Owner Review: Longines Heritage Military – Connected to the Past
Piercing pain of singing cicadas, dry and dusty smells of a silver mining town and the scorching hot grass leading under the constantly cool corrugated iron water tank that supplied the house. All these memories are seared into my being. Various things remind me from time to time of my childhood but they are somewhat…

Owner Review: Longines Heritage Military – What is heritage with no story?
I like watches, but what I like more are the stories associated with them. That is why I ended up picking the Longines Heritage Military. WW2 is an important event in mankind’s history. It changed the world map forever. And the RAF played a crucial role in Great Britain’s contribution to the allied forces winning…

Owner Review: Longines Heritage Military L28114530
Despite managing to only find two Instagram posts from Longines around its release in late 2016 and a small handful of online reviews since this time, the vintage appeal of the Longines Heritage Military L28114530 was just too good for me to pass up. To this very day, this watch remains one of my favourite…

Owner Review: Longines Heritage Monopusher Chronograph
The current Longines brand is stuck between a rock and a hard place within the Swatch Group. Those that know within the vintage world are well aware that Longines should be higher up the swatch luxury pyramid due to their historic contribution to fine watchmaking. Their horological input far exceeds that of their adopted big…

Owner Review: Longines Legend Diver L37744506
I don’t pretend to know everything about watches. I do however think that learning in the world of horology doesn’t stop and more importantly, many lessons have been and will continue to be learned along the way. Many pieces have come and gone, many with a pleasant good riddance for a grander piece, a grander…

Owner Review: Longines 8229 Chronograph – The evasive Longines beauty
It can be boldly stated that this is a spectacular piece. It is for sure one of the watches getting the most wrist time and attention in my collection. Which says a lot since my primary collecting interest is focused on military chronos! The case of the Longines 8229-1 is a peculiar one. There are…

Editorial: Is the Longines 30ch the Best Chronograph Ever Produced?
I am a passionate collector of Longines chronographs and I would like to dedicate a “love poem” to Longines 30ch chronographs, which was designed in 1947 after having ceased production of the previous and fantastic caliber 13ZN. The 30ch was produced until the early years of 70s. I think that the 30ch is an authentic…

Owner Review: Longines 30CH Chronograph
Longines chronographs with the 13.33Z, 13ZN and 30CH calibers are (imho) the most beautiful in-house, hand-winding chronographs ever produced. Today I am talking about my mid 50s Longines 30CH Chronograph steel ref. 5982. I often use it in rotation with other Longines chronographs in my collection. I wear it on any occasion but not when…

Owner Review: Longines Legend Diver
Legend has it that reissues are on-trend, and it appears that will continue for some time yet. Longines has lead this game and were one of the firsts with the release of the mighty Longines Legend Diver. While the case is faithful to the original 42mm, modern upgrades include screw-down crowns and a sapphire crystal…
