#Longines - บันเทิง

*Watch the ROLEX EXPLORER 36 video here* : th-cam.com/video/LSXIbMt44GQ/w-d-xo.html
Longines just kills it with this watch. The history, the practically in-house exclusive chronometer movement, the case finishing. It’s just perfect.
yes and its a third of a Milgaus!!!!!
Longines taking Omegas spot as Omega moves up to compete directly with Rolex. I love it.. that $1500-$3000 range is so great
Yes
It’s Tudor that is taking Omega spot. Longines is filling Tudor spot
lol Omega ain't moving up nowhere
Such a great watch...I can't think of many others with that level of finishing and an exclusive COSC certified movement at a similar price.
Couldn't agree more! The enthusiast luxury sports watch right here!
This is my realistic grail watch.
As a female viewer who likes watches ( no jewelry watches) love this watch and I can wear it because the 37mm very wearable on my small wrist
I just got the blue dial Spirit 37mm. Looks incredible and worth every penny!
This is a gorgeous watch! It looks to be very well made, too. I like the black dial for contrast in low-light.
I have the black one, almost looks blue sometimes with the AR coating, the polished minute track bevel really stands out, green lume too. Didn't know the champagne had blue, that makes me feel a bit better not picking it. That sunburst is gorgeous though.
I've yet to see this watch in the flesh but it sure does look good and your example performs very well. The shift to the date at six works so well and that dial looks fantastic. The cherry on the top is the COSC certified movement. I'll not be looking at a purchase though as I have this type of watch already covered so can't justify it right now. In the future though it might just be on the list. Great photography and thanks for sharing.
The details on that dial 😍 Outstanding.
I think this is my favourite watch release in the last year or so.
This is frankly a quite a bit better deal than the Black Bay 36, though I suspect the steel models will get the same update as the S&G did last year, which will make it hugely competitive to the Spirit. I love the many micro adjusts (quick adjust would be great, but not everybody is Monta), the bracelet is more interestingly finished. The little details like the diamond on the second hand going over the diamonds on the dial are great. 72 hours of power reserve (while not using 3Hz like so many other Swatch group watches) AND COSC is just the chef's kiss. The 37mm size and champagne color make this a great unisex watch. I would like to see more champagne dial every day watches out there. I have tried the black 37 on bracelet on and while it's a touch smaller than I personally prefer, I could pull it off. The 40mm works well for me, but I don't like the date. That's okay though, because I really like the titanium model, which does not have a date. I have tried that one on strap, but have yet to find the bracelet variant in an AD yet. Longines is really doing some great stuff lately, and I think they deserve more respect. I hope they keep expanding this line. I think I will end up with a Spirit at some point, but I'm just not sure when.
I couldn't pull the trigger on the bb36. I tried many many times. I don't think its worth its price by a mile. The bracelet, I could never get a good fit. Removed one link, went out 1 micro or 2. nope. Added a link and went in a micro, no. Plus now they use the SW200 and they don't modify it like they used to with their shock absorbers and regulator. No AR coating is also a pet peeve on it. I think this year they will update the bb36 with inhouse, AR, and a T-link bracelet. Then I'm a buyer!
@@EscapementWatch Yeah, I completely get that. I personally found the BB36 too small for me (same with the new Explorer 36), but also found the BB41 to be bigger than I want! No Goldilocks moment. The lug-to-lug on the 41 was great, but the watch looked too wide, if that makes sense. They came out with a 39 AND 41 in the S&G and gave them more of an Oyster style case (lost 50m WR, but 100 is plenty). That and the new bracelet could get me to snap one up. My AD said the 39mm Tudors is the size where they sell the most models, which wasn't terribly surprising.
Yea the 39mm is a great option, makes sense it is popular. Yes the bezel on the bb is more flat and broad probably make it look wider. I found the explorer new gen to be a tad small. But 36mm OP and DJ's fit fine. I dunno why that is maybe the lug width playing visual tricks on my mind. 19vs 20mm. Or the large 3/6/9 shrinks the dial in comparison to the baton markers. or both factors.
