This is a wonderful timepiece. I love the cream dial in combination with the gold hands and markers. I don't worry too much about the date (although I would choose a no-date on if there was an option), but my pet peeve with this watch, which actually caused me to sell mine, is the size. On paper 38,5mm doesn't sound all that much, but its lug to lug length is (if I remember correctly) approximately 47mm, which is quite a lot for a watch of this type. I wish they made one in a more traditional size, such as 36mm. Also, the sub seconds hand is to close too the center. If Longines were to make this one thinner and smaller (and maybe with a central seconds hand), I would buy one in an instant, because it is a fantastic watch. I therefore must say I disagree when it comes to your statement about chunkier lugs. I think that would take away from the elegance of such a watch. It should be nice and slender, but that's just my opninion. Thanks for the nice review!

@Motor City Cobra I agree 100%. I've also owned the heritage conquest. Beautiful watch, and the size is perfect. Classical dress watches should be between 34-36. The Flagship is too big.

This watch has the same diameter and lug to lug as the Lange 1 which fits me perfectly but when i tried this on I didn't get the same impression and felt the lugs were too long but they weren't, they were just super slim which gave off the impression of being too long. So I agree with the guys here that I wish it had beefier lugs.

Of all the Swiss makers, Longines have the strongest claim for naming one of their creations, Flagship Heritage, because their wings emblem is the oldest registered Swiss watch company logo, and that's what I call heritage. I bought mine as an everyday wearer, so I would not want to see the date removed.

Beautiful! I just purchased a Legend Diver and a vintage ref. 9999. Definitely a fan of the brand. That said, I;ve watched hundreds of reviews and you pack a lot of practical information VERY efficiently. The wrist shots in variety of lighting situations and strap options save us consumers tons of time searching for images. You guys deserve 250k subscribers if not more, based on this alone. Thank you!

Just got the Milanese for my Flagship, has totally transformed an already classy piece into a super classy piece! Love it!!

I have just purchased one, and I must say what a wonderful classic watch this is, for me, it ticks all the right boxes.

Hi Mark, thats great to hear! Don't forget to check out our website for some great straps www.watchgecko.com/watch-straps

Great video. I love the live action of the small seconds hand. To me that’s the best feature of this timepiece.

I love Longines pieces. Out of my current price range. This one is stunning and beautiful

Great video! Thanks !! I was hoping to find a good video on this model! And here it is!

I am so keen on getting this model. Originally, I was inclined to get one from the La Grande Classique collection, but then I came across this beauty and realized it can't go any classier than that. I love the first strap you showed, the Italian exotic style: it matches perfectly with the watch.

Props to you guys for having the Milanese in 19mm for this watch. I’m definitely ordering one soon.

Just received it, love the way it looks. Class.

Brilliant video.. That mesh strap was a home run for me.

Great review of a lovely watch. Very fair commentary. We bought this exact model as a gift for my father many years ago. When the stunning black dial version came out in 2020, I just had to get one for myself. The only flaw in the design of the original cream dial version is the white date wheel. It really doesn't bother me as it's not a strong contrast. That said, Longines 'corrected' this in the black dial version, which has a black date wheel. It's now a perfect vintage-styled contemporary dress watch as the date is not noticeable until you need it. Size, finishing, quality, reliability etc are all excellent for a watch at any price. The Longines Flagship sits proudly next to my Omega Seamaster 300 Heritage and Longines Ultra-Chron.

Bought it a few months ago from Longines. Got a nice pen as a gift too :) Love it, absolutely a great watch.

Gorgeous looking watch and excellent video as always.

Hi Craig! It truly is. thank you for the on-going support.

All the issues re the date and second hand complication can be remedied by sourcing a decent vintage original Flagship from the early 1960's. I have a mint one and it is sublime the 340 movement is a beaut too. I once had the Longines Conquest Heritage as well but never bonded with it and sold it on.

I really like the flagship model, but I love the conquest heritage model....I think that dial is spot on!

Wonderful timepiece!!!

I love the date window

This watch is perfect i believe it needs no alterations at all 🙅‍♂️

Great review, you mention a dark brown alligator print strap, it is actually real alligator .

Thank you for this nicely done review. You helped Longines sell a watch. What can I say-For me, you're convincing enough in your review. I actually like EVERYTHING on this watch. Even the date window and its deliberately printed thin frame. Im sure there was a debate whether to frame it with gold or not and I like they chose the subtler way. Also I like its placement on the 6th hour mark instead of the traditional 3th hour mark thus giving it a subtle overall symmetry. The second hand is also deliberately done in the style of the Swiss 50s and 60s watches instead of placing a big one in center. The small seconds hand give the watch more retro value. Nothing is over the top, everything is in the line of acceptable and normal. Even though u personally might prefer bigger lugs - I like the size of these ones because it makes the watch more balanced and not on the sporty side. Mine is arriving at August 15th from Switzerland due to the high demand of it. Cheers and thanks for helping me make a choice

Hi Laurence, Thank you for the support, make sure to check out our other videos.

Longines belongs to Swatch group so this watch use ETA based movement not Sellita right?

Will it look good on a 6 inches wrist as a dress watch?

Managed to knock my local MD down from £1,100 to an even £1k. The sub dial should be considered as an off/on indicator, instead of a seconds sub dial. Interesting comment about a watch being considered as rude at formal functions, how did they used to know when their carriages were waiting to take them home?

Does it have anti reflective coating ?

is the crown of the L615 screw down? is the movement hackable ? Thanks for the infos !

I like champagne dial. Longines has too many white dials. I like silver stainless steel strap, silver bezel and for a little contrast with champagne dial. Nice vintage colour is champagne. Need 36mm case though

Makes me incensed they did a white date window instead of a dial matching one.

elegant...

36 mm and this watch would be perfect , still 38.5 isn’t too bad.

I love the look of this watch. I have a 6-1/2” wrist - will this watch be too big for me?

Exquisite

Best watch

Magnifique.

My grail watch

good

What would I change - The date - remove it, The indices - make them bigger, The lugs - Make them bigger, The dial - make it more of a sunburst effect, The strap - put something different on and change the look of the watch. Right done all that now what have I got, oh a totally different watch. I don't get it, either the watch is good enough to fit into the 10 for 10 on merit or it isn't, what's it to be?

This watch is refined and delicate and you think you can improve it by making it bold and chunky. NO. That's as rediculous as saying I can improve a Panerai by making it like a Calatrava. LOL

beautiful watch the way it is now the date has to stay, no excuse for watches. not to have a date and luminous hands to tell time in the dark. water resistant should be enough to take it on a swimming trip. why would I want to take my expensive watch just to go swimming. p.o.v.

The flagship heritage 60th is a winner. This version is unfortunately ruined by that awful date window, made even worse by the small seconds sweeping over it. Really, really bad.

I love this watch! It absolutely destroys Grand Seiko.
