commented on The best Longines? Vintage inspired Longines. Agree? ·

Not a flyback, standard 30min chrono. Same movement as the tuxedo dial in your poll actually, bit COSC certified.

Everyone sleeps on the Record Chronometer Chronograph. As someone who owns the bigeye, the heritage military AND the record chrono, don't overlook this one:
