longines watches have been the official timekeeper and partner of the french open since 2007. the french open is no arguably one of the top two or three professional tennis tournaments in the world and brings the game’s top players to the heart of paris for a yearly event which dates as far back as 1891. with such long history, how does longines sports watch? 
take a quick look at our best replica watch and it’s easy to see why longines has been able to foster a long-standing relationship with the world of professional tennis. with an vintage world elegance the designs are an excellent fit for the tone of the sport, longines takes their ambassador roles very seriously with the job given to the likes of 2010 fr – as a spectator. many watch fans may not know the sports well, but this cannot stop the favor towards the watch itself.
the retrograde moonphase wears nicely on-wrist, not too tall nor too flashy. the dial is full of fine details and for a dive-watch-junkie like myself, the multitude of hands took a few glances to get accustomed to. once acclimated, the retrograde moonphase is capable of showing you a lot of information at once without seeming too busy or too complicated. were it not for the 44mm sizing, i would have no problem categorizing this watch as traditional and classic. if you like the idea of a dressy multi-complication but want something in excess of 42mm, this longines would fit the bill nicely. i especially like the patterning on the dial, the use of roman numerals and the triptych of retrograde displays. there is enough visual interest in this longines that you will be smiling long before you even realize you haven’t bothered to actually read the time.
with 180 years experience get involved in the business, it’s safe to say that longines takes watchmaking rather seriously. they are actually still based at their original location in saint-imier in western switzerland and have announced a line commemorating their history and connection with their roots. the new line, dubbed the saint-imier collection, offers a range of men’s and women’s watches that all share a similar hand set but span both three-handers and chronographs in a variety of dials and case sizes. while we will have more on the saint-imier line in the coming weeks, dates back to longines history in 1832 when a small company called agassiz & compagnie setup a watch making business being run mostly out of employee’s homes. this company progressed and eventually setup a factory in the saint-imier valley in an area called les longines. by 1867, they had produced their first movement from within the factory walls and longines has been pushing forward ever since. according to the world intellectual property organization, longines holds the longest standing trademark still in use today.
back to the watch itself, copy a sport watch is always a challange for replica watch industry, but i think the longines we introduced here shall satisfy you surely.
aaa longines conquest Gmt replica watch
not as famous as longines master collections, the longines conquest Gmt looks like one of many Gmts bearing the eta 2836 movement at first glance, but then we shall notice that date window. this makes the whole watch felt totally different.
the watch has a 34mm size dial, which is pretty small for men size watch, and it’s more suitble for lady actually. once you start looking, you’ll notice that most large watches have a date window more towards the center, because the movement is too small. this one, on the other hand, is perfectly sized. functionally, it’s just a eta2836 sized up a bit, so you get the usual three hands plus a 24-hour hand that is set in one hour increments. it’s not as good for traveling, where you really want the main hour hand to jump, but it is good for tracking another time zone.
the case is stainless steel, with a sapphire crystal sporting an interior anti-reflective coating. super-luminova on the hands and dial, water resistant to 50 meters without crown. it’s also available with silver or blue dials. the bracelet has 3.8mm thick solid links, sized with split pins, center brushed. the signed deployant clasp lacks micro-adjustments, but the watch does include a half-link for sizing.
the best feature of this watch, in my opinion, is the sunray finish on the dial. in normal lighting it appears matte black, but in sunlight it becomes a shifting play of grey to black. the hands are well sized for the dial and quite legible. in some light, as seen above, polished hands vanish and in their absence the lume strips are still legible. not bad.
that’s quite good, though the gaps at 3/6/12 bug me a bit. no problem reading the time at night, and no problem discerning the hour and 24-hour hands.
on the wrist, it’s a versatile watch. Definitely dressy, it’s one i’d recommend for business too. not too fancy, nor too plain, nor too expensive, this is a watch that says you appreciate timepieces but aren’t looking for bling. on the minus side, 14.4mm is thicker than i like for dress wear, and makes it a bit top-heavy.
i like the elegant clasp. as noted, more dressy than sporty.
in summary, i think it’s a good watch here, with a step up from a basic 3-hand watch, the Gmt function and finishing make this a perfect daily wearer.
