NEW Longines Conquest Chronograph - Budget Daytona?!

[@bradentraub]

Longines has the best overall catalog of ANY watch brand, in my opinion. Even disregarding it's reasonable affordable price point, their designs consistently slap.

[@Greygoose3130]

Yeah these guys just can’t miss lately

[@MarkDanger777]

I didn't really like anything before the zulu time, but zulu time and after, everything looks really good

[@tudorserban111]

And now the Legend Diver 39 just dropped. My next watch purchase for sure.

[@БојанПавловић-е3й]

I only wish they bring back heritage diver chrono 1967.

[@bobbyb7633]

easily the best catalog of 2023. All the others are just using their status to hang on old designs, Longines just keeps dropping dimes!

[@mintruth]

That BLACK dial is HANSDOME, but that CHAMPAGNE dial is GORGEOUS!!!

[@Danter5435]

4:25 Reminds me of the dilemma when closing a French door refrigerator oddly enough. You feel like you can do it either way but only one way closes it proper and keeps your food cold. Food for thought :p.

[@edjustice7755]

Longines has grabbed my attention for sure with the CQ GMT n this Chrono...I could become a convert...Cheers the your share n work u put into this!

[@stevens1041]

Longines has been having huge wins, the past few years. Incredible value for money.

[@Adams420]

I mean that really depends on your definition of value lol. But they are nice solid watches that are up there with the best of them at a price point that is not "insane".

[@stevens1041]

@@stevens1041 you didn't, those are my words. Most "regular" people would consider the prices of luxury watches to be "insane".

The Swatch Group needs to hire new Designers for Longines. These Tons of Steel are Abominations as are Their other Pieces!

[@barclt01]

@@highwaystar3780Then why are you watching the video and commenting??? Oh that’s right, you’re just a troll!

[@MarcoDeLasVegas]

I think the best comparision isn't with Rolex Daytona but with the Breiting Chronomat, especially with the gold/champagne dial!

[@anthonybastick7370]

Except putting that in the title doesn't get you as many clicks as when you use Rolex. 😂

[@highsoflyify]

Yes that's true. but both go in the same direction. The metal bracelet of the Breitling is pretty unique and different from everything else. So it's okay to make the comparison with the Rolex

[@jonnyg5210]

It’s lovely but what’s the point of crown guards when there’s sticky out pushers either side?

[@camels3269]

Damn this Conquest Chronograph is gorgeous but just like with the 'regular' conquest 2023 rework I wish they offered a smaller version too. If Longines could make the regular Conquest in 38 or 39mm and the chrono in 40 just like their heritage record this would appeal to the smaller wristed part of the world as well. You can buy clothing in different sizes, why do watch manifacturers need to wait a year to release a different size for the same watches? At least Longines is releasing different colours straight away so props to them for that ;)

[@bumcrackwatchco.]

I agree , the "conquest" stands out for me also as the most timeless and attractive

[@jamesblonde2271]

just buy a prx and spend the change on a holiday😂

[@tansmay23]

Conquest 23 is beautiful

[@Adams420]

I think maybe give it 1-2 years and I can see them releasing smaller versions. They usually come a bit later anyway.

[@bluebox303]

Regarding the comment at 9:35, Rolex is also a mass-produced luxury good. Given they make over a million watches per year, they make more watches annually than most watchmakers (Longines) included, do in the same time.

[@goranurovic5329]

Great watch, beautiful design. Longines have done great updates.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

I take it over the Tudor chronograph in a heart beat. The 12 hour counter and no date layout is a huge +++ for me

[@steelsteez6118]

Tudor chronograph a much better watch than this woth the B01 movement. Also way better design and looks nicer

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

​​@@steelsteez6118Taste is subjective. I can't stand the Tudor chronograph it wears like a brick and the faux riveted bracelet is a visual annoyance but hey if you like it. Then go ahead and like it. Nobody is telling you not to but I can't stand that watch. Also Snow flake hands on a chronograph makes 0 sense

[@BORN2LOSE13]

@@lonewolfemcquade8133 I have both and if you think the TUDOR wears like a brick you'll HATE this watch.

[@kevinparker461]

@@lonewolfemcquade8133 And for me any watch without a date also makes zero sense. I use the date on a watch more than i do the time, having a crap memory doesn't help! so a date is a must.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

​@@kevinparker461Well I guess your in luck. Because there's alot more watches with date complications than without. You're memory must be really bad if you need to look at the date that much. I have nothing against date complications. Since 5 of my watches have a date window but on chronographs I prefer no date complications. Especially on a triple register chronograph

[@taharais5304]

Longines is on a roll! ❤🎉

[@FultonJ]

Difficult to choose my favourite watch but it’s between my sapphire sandwich speedy, on top of all of that heritage, the window on that movement is spectacular, And my Longines spirit titanium, which is so light, and the metal has an aged dull look about it. In certain positions the hands remind me of an airplane propeller. Both watches have sentimental meaning to me. I’m going to say the spirit, but ask me again next week and I’ll probably change back to the speedmaster.

[@jameskerr1954]

That gold dial is beautiful. It allows it to be worn as a dress watch as well as a sports watch. Just wish it was a little smaller.

[@FilipWerstler]

I just bought it yesterday and I AM SO HAPPY with my choice! It's my first "big boy's watch" in my collection and it looks stunning. I was going for Omega Constellation 41 or Tag Heuer Monaco, but I decided that for the first watch I will not go that far. And even if it's not an Omega - boy it looks and is fabolous. Thanks for the review!

