I agree that the value quotient of that watch (and most Longines watches) is excellent. Price considerations aside I personally just plain like it! So much so that in spite of having many
more expensive and even far more expensive divers I think I'd like to have one! Similarly a while back I could not resist getting a Seiko PADI and a green Bulova Devil Diver. Also 41mm now seems perfect to me! Still
paying on the last acquisition so maybe I'm lucky the stores are all closed! ;-)
How about a "shockingly" good price/quality ratio watch?
Lately we have seen new watch releases with price tags that left me speechless (especially watches from one major watch group,all brands confused). No relation any longer to the horological content nor to the intended target audience. In reaction I wanted...
You’ve mentioned a few good points
to like and appreciate this watch, Gerard. Regards, George
OK, I'll bite -
I think that Omega continues to offer a high ratio of content to cost in its Co-Axial Master Chronometer watches. While Nomos has been creeping up the pricing ladder of late, I believe there's still value to be found there, providing the design language h...
You do mention the brands that I am also considering for a fair price/quality ratio.
I may also add Sinn and Oris that offer very good watches with a lot of character. One should also not forget the entry-level brands from the Swatch group : Tissot,Certina,Hamilton, you can also find surprising quality for the money.
True enough!
Oris offers great value, especially in its 10 day manufacture caliber models. Longines may be my favorite Swatch Group brand at "entry level," just because of watches like the Hydro Conquest, the Legend Diver, the Big Eye, the Hour Angle, and the Avigatio...

Fair points, this is a good offering by Longines and they had some more lately. For the same reason i like Tissot Powermatic Silicium escapement and 80 hrs PR well under 1K with bracelet.
but a little too shiny for my tatste. pic credit Tissot ...
You may want to have a look at the Tissot Seastar divers.
Incredible value for the money...and good looking. I bought one of those for my grandson and he is loving it.
Longines is a mis-placed watch brand.
I dun know much about the brand but from what I read about the heritage and imo, it should be right up there with omega and GO. Swatch just loosely classified it as a accessible luxury brandwidth brand. But that is not too bad for ppl like me who would no...
Absolutely!
With this brand positioning you get 80% of the Omega quality for roughly 40 % of the price .
