Hey everyone,

Anyone have one, or handle one of these? I haven't seen too many in the wild, and was wondering everyone's take on it. Not a bad price for the stainless version if you're able to source one.. besides the fact it's very limited. I'm torn between this one and the new Heritage Military that released this year at Basel2018. Of course, the new one still isn't available yet 馃檮. Let me know what you guys think!

Here is a hands on review from ABTW:

Cheers!

I have one and I like it. I have a 6.5 wrist so adding a wrist shot.

What size are they?

I like the watch, but don't like the position of the sub seconds or the automatic on the dial which Longines love doing for some reason. Still at least they didn't add a date window.

I really like most of the Longines heritage range.

Looks great. How are you liking it so far? I鈥檓 debating between this (if I can find one), and the new unreleased heritage military. Any input would be appreciated!

I believe it鈥檚 a 38.5mm, which is the perfect size for a dress watch in my opinion.

And I'm very pleased!

An appropriate modern size at 38.5mm, it has a beautiful vintage rendition of the 'flagship' on the back.

My only 'beef'' (and a very minor one) is the missing lume markers for the dial.

Longines did well with this important model in their history..

How hard is it to find one of these for sale in the US?

Apparently mine had been sitting in a display at Saks Fifth Avenue for at least a number of months/year, a lucky surprise. I did see one a few weeks later at an international airport. For years I had an alert set on WatchRecon, and I never saw one come up, so they鈥檙e tough to come by here in the US.
