Longines Heritage Military (2019)

I pre-ordered this beauty, waited for several months, finally picked it up and then...wore it maybe less than a dozen times in total.

If this baby floats your boat, please send me a direct message. I've decided to sell it.

The watch is based on watches Longines made for the Royal Air Force in WWII but with modern specs. Sapphire crystal, thermal blued hands, 38mm case size and ETA movement.

Why oh why the speckled dial? Otherwise so damn pretty.

Can you peg why you didn't get on with it? I know for me I liked the design but, like a lot of Longines' from a few years back, the size was too large and I found the dial had too much negative space. I thought this was crying out to be 36-38mm and they just oversized it.

Normally 38mm is a good size for my wrist but, considering the absence of a bezel, this just feels bigger. Also for the style of watch it is, it should have been 34mm or max 36mm. I'm sure it's perfectly fine on a larger wrist but I really prefer small watches.

I find a lot of longines watches have long lugs/lug to lug distance for their size.

I was ready to buy the Hamilton Khaki Field but changed my mind when I got it on wrist. Its lugs are really long for the case size. 😔
