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 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.

[@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)?

[@ajmarion]

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

[@tschoy9388]

Dear my friend, I am a Longines Zulu Time and HydroConquest GMT owner, go for them you will have no regret.

[@OneLordeAnimeClips]

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.

[@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!

[@haromaster6086]

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

[@stephannordmann5346]

Without any questions 🎉 Longines

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@yimuwood]

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

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Thanks bud, appreciate that.

[@word42069]

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

[@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!

[@minimalistmaverick]

What size is your wrist if i can ask? (I know, annoying question) lol

[@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.

[@rho58]

I probably would have gone for the Hydroconquest in my college days.

[@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.

[@Fliper2551995]

Is this 41mm or 39mm hydro?

[@Zeus-kj7nn]

It's definitely a 41mm

[@scollyutube]

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

[@Dpak1980]

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

[@willsmeg1967]

What a great review. Longines are outstanding but it this one bb58.

[@rudolfkamijan3762]

Love both brand I got the BB and longines Zulu times blue dial

[@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

[@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 :)

[@simonwright6882]

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

[@zackchariah]

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

[@vvalera]

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

[@The_Racha]

As a Tudor fan, the Longines wins. I may pick one up this year.

[@minimalistmaverick]

Stoppp!!! don't hype up Longines before i buy the models i want lol. They've been knocking it out of the park lately. And i'm worried if they become more popular the prices will go up. You can scoop up the hydroconquest on the gray market for like $1250-1300. The spirit Zulu time gmt is also sexy AF. BUt more expensive

[@robbiecleighmarks3088]

love Longines, but this is an entry level Longines vs Tudors ride or die flagship model. Value=HYDRO Better=BB58. Start comparing a Zulu or Spirit and that's a very comparable matchup.

[@gregthomson7889]

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

[@willvb756]

The 39mm HC is actually 12.2mm thick

[@jogi453]

Well I bought them both over the last few months and it’s safe to say this video is responsible for this🤣

[@Superstar49173]

the finishing on the tudor is obviously better. but does it justify the 2x price tag. not sure

[@brett233]

Better bracelet, movement, brand and more refined overall design make the price difference worth it. Find a BB58 lightly used and it’s a great value.

[@george88pizza43]

Hope the secret brand coming to Chrisholm Hunter is FP Journe 😉

[@mattiaroverso1321]

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

[@90SecondWatch]

I have the 39mm Longines on my wrist as I type. The Tudor is probably the better watch. But when you factor cost-to-value ratio, Longines is the winner.

[@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.

[@betod63]

that hydroquest is the 41 not the 39mm. It seems to me that the 39 looks better proportioned in the bezel/dial ratio

[@george88pizza43]

Can’t deal with the wide hands with shallow depth. Reminds me of fashion watches and certain tissots of a significantly lower price point.

[@shipmate3577]

imagine, a Hydroconquest with "white dial" AND ceramic bezel.

[@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.

[@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 😢

[@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.

[@jesselivermore4318]

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

[@LingLing-ou6nt]

Blackbay Bronze comes in 43mm

[@rw2724]

Tudor... hands down!!!

[@andrewe.8321]

The Tudor is gorgeous, but the Longines punches far above what the price would suggest.

[@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.

[@michaelgalloway3855]

I own the longines in 39mm so that is the watch I would choose as I have but looking at all the specs the Tudor is a “better” watch but I just don’t like it the hole black bay the snowflake hands look wrong with round markers it should have had Mercedes hands and kept the Tudor rose or had square markers like the Pelagos what is a watch I love and own too the lack of a date is a big no for me as well also i can’t stand the fake rivets. I know it’s part of the retro style but so was the rose

[@roxys744]

People compare bezel turn, and I can bet 99% never turn the bezel when they wear the watch! Lol

[@drnick40]

Buy BB58 pre-owned. Under $3k any day in a perfect shape. It doesn’t get better than that.

[@r7coo]

I don't view those two watches as natural competitor's.

[@jollyrob]

The BB wins in this comparison for me but when/if the Longines is updated to match the new Hydroconquest gmt it would be a different story.

[@thearmandoandvaleriegroup]

Tudor all day!

[@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.

[@pauldennis5655]

The date window on the Longines ruins the symmetry of the dial.

For me, it’s a no- brainer Chisholm: The Tudor Black Bay is just a loose replica of the Rolex Submariner. So for that matter, but the original model. Longines is clearly the choice for me.

[@michaelriera6277]

I really wanted to like the hydroconquest. In hand it looks odd and the goody numerals make it looks cheapo. The BB58 is so refined, well made, and will age much better. As to the thick bracelet of the Longines, that is never a benefit.

[@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

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

Longines Hydroconquest is the king of value divers but I would still pay the extra for the BB58 I have owned both

[@fontyyy]

The Tudor is almost cheating as it harks back to the Submariners of old, that look is hard to beat.

[@SIZZO76]

Tudor is a Fake Rolex 😂😂😂😂

[@fontyyy]

I wouldn't call it a fake, as there has never been any attempt to deceive, but the original Tudor Prince Submariner was a Rolex with a cheap mech and a different dial and later hands. It was a cheaper Submariner for those who couldn't afford a real one. It has plenty of real Rolex parts on it. Obv the current Black Bay 58 (and 54) are no such thing, they are genuine homages (a San Martin or Pagani Design is not a homage, it's a fake with a different logo) to the Tudors of old, built to modern standards and TBF at least 30% overpriced.

[@shamsulbahrin6703]

Longines surely is the better watch. Its look, 300metres water resistant and its price.

[@hilmidawood5648]

Thai is not a fair comparison. Tudor black bay is $4000 and Longines is $1300. Tudor is more expensive and has more quality. This like you comparing Rolex submariner with Tudor black bay!!!!!