@@EscapementWatch Now that the BBs (non-dive) have been updated, I wonder if it is a worthy (but more expensive) alternative to the Spirit. Both movements seem about equally accurate (MT5400 vs L888.4). The external AR coating of the Longines is perhaps a deal-breaker for me. Much prefer underside only AR coating.
Longines has been knocking it out of the park lately. I'd love to try one of these on in person - I have a 36mm Longines Legend Diver and love that though.
Same. I have the 36 mm legend diver in blue and now trying to decide between the blue or champagne spirit 37.
A no date version would be awesome.
Yep I'll be picking up the black version!
Loving Longines now, but the GMT spirit is my favorite......
I'm so happy with my 40mm, the 37 though is pleasing more wrists!
Pure class!
My next purchase! Dreaming about this watch since i tried it last summer!
Today I am wearing my Longines Spirit Zulu Time GMT in blue. It is a fantastic watch that competes head to head with my Omega and my Rolex. Fit and finish are way above this price point and the watch runs at +1 seconds on the timegrapher. Longines hit this one out of the park!
zulu time??????????? You must have BIG WRISTS!
@@EscapementWatch Yes, I am The Big Wrist, 8.1 inches.
hehe I know I saw your name before the first comment :P
This came around six months too late for me to consider when I purchased my BB36. The Longines is a subjectively better watch but when you has a 6 inch wrist the dimensions matter to the millimetre and I think that make end link extending the effective lug to lug length would have been a deal breaker.
Gorgeous in champagnes and blue though. Great watch.
This thing is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have the exact same watch and I couldn't be happier. The question shouldn't be whether 37 is the new 36, because this doesn't matter. The essential point here is that Longines might be the new Tudor as the latter are upping their prices and Longines on the other hand continue to offer the best value in the entrusted level luxury segment. The bracelet Pins aren't pin & collar by the way. They're split pins, albeit quite high quality ones which I'm a fan of now.
Actually Longines will up their prices on Feb 1st. 2023. They told me the average is going to be 7-10% across the board!!!! But if you look at their huge product range some watches will only increase by 3% some by 30%!!!!!!! so that is why on average they are saying roughly 10% increase across the board! And thanks for the info on the bracelet. I couldn't imagine it being split pins and I did not size it so I assumed it was pins and collars.
@Escapement & Watch Thanks for the heads up. But still I believe they're offering better value than other brands of their segment.
i bought the earliest spirit almost 2 years ago and still happy with it
hows the sapphire holding up?
@@EscapementWatch Great! As solid as the pyramids
Longines is an insanely underrated brand - but that's fine for me because I can get discounts that I would never get with Omega or Tag Heuer! 😄
My tag heuer carrera 39mm was priced 2500 instead of 3000 and i got a 10% discount on top.
Probably the reason why my main dealer don't sell any tag heuer anymore, the brand was probably pissed😂
Underrated? What are you saying...among watch enthusiasts no one is underestimating it, considering his decades of history
@@sallysbananenrepublik3740You're right, 500 euro of price increase in only one year is a shame, better the Longines Spirit at this price
Wow! That's my next watch! What a beautiful watch. No problem the male links...
Longines attract me way more than that brand. I have this 37 in blue and like it a lot. Though it does struggle against my Reverso, Snowflake, Tangente and Santos.
I’m a big fan.
Probably my best purchase. I got the 40mm blue dial in steel which is amazing ! However, if I go back, I’d get this 37mm champagne steel bracelet. Great piece that rivals far higher priced watches.
Good choice!
Wearing the black dial right now. Love it so much. Got it before the latest price increases so that's a little bonus as well.
The price increase isn't supposed to happen until February 1st
@@EscapementWatch well, "latest" wasn't correct probably. I got it at the end of June 2022, list price was around 2.1k€ (and got some discount). Current list price in Italy is around 2.5k€. Further increases would put it firmly above what I feel confident to spend. I have been lucky to buy my grail at the right time.
I wonder how much more it will be?
Longines says on average 7-10% higher prices. But if you look at each watch. Some only increase by 3% some by 30% So that is why they gave an average of 10% higher prices starting FEB 1st
We have same wrist size. I have the 40mm version and I will mention what I prefer and not because I tried on the 37mm version as well.