[@noorgaarddamsgaard9866]

Just got mine today too. Pretty happy overall

[@rwatkins24]

I just bought one of these ( in black ) its stunning and a very similar looking to the latest Rolex Daytona 'white gold' version. I got mine for £2350 brand new .. very happy with it so far

[@geopapak2632]

Love the gold-sampaigne dial but above all silver panda dial 💪👍💪

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

I really need to see the silver soon!!

[@MarkDanger777]

I didn't like longines pre zulu time, but since they released zulu time, everything after zulu time looks amazing, including zulu time. It's like Tudor post BB, I didn't like tudor before the black bay catalogue.

[@melonmate4482]

Amazing review! If I had to pick a favorite watch I’d say the JLC Reverso, such a classic design and it’s fun in such a simple way

[@brianwolfgeher1833]

Harrison, great review! A couple of things that I love about this watch that I don't think you mentioned. The faceting on the outer rim of the crystal enhances the seconds track which is a slick feature on a chronograph where precision timing is key. Also the lower part of the bezel affixed to the main case is angled towards the center of the watch and polished adding an awesome detail to the bezel. Couldn't agree more about the clasp. Very disappointed with it considering the Spirit clasp comes on a cheaper watch and is much better. I went ahead and swapped mine out with a rally strap. Thanks for the review! They are lacking on KZbin for this model.

[@sachinmore8731]

Awesome dials, loved the champagne one. Nice review as always 👍🏼

[@anjav6]

Nice review! I am suprised that Longines didn't go with a column wheel chronograph from L688 series fort hat price... Could you please do a review of a Longines BigEye!? Pleeasee!

[@kimchiwasabee]

They've killed it w the new-style crown guards!! Aaaaahmaazing!! Def a want buy.

[@maverick_supernova]

This is what love at first sight is... saw it yesterday for the first time in the shop... instant attraction !

[@anthonyw7237]

They have some on eBay right now for 7-900 brand new from China and Japan. The dollar is very strong right now and your money can really go a long way if you have US dollars. I just bought a new Longines Conquest with Black dial for 718 dollars with box and all paper work brand new with the plastic still on

[@jonnyg5210]

A better comparison would be with a Tudor chrono ?

[@Watchmade]

I tried the Conquest in brown on my 17.5 cm wrist. Let‘s face it, it is way too big. We need a 38mm version.

[@ozmondos]

Chronograph movement with current WR and antimagnetic properties can't be that small. Even if they make it that small, it would be too thick and the case will not be nicely balanced.

[@zeusinho1986]

Bought the champagne dial today on the rubber strap and it has replaced my yacht master as favorite watch. Longines absolutely killing it!!!!

[@shariqsheikh1780]

I too bought same confi 3 days back😍

[@justjames3145]

Reminds me of the older small block Tudor Prince / Oyster Date Chronos

[@TheKopolanpoika]

I'm not huge Longines fan, BUT that black dial is SIIIIICK

[@spacejaime]

Stunning, absolutely stunning! Longines smashed the ball out of the park! BTW, one of the questions in a standardized I.Q. test is how to close a butterfly clasp. 😂

[@peteclarke6364]

Lovely looking but does such a heavy taper on the bracelet knock out the balance? I think this obsession with tapering on bigger watch cases can feel a bit top heavy?

[@BORN2LOSE13]

I own it and you're right it does.

[@paulsampson413]

Very nice, but I prefer my Longines Hydroconquest Chronograph with the L688 column wheel movement. unfortunately for some reason it appears to have now been discontinued, glad I got mine when I did earlier this year.

[@moneymikz]

Looks good but I never use my chronograph and they’re expensive to service

[@rolandnyul]

Does somebody know what's the lug to lug?

[@igor240898433]

This is definitely my dream watch! But now they also offer the Marco Odermatt Limited Edition, navy blue dial with silver subdials and red accents, absolutely stunning!

[@watchman6844]

Very similar to the PRX chronograph in my opinion. This wears quite large so I am wondering if we will also see a 39mm Conquest chronograph. That would be a no brainer at this price point, especially when your grail watch is the Daytona …

[@pault6731]

A great video and a nice presentation of the Conquest Chronograph as an owner of a couple of Longines already I love the look of the champagne dial, a very good looking watch.

[@nickcorleone8709]

Longines has really upped its game recently, and is clearly after a slice of the Tudor price range buyer pie

[@nickcorleone8709]

I like the sub-dial colour contrast on the non-blue dials but am glad the blue dial only has a tonal sub-dial contrast

You've lost me at 14.3mm thickness. Is it really that hard to create a 40mm case with a movement as thin as Daytona?

[@drewhunkins7192]

I like the black dial the most of all. Primarily bc it's the one that least looks like it's trying to be a Daytona. It seems to stand on its own bc, after all, Longines is an excellent luxury Swiss watch maker.

I’d be buying plenty of Longines sports watches if they could get the size down to 39 or 40. Even the new 3 hand Conquest is too large for my taste.

[@pacisking]

they have some great 39/40mm.. the new legend diver looks great and is 39mm, the zulu time is 39mm, hydroconquest is 39mm aswell, spirit is 40mm.. and I'm pretty sure the new conquest will be available in 38 or 39mm aswell in the future

[@mschumer]

@@pacisking Thanks for the recommendations but I’m not into the Zulu time. Spirit 40 lug to lug is too long (I owned two). I have the 37 spirit. Don’t like the 39 Hydroconquest like the current 41 (would buy at 38 or 39).GMT is my Spirit 37 with a bezel.

[@mikeriley5176]

Great looking watch. But that bracelet seems to be a miss. Looks too small for that watch and why the butterfly clasp. Why not use the clasp from the new GMT with micro adjustment option. Longines acts like the young brother to Omega. They hold back just enough not to compete too closely.
