Since it seems to be a Longines bonanza after Max video I do a rerun
My two Longines. A 30L from 1963 and Spirit from 2022. And yes @Max I can do with a diver.

I collect new as well as vintage. I have a weak spot for 50s and 60s Omegas. Besides from those I consider myself allround.

What clearly legible dials and clean, uncluttered design. The problem with the Spirit is those new fangled Hindu numerals. It would look classier the old way.
Hindu I don’t know. Look more modern to me. But I really like the depth of the applied Hindu/Modern/non Roman numerals.

Agree. I just think that it is interesting that Arabic numerals came from India via Arab traders.
One of these days I am going to get one of those HMT redials with the Devanagari numerals.
That vintage is such a nice looking watch. Timeless beauty. Too bad they got wordy with the other one. Longines speaks volumes all by itself
Very nice! Just curious about the 2022 Spirit: is the 5 star thing an attempt to get better Amazon ratings?
Longines has been using stars on their dials for several decades, usually three or five stars. I can’t explain their significance.

I believe the 5star is just a Longines internal quality mark.
The Spirit collection looks so nice, I'd love to pick up the 37mm someday!