I prefer the screw down crown and the sand blasted hands on the 40mm version. I do not like the butterfly clasp. I felt the 37mm a little small on my wrist assuming this is a pilot watch so a pilot watch must wear a little bit larger-assuming my logic is right on this.
The readibility on the black dial is just phenomenal and it pops out amazingly in every possible angle.
My last thought: Longines should do this watch in 38-39 mm and not in 40mm or 37mm. But this is my thought which is subjective.
PS We need a 39mm Legend Diver!
Thanks for sharing! The 40mm is great!
Great watch! My only complaint is the 37mm doesn’t have a screw-down crown, but the 40mm and larger ones do.
massive oversight imo
It still has the same 100m of water resist as an explorer. It is not a concern in day to day life. But if your diving with the spirit and you hit a rock at just the right angle the crown may open.
37mm is for women who don't care about screw-down crowns. So it's irrelevant.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 ooga booga watch collector
@@bigmacdaddy1234 I’m a female and I care about it😊
I wish they would make the ultra cron in this size. Would be an instant but for me!
I saw one at Kavars! Beautiful. It looks huge though!
I have the Ultra Chron and it honestly wears very well......more like a 40mm due to its compact lug to lug. It is a great looking watch too.
Great vidéo ! The watch is gorgeous on the leather strap you put it on. May I ask where you got it ?
best straps on earth. TUNS from ETSY. I think big brands like Delugs just rebrand TUNS straps. hahah
Female end links would've been icing on the cake. Still good.
Great video. The lug to lug seems long though?
Not at all. I measure hugging the strap. So the measurement is from the sharpest edge tip to tip.
I got the watch as soon as it was released and it was the best decision ever. I almost got the BB 36, but I figured it it was a slighty overpriced watch with a basic ETA movement and only 38 hours of power reserve.
Yes the bb36 is overpriced right now. Maybe they will update it with the in house this september
What leather strap is that at the beginning of the video? It’s not the taupe strap that comes with the watch. Good looking combo!
TUNS strap. Super soft and strong.
I am buying that
i put that on a black strap total dress watch!!!
Love this one. Was just a little dumbfounded about no screwdown crown
What is the crsytal diameter on this?
What's the weight of the watch with bracelet?
bought the bb36 a year ago and spirit 37 recently, better movement, case finishing, more interesting dial, quick release bracelet, so.....the bb36 was sold
I love the bb36, case shape and looks. But I couldn't pull the trigger for its price. I stopped myself many times. Bracelet never fit me, no AR coating, sellita mvmt now. At its current price its too high!
@@EscapementWatch buy it used around $2k is a better deal than new. Wait and see if they update the movement and clasp this year.
Yeah I'm waiting for 4-5 things to be fixed with it. I doubt they will do all the changes I want but we shall see
@@EscapementWatch no watch will be perfect! Lmao for my budget my perfect watch would be a 38mm SBGH273 with an on the fly adjustment on the clasp.
Greta video but please bring the black dial.
Did I miss it in your video--what's the "secret measurement" the diameter of the glass/dial ??
sapphire/dial
Can you buy the steel bracelet after you buy one? Not having any luck tracking it down.
Yes you can! I'm sure some will pop up on the used market as well. In canada it is the same price for bracelet and strap so everyone takes the bracelet and sells it off. If they only wanted the strap version.
fantastic watch, no OP 41 SILVER, go with this one
Interesting that it's more expensive here than the 40mm. Would be nice yo see the dial colour offered on the 40mm.
the steel bracelet of the 40mm "standard" is inferior, no quick release and butterfly clasp. This bracelet here is as good as the one of the 40mm "prestige edition", which also includes a leather strap and premium packaging, and is more expensive than this. So I'd say it is a good tradeoff.
@andrea81 around £220 ($270) for an uprated bracelet seems steep.
@@jaysp1910 yet it's something you wear everyday, and that you are going to curse if you don't find a perfect fit with the butterfly or every time you want to switch quickly to a leather strap... and it's luxury items after all. Before the 37mm came out, I was set on the 40mm, but was bothered by the long lug-to-lug, and by the fact that I was going to get the inferior bracelet (didn't want to shell out for the even steeper difference with the prestige edition)... so when the 37 came out, I was like, BINGO!
whats the leather strap?
