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.

[@Businessblend]

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!

[@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)

[@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.

[@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?

[@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.

[@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

[@colauxbenoit4303]

Nice video. You say that we won't find a better quality watch than the Longines for 1500 but I think that this watch could exist => C60 Trident Pro 300. What are you thoughts ?

[@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?

[@impoautosguatemala9847]

Totally agree.

[@HHasan-of2vi]

I purchased just few days ago Certina ds action diver 43mm in blue color and I think it is better than Tissot but the brand is less known among masses.

[@postilla4618]

For me:1)Tudor BB58, 2)Eberhard Scientigraf, 3)Zodiac Super Sea Wolf COSC, 4)Wyler Vetta Jumbostar chrono, 5)Longines Ultrachron

[@aliibn-muhammadal-sharif8568]

Love this channel. Any chance of getting your thoughts on the Breitling

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Absolutely! Thanks mate, I’ll work on this for You.

[@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.

[@luiso29]

between the Oris Aquis and the Longines Hydroconquest, which one will you suggest?

[@DRRNDL]

hydroconquest

[@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

[@derickc8615]

Where does Baumé and Marcier fit in this conversation, if it should be included at all?

[@fredericbourgeois-leblanc3578]

Great picks! I do own the Longines Hydroconquest as my first luxury watch and I'm very satisfied with it. My next target is either an Omega Seamaster or a Tudor Black Bay 58, but they're going up in price range, it's getting crazy.

[@jackiemoon_lms]

From having both, I’d say go Seamaster. No doubt.

[@SIZZO76]

Buy the Omega SEAMASTER. Omega is a higher level watch!

[@fredericbourgeois-leblanc3578]

@@SIZZO76 thanks for the tip! I was sure that Tudor and Omega were at least kind of similar in quality.

[@SIZZO76]

@@fredericbourgeois-leblanc3578 Thank you my friend. The Omega SEAMASTER is a iconic watch!

[@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]

Toyota give you a 10 year guarantee🤷‍♂️ Btw love your videos. Keep up the good work

[@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.

[@markveganism5003]

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

[@geno816]

I agree with you

[@XHobbiesPrime]

That Zulu Time! 😍

[@Olddirtytiger]

Eying up that Oris Aquis 👀

[@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.

[@MarkDanger777]

I've always heard bad things about oris, that's why they have such long warranty. Was actually going to buy the oris aquis cherry red but too many negative reviews on it

[@JaLLY77]

Mido ocean star?

[@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.

[@SteveFWatches]

Longines has been conquering serious ground lately with their Spirit line but Tudor will always be the best bang for buck under $3,500

Hi I’m looking to buy my first watch would u go for the pelagos 39 or the Seamaster 300m

[@key4duty]

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.

[@SIZZO76]

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.

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

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

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.

[@mntbighker]

Amazon reviews on Hamilton might lead one to fear reliability. Tissot gets bad mouthed by watch builders for having plastic parts in the "Swiss" movement. #shrug.
