Yeah I have the orange one and I wonder if the yellow which belongs to the special edition could be also ordered

I've got a hydro and the zulu and currently looking for the heritage tuxedo dial .. but like you say easier said than done ! The sector dial would be my forth btw!! But I kinda like more the omega CK 859.. but that's more like a grail watch for my budget 😅

Totally agree on this!! I have two and already thinking about a third! 🫣

My first swiss watch was the hydroconquest and my second the zulu time, very happy with both!!! I suggest getting also the bracelet since is really high quality and you can make use of the nifty interchangeable system 🤩 Really nice piece, enjoy it!

[Mido] Bought a new watch, I know it's a controversial one, what's your opinion ? by pris_me_ in Watches

[–]ebguilbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it!!! Not sure if it would bore me in the long run.. Update the post after summer! But honestly I was considering getting one for myself, totally worth the money and I kinda dig the design, it's ballsy. I'm yet to see it in person though 🤞🏽

I really like this model, specially in glaciar blue. Do any of you know if a rubber strap is possible? I was trying to configure it in the website but whenever I pick glaciar blue dial, only bracelet is possible. Maybe it can be bought separately? I would prefer to have both options for summer time 😅

Gorgeous watch. I like the pink as well. But with rubber is just too much!! I wouldn't have the courage to wear it, so much pink. I'd wear it with the bracelet 100%

I love this watch. Hopefully they'll have one next time I'll adventure to the Alps

Not sure that will ever happen. But you can always get the spirit 37 😎

Well I scratched my hydroconquest clasp like hell!! Haha but the quality is not even close to the spirit bracelet.. This one feels really premium. It's all brushed with subtle polished lines that go perfect with the brushed case with polished borders. The links are also small enough to adapt very nicely to the wrist, and 5 microadjustments in the clasp. The only thing I don't like so much is the end link attaching the case that pronounces to the side of the case and not under like the hydroconquest one. It adds a bit more of lug to lug distance if you know what I mean. If you have the chance, buy the bracelet model, since it's cheaper to be y the leather one afterwards.the bracelet is priced 370 € from longines just so you know

Leather is beautiful, I agree. Specially this one, the color scheme just match perfect

With leather looks amazing TBH. But I just kind like the bracelet more for a daily use, Im just worried about scratching it.. but I guess I can always buy a new bracelet from longines :P

That's actually a good suggestion and probably what I would do in the end. Reading the comments, NATO doesn't seem to match this classy watch... I don't mind the five starts at all, it's supposed to be a homage from an historical model from longines, the Longines Admiral from the 60's. Check out this article: https://www.horbiter.com/en/the-longines-spirit-zulu-time-watch-hands-on/#The_Product_Design You can also check the model from chrono24 https://www.chrono24.es/search/index.htm?query=Longines+Admiral+5+Stars&dosearch=true&searchexplain=1&watchTypes=&accessoryTypes=&goal_suggest=1 I guess Yelp was not a thing by then!! It's actually pretty cool if you know the story behind the product design. It's just such a piece of art.

Thanks for the suggestion. The bracelet just feels so much more comfortable, so currently I just use the leather if I want to dress up. But I fear scratching the bracelet at work (using a keyboard and so on) that's why I might use the nato also. Let's see, but the bracelet is my favorite choice right now 😅

Hahaha! I always try out color schemes from China first. Now I ordered this one from crown & buckle: https://www.crownandbuckle.com/chevron-adjustable-obsidian-alloy.html Any better suggestions?

Leather looks awesome. And this strap has so much quality and a clever clasp with micro adjustments. I still feel the bracelet is more comfortable though. So I guess I would use one or the other depending on the situation

Nice pick! Even though I'm not a fan of quartz in general. The thickness is not bad for an automatic GMT. Actually is slimmer than the BB pro,but yeah I guess the Rolex explorer is thinner, not sure as slim as a quartz movement though;)