Great watch !
I can't understand the lack of screw down crown.
It is not needed. It has same water resist and screw down crown doesn't increase water resistance. It just stops crown from becoming opened from a hit under water. This is actually better as the case will last a lifetime. No worries of cross threads that can happen after many years of screwing in and out.
@@EscapementWatch
All true. And they used push/pull to keep the case thickness where it is. They say a screw down crown would have required a thicker profile for the 37. That's an excellent tradeoff in my opinion.
I recently purchased this watch, but had to return it. There was some noticeable dust under the crystal and the diamond lume plots weren’t properly aligned with the cutouts. You can see the same issue on this watch with the diamonds by the 2 and 3 ( 1:41 ). My copy was much worse. Small details, but given how often you’ll look at the dial (it really is quite excellent) it wasn’t something I could overlook - especially when you’re spending over $2k on a watch. Honestly, Longines could just leave the lume diamonds off given how visible the numerals are.
I ended up going with the Oris x Cervo Volante for a similar sized watch with an aviation theme.
Could it just be the angle with the dome sapphire distorting? @2:45 it seems ok. But sorry here your experience with this watch was not good.
I purchased a spirit titanium recently and it also has dust under the crystal. Other than that it's lovely. Dust kills it.
On their website Longines offers the 37mm also for women. Does this really work? Or isn't this watch still too big for a 15cm wrist?
Rolex did discontinue the 36 Explorer. `it is back now.
yeah I put in the top right corner a note: I mean 36mm in general. date just, op36.
I like watches that aren't clown sized too
Why did you not add the weight? It’s a useful measurement. I prefer a watch under 100 g so it is easier to disappear on the wrist. I guess only watches that have metal bracelets and are under 100 g will have to be titanium.
115g with full bracelet
Why Automatic on the dial, dammit man to much on the dial otherwise solid watch
With a female end link this watch would have been perfection. Still a great release regardless.
Almost perfect for me. Looked at this with a blue dial only last week. I just couldn't understand why you would spend the time and effort to make a quick release strap this well done and went without an "on the fly" micro adjustment? They missed a trick there and was a deal breaker for me unfortunately. Went for the Nomos Sport 37mm instead.
"I don't like that the Longines Spirit 37mm does not have a quick adjustment bracelet, so instead I went with the Nomos Sport 37mm which also doesn't have an on-the-fly adjustment." bruh 💀
What is your secret measurment for this watch?? Sapphire glass diameter?
Sorry I wasn't doing the SM back when this old video was made. Next 37mm longines spirit color I look at I will include it.
@@EscapementWatch it really helps us, thanks
In the video, you said, the bracelet is fully milled, but in other reviews i heard, that the overclasp (or whatever they call the thing with the "Longines" branding on it) is stamped. what is the truth? i ruled out the Spirit because of the stamped overclasp, but if it is in fact fully milled, then i think i found myself a winner!
it is milled
@@EscapementWatch thank you! In this case, I can't come up with any more excuse not to buy this watch.
hahah email me for a discount code!
5 year service intervals? Yikes! I have to confess, I don't send my watches into my watchmaker until they start to run out of spec. In some of my lower end watches I've swapped out the movement all together. Its just cheaper than servicing. I sent out my 16610 submariner for service a couple years back and as soon as I seen the bill I had to make an appointment with a cardiologist. Lmao
lol. Yeah the recommended service is overly pessimistic. I think you'll be fine 7-10 year intervals. My black bay 36 is 5 years old and amplitude dropped low 200's but still perfect time keeping.
I like the Longines but they wear bigger than bezel size.
Explorer proportions allows smaller wrists, and more wearable for women.
Additionally, the Spirits is too busy that also doesn’t attract women wearer.
I have both Explorer and Spirit and I’ll take Spirit 11 times out of 10
Why no picture of Amelia Earhart's Watch?
