearing my Longines HC for about 10 years now, more or less every day. No scratch, no issues. Super reliable. Still looking great. Hard to beat.

[@stackhouze7860]

Do you have the aluminum or ceramic bezel? I like the older style but concerned about the durability of the aluminum

[@pietbrookman1927]

@stackhouze7860 yes, my watch came with the aluminum bezel. But despite the many hits it had to take it still looks very acceptable to me.

[@lucamarangoni1543]

Obviously Longines L888 caliber and 300mt waterproof wins, at half price. Tudor suffers the Rolex disease 😂

[@DJModsChannel]

The bezel sound thing always gets me. Does anyone else out there love to go fishing and find these clickity click sounds rather similar to fishing reels?

[@muratyilmaz3262]

I am a big fan of longin, really in love with the hydroconquest collection. I will get one asap. Tudor doesn't have ceramic basel but it's more expensive? There is something wrong lol. Longines wins by far the best.

[@venrocking]

Hard to compare the two as one is half the price of the other and on the way out. It would be better to compare BB to new Hydroconquest GMT as they both in the same price range - which is what Longines is aiming for with offering more features for the same price as Tudor.

[@felipearthur88]

The Hydro GMT is 900 € lower than the BB58. I wouldn't say it is in the same price range.

[@zackchariah]

I would really love to see that comparison: BB 58 vs Hydroconquest GMT

Not really a fair contest, both excellent in their price brackets. My og 58 is a keeper for life.

Very nice the Longines but i prefer Tudor Black Bay 58 with old school games wins ❤

[@vvalera]

Longines deserves win here only for hands. As for me, I would prefer gmt version to get better bracelet.

[@EmptyPocketsXotics]

Granted, this video is a year+ old, but Tudor BB is now available in 41mm, so you do have more options now.

[@msk3905]

I do not think that you can wrong with either watch but for me I'd go for the lower priced of the two, I just cannot see paying large sums of money for a watch when there are COUNTLESS other comparable options with comparable quality and function. I like the crown guard on the Longines but wish that they a bit smaller but overall I think it's a better looking watch.

[@hugochapa6761]

Thoughts decision -Longines is nice and with the greatest value/cost ratio, si my head says it’s the best… but my heart thinks it’s the Tudor 😢

[@TheBigWrist]

Love this video. Loved it enough to post a similar one, thx!

[@Eveproguides]

Love my Longines but it runs -8 seconds brand new.

A day.

[@TheDominator74]

The problem with watches is that you never have enough of them. After my first Tag Heuer I have spent over 26000€ on watches. But I am not ready to stop yet. The Hydroconquest is as good as the Omega Aquaterra and the Harrods Tudor. They all keep the correct time. However I like the Tudor because it doesn’t have the date window. It is so booring to change the date. On the Seikos where there is the day also. And the retro look of the dial is classic

[@babyglocka3520]

Longines is an amazing watch every watch enthusiast would love to own

[@jesselivermore4318]

If you like refinement...have a look to what a Tudor or Rolex crown is...

[@FightGenius98]

The Longines is great, but the Tudor bb58 wins easily.

[@rasikakarunathilaka1134]

You are comparing Orange Vs Apple. Longines is good with other competitors concerning that price level. Tudor Black Bay is completely in a different league. I believe better comparison would be between Tudor Black Bay Vs Longines Zulu Time.

[@zackchariah]

I'd buy the Tudor BB58 immediately if it only had a date!

[@kylestevenson5600]

The Tudor BB’s in my opinion are massively overrated,the whole brand is so focused on the BB that they have taken their eye off the ball in regard to innovation. Longines have really been leading the way in regard to their spirit,Hydroconquest models over past couple of years. The fact Tudor have the audacity to charge almost double the price for a model that has less water resistance, no date function and no availability of different sizes is pretty comical actually. However you then remember they are owned by Rolex - and suddenly it all makes sense.

[@gregthomson7889]

I think the BB 58 blue (I have one) and Longines Hydro Conquest blue would have worked better for this comparison..

[@rudolfkamijan3762]

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

[@macj9590]

Who win the better movement

[@cab03004]

If Longines would fix the crown and crown guards I’d own one right now. Can’t get past that harsh look though and I know if I bought one they’d update it the next year and I’d be pissed. If I were in charge I’d bump up the size of the hour markers just a bit, keep the arabic 6, 9 and 12 , and change the crown/guards to be more like the GMT model. As is gotta give it to the Tudor even though my 7 3/4 inch wrist could never wear it.

[@Andy-wb9ko]

Check out the Hydroconquest GMT. The crown gaurd is less severe, and the whole watch is more refined.

[@chasingpenelope]

I've always thought the BB was a hideous looking watch so Longines all day for me in this one

[@Stian1342]

[@Fliper2551995]

Is this 41mm or 39mm hydro?

[@Zeus-kj7nn]

It's definitely a 41mm

[@theaj1nkya]

There’s no way to justify the 2x price tag of BB58. Even despite the price, I’d go for the Longines: Looks Sharper, Ceramic Bezel, is Distinct and not retro version of some higher watch - ahem Submariner.

[@natusMCMII]

I can't get over the fact that the Hydroconquest has a lume dot and a number at 9 o'clock but no lume dot at the 6 o'clock position, it drives me crazy! Skip the lume dot on the 9 o'clock position just like you did at 6 Longines!

[@codys5727]

The longines does nothing for me and i own the bb58. Price comparison is stupid as that's like claiming the 58 is a better watch than a sub. Yes it's a fraction of the price but obviously the 58 is better than the longines and the sub better than the 58. Comparing apples to oranges

[@respectablylate3081]

[@GU5S]

Longines. Tudor are so boring and the Snowflake hour hand is the just about the ugliest thing in the watch world.

[@MrHav1k]

The Longines watch looks so much better to me. The Tudor is nice, but once you're up in that ~$5K range, you might as well just put down the deposit and wait for the Roley. Tudor is kind of in a weird no mans land in that sense.

[@tschoy9388]

Just compare with Hydroconquest and BB58, I vote for Hydroconquest . Because of the price and outlook. Function is Longines win due to the date. The movement is Tudor win because of COSC cert. But the Tudor is twice the price.

[@willvb756]

The 39mm HC is actually 12.2mm thick

[@robertrocha597]

Both brands have size issues. One brand is always picking weird lug to lug sizes and then other is too thick. It comes down to price. Longine has a great price and design. Not many people would buy that watch so you onow it is a steal. Then there is Tudor which has the hype and the Rolex name. Either way you can't go wrong.
