Khronos 1,156 Posted March 11, 2019 Just spotted it on a non RWG TD's website. It's the brand new version of Longines Hydroconquest that was released in Basel last year. ADs in my country haven't even received a single piece yet, but I saw them in Germany. Blue dial: https://www.intime04.co/longines/6027-conquest-l38404566-real-ceramic-bezel-ss-zf-1-1-best-edition-blue-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a2824.html Black dial: https://www.intime04.co/longines/6026-conquest-l38404566-real-ceramic-bezel-ss-zf-1-1-best-edition-black-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a2824.html I like it a lot, especially the blue one, it looks much classier than the old version, but I'm not so sure about ZF quality. Anyway, it's here. How do we like it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenjaminButton 147 Posted March 11, 2019 On the subject of the genuine watch I think I prefer the old version. I like all the extra markers on the dial although I do like the ceramic bezel insert on this one. This simpler dial doesn’t work as well for me. For me, on this occasion, more was more.

Khronos 1,156 Posted March 11, 2019 I personally prefer the new one, it reminds me of the previous generation of Omega SMPc. But there's a significant price hike, the old one was 1099€, this one is 1599€, at least where I live. I'm just not sure about these 6 9 12 big numerals..

Khronos 1,156 Posted March 12, 2019 It's certainly more legible, but the ceramic bezel takes the new one to another level. It does look a bit "empty" though, you're right.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miklle 0 Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Thank Khronos ... I almost buy a replica today, with full genuine price ... you straighten out my doubts ... I go to a genuine Longines retailer in my area today ... I wants to buy a Hydroconquest ceramic blue 41mm ... they said they are out of stock ... And everywhere are also out of stock, if I wants it I had to wait in queue list and they will order it for me, ofcourse and some prepaid deposites ... I said I not sure with the size, and I ask them for some size sample of other color hydroconquest from their display cabinet ... They keep persuading me to buy the old model, I said I don't like it ... I said if they had the ceramic blue one for me to compare , maybe I'll consider the old model ... They said yes, and tock out one from the under desk cabinet, they said this one is order from the former waiting list client, I said why didn't you take it out in the first place, I am just only wants to look how it is like .... They said I can not try it on my wrist, it's already been bought, fair enough ... I look it around, and I discover 2 wierd things #1 the strap lug are razor sharp #2 It's a brand new watch , but no Logines watch case no warranty card .. they take it out from a zipper plastic bag ( Which bumb ass in the world would wants to buy brand new Longines... that the case is just only a zipper plastic bag ) I research ... and found this web site ... now am convinced ... there is really a hydroconquest ceramic replica ... #PS: forget to decribe the color : the bezel color is cerulean blue and the inner color is flat navy blue not much of reflection color change cabpabilities Edited June 30, 2019 by miklle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenTLe 1,310 Posted June 30, 2019 Yes, I got your message. That's why I'm telling you to get the rep (but from one of our Trusted Dealer so that you are sure not to be burnt by some scammer). It even has the same movement of the gen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indisguise 0 Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) It’s a very underrated rep in my opinion. Very well done. One thing to notice is the blue bezel insert is not as dynamic as the gen. It doesn’t change much with light. But that’s not noticeable or just go with black color https://clickpix.org/image/BDD8FFBF-E19E-4BA0-87CB-C4161BC9E38E.zPwb6Y Edited October 16, 2022 by Indisguise Link doesnt work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