I still much prefer the design of the BB36 and Explorer. Once the steel version of the BB36 gets the updated movement and clasp, I would pick that over this.
yeah I understand. Hope bb36 gets AR coating as well. Needs half links, 4micro adjusts not 3, T clasp, AR coating, In house upgrades ASAP!
@@EscapementWatch I’m assuming that will be announced this year cause they updated some of their watches last year. For me, design and dimensions come first. Movement is further down the list. If it’s accurate enough where I don’t notice it I don’t really care that much especially if I can’t see it. Power reserve is a bit low on those eta/ sellita movements though.
Hello EW, did you buy for yourself this longines spirit 37 ? Please answer. Have a good day.
Hello! No I didn't. The only reason is I am worried about the double AR coding on top. Or I was at the time that's why I didn't pull the trigger
@@EscapementWatchthank you for your reply. I am thinking to buy it.
Go for it! and if you need a discount code email the channel
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏼
no secret measure for this spirit 37mm ? :(
Sorry back then I wasn't doing them for every video. Next time they do a special color all include it
Nice second hand...
Indeed!
need this in 42mm!
I would have melted if they red tipped that second hand.
Honestly most people don’t even keep their watches past a year anymore
Why not a 39
There's already a 40mm
they make a 40 and 42mm versions.
Great watch it’s got some competition from oris at this price point
Yet another watch that goes into the "if only they did a no date version" category for me!!!!
Shame that it has a male end link
lucky it looks awesome on straps! I'd get this on strap version only. But in Canada price is same for strap or bracelet. I think usa gets to save money on strap versions! lucky!
Swatch won't let them compete with Omega. It's quite a shame.
Swatch doesn't determine who competes with who...the consumer does.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 Swatch has very clear markets that they have certain brands cater to. Longines caters to a lower market than Omega.
@@nathanmagnuson2589 What "clear" markets are you talking about. People will buy what they want.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 Longines is positioned below Omega in the market by Swatch. Also, Longines is one of the highest selling watch manufacturers in the world, I think behind 3-4 others. In fact, I would guess that Longines is Swatches second most profitable manufacturer behind Omega.
Why not a screw down crown
Too many details. What’s up with the five stars? It looks nice but… meh.
It is part of their history. It was on their watches back in the day and it was only put on their highest quality/accuracy movement watches. "The Admiral" in the 50's had it. I love it!
@@EscapementWatch Okay I didn’t know that. Thanks for telling me :)
Amazing watch. A screw down crown would have made it perfect.
It is not a big deal. I've had a couple vintage watches with screw down crowns and half the threads are worn out. So it screws down in 1 turn or half a turn. I wonder if it will leak??? ha
The stars are tack though
Not cool it loses the screw down crown . Something Longines rarely does in the first place . Love that about the other spirit sizes .
lug to lug seems long!
To me 37 is too small. I'd have a spirit but when you get to the 42s they ruin the 3 oclock position....
Too bad their "magic trick" didn't include a screw-down crown...
Nice watch, worst colour of the lot. Champagne and silver dials are always the hardest to read. I wouldn't want them on a sports watch.
I would like to see the titanium spirit in the 37mm format. That would be a winner for me.
Alpinist is better
I love Longines BUT these watches are SWSS MADE - honestly - zoom in!
No italian subtitles? ……….
Case size is subjective, I have a bigger wrist so this would look ridiculous on my wrist. Do own Longines and they are beautiful.
The stars ruined it for me,
37mm is way too small for the average man’s wrist.
You should try it, it has longer lug to lug than other watches.. I went and tried them all, 40, 42 and 37.. I bought the 37 without blinking. It's something else, trust me. Another great option is the 40 mm in titanium, no date. It has a special pitch black dial with smokey gold numerals...
Perfect for my 6.25" wrist, plus there is a 40mm and 42mm version as well.
@@Polter6eist the 37mm lug to lug is 43mm. I’m sorry if you like it or your wrist is extremely small I understand. To me thats absolutely too small for most men’s wrists.
That's a load of crap.
36mm? No thanks. I like the watch, but 36mm is too small for me.
Its 37.
too simple for longine, no charisma
Finally someone who pronounces Longines as it should be pronounced.
Yea 40mm would be better why can't someone make a watch to rival rolex in the looks department
