It is a policy that makes sense, because every model that <strong>Longines<\/strong> has re-interpreted so far can boast its very own ancestor in the museum and the whole concept is based on solid ground, namely watches, calibers and paper archives. This is, however, not the only reason, as the <strong>Longines<\/strong> three-hands-watches have nothing or little to do with the calculations made by <strong>Lindbergh<\/strong>\u00a0(here is our review of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/en\/longines-lindbergh-hour-angle-90th-anniversary-titanium-watch-hands-on\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff\"><strong>Longines Lindbergh Hour Angle 90 Anniversary<\/strong><\/span><\/a>) and <strong>Weems<\/strong> and they represent instead a different chapter. They were extremely popular in the 50s and 60s, so much to still represent today, together with a few others brands (one is them is <strong>Zenith<\/strong>), the very base of the accessible vintage market.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:justify\" id=\"the-longines-record-2017\">The Longines Record 2017<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>Longines<\/strong> is linked to <strong>Lindbergh<\/strong> as much as the most classical architecture that could ever exist \u2013 the one that is usually linked to Middle Managers in the steel version. A <strong>Longines Record<\/strong> is exactly this category of watch with the exclusion of the gold version that still exists, but is not part of this collection within the <strong>Longines<\/strong> series (it is part of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/en\/longines-master-collection-blue-gray-dial-watches-hands-on\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff\">Longines Master Collection<\/span><\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Longines-record-2017-8\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/Longines-record-2017-8.a1900acd3b7f.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"Longines-record-2017-8\">There are two dial versions \u2013 one version with Roman numerals that is purposely classic and that can be bought exclusively with a steel bracelet and two smaller sizes for women \u2013 we will tackle this topic on our female channel \u2013 and one version that mixes together Arabic numerals and arrow-shaped indices that have been applied exactly like <strong>Longines<\/strong> used to do in the 50s with their <strong>Longines<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>6333<\/strong>\u2013<strong>3<\/strong> reference. There is therefore no need to be part of the <strong>Heritage<\/strong> collection to be able to boast a pedigree, because the father of the version with 6 Arabic numbers on the dial is clearly the watch that you can you see in this photo and that was borrowed from the American site called <span style=\"color:#000000\"><strong>Hashtag Watch Company<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 a site specializing in the sale of vintage watch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"longines-6333\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/longines-6333.b4c008b9053c.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"longines-6333\">I came across this shop by chance, while I was looking for the historical roots of the <strong>Longines Record<\/strong>, as I often do when I am writing about brands like <strong>Longines<\/strong>, because I was sure I could find an ancestor in this collection. The reference to those years can also be found in the shape of the winding crown that is very <strong>Longines<\/strong>\u2013<strong>style<\/strong> \u2013 it features a spherical head and an embossed historical logo. There are two versions of this timepiece \u2013 a more reassuring version with Roman numerals and a 7-row-bracelet, which makes a lot of sense when you use this watch every day and you need to take it off and back on quickly, and another version with a leather strap with a pin buckle (not to be worn during the summer time).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Longines-record-2017-4\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/Longines-record-2017-4.ad8837a204f1.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"Longines-record-2017-4\">The Roman numerals are thin and elongated, the dial is flat and is almost at the same level as the sapphire crystal \u2013 this gives you that strange feeling that you are almost wearing an ultra-flat timepiece. Moreover, the bracelet integrated with the narrow lugs and the case-middle hidden by the bezel gives you exactly that feeling that is definitely a successful concept in a dress watch like this. To summarize \u2013 the two versions, which reach <strong>38.5mm<\/strong> and <strong>40mm<\/strong> in size for the man\u2019s models are the synthesis of the vision of the <strong>Record<\/strong> \u2013 one version that looks at the past and the <strong>6333<\/strong>\u2013<strong>3<\/strong> reference and another version that looks forward and uses Roman numerals as an element of classicism. These are two different ways to lure different customers, while focussing on the same basic concept.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:justify\" id=\"the-cosc-certification\">The COSC certification<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The certification is not a main element in itself, since, from my point of view, the focus is not solely on accuracy, but it is rather a brand message. <strong>Longines<\/strong> helped to build a good chunk of the history of sports timekeeping (do you still remember the <strong>Longines<\/strong> logo on the <strong>Ferrari F1<\/strong> that Alboreto used to drive?) and wide spreading this vision across all their products is now a must.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Longines-record-2017-7\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/Longines-record-2017-7.71eb617bbfd2.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"Longines-record-2017-7\">It is also the same reason why the manufacturer introduced the <strong>VHP technology<\/strong> that we will talk about in one of our next articles, and which, in my opinion, is still something that the general audience needs to fully understand. The silicon balance spring is one of the elements that helped this timepiece to achieve the <strong>COSC<\/strong> requirements, but, as I said before, it is a common path that <strong>Longines<\/strong> embarked on to reaffirm their record. Regarding the <strong>40<\/strong>\u2013<strong>hour<\/strong>\u2013<strong>power<\/strong> reserve, I think that the brand could definitely do better and that\u2019s exactly where I am expecting to see some sort of a growth in the future, because the calibres used by other brands, within the same group,\u00a0that are less \u2018noble\u2019 than <strong>Longines<\/strong> almost double this value and this is one of the most important elements for those <strong>Longines<\/strong> <strong>Record<\/strong>\u2019s users.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:justify\" id=\"thoughts-on-the-2017-longines-record\">Thoughts on the 2017 Longines Record<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The two versions of the <strong>Longines Record<\/strong> that you see on here have both a retail price of <strong>2040<\/strong> <strong>Euro<\/strong>, which is therefore a flat price, whether you choose the <strong>40mm<\/strong> or the <strong>38.5mm<\/strong> wide-case version. It means that the price is not a selection criteria anymore, as it should always be (bracelet or leather strap, there is no difference). I would rather suggest <strong>Longines<\/strong> to help those who land on their official website in easily identifying their <strong>Longines Record<\/strong>\u00a0among the many ones, since all the versions are sorted by reference and not by diameter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Longines-record-2017-1\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/Longines-record-2017-1.69f123b5c077.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"Longines-record-2017-1\">From a product point of view, the <strong>Longines<\/strong> <strong>Record<\/strong> represents one of those rare cases where\u00a0it is still possible to add a good price-to-quality ratio three-hands automatic wristwatch to your collection. It is, all in all, a jab to all those brands that began to design their movements in-house just to justify a huge price list increase, a move that resulted with inflating the market in most cases, a luxury that the\u00a0Swiss watchmaking industry can no longer afford.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">\n<\/p><div style=\"min-height: 10px;
