As the "conscience of the industry" among entry-level watches, Longines replica watches are the best among watches at the same price in terms of brand awareness, appearance design and movement configuration. There is a high degree of attention, especially the 190th anniversary commemorative watch of the famous craftsman series. To commemorate the 190th anniversary of the brand's birth, Longines has launched a new craftsman series commemorative watch, which combines modern aesthetic concepts with retro elements to pay tribute to the brand's profound history and long-term future.

Longines launched a total of three commemorative Replica Swiss Watches this time, which are made of stainless steel, 18K gold and 18K rose gold, with various styles. The global limited edition is 190 pieces each, each with a unique number. There is no limit to the stainless steel model, which is relatively difficult to obtain, so we will focus on this watch today.

The stainless steel case is fully polished for a visually more refined look. It adopts the standard dress watch size of 40 mm, and the thickness is 9.35 mm. After careful design by Longines, it looks thinner and lighter, and it is very comfortable to wear.

The overall design of the dial is relatively simple, using the classic three-pin layout, and the silver sandblasted dial with blue steel leaf-shaped hands, which instantly feels high-end.

It is worth noting that this watch abandons the regular flying wing hourglass logo of Longines, and adopts the cursive handwritten English on Longines pocket watches in the 1930s, and the details are full of retro charm.

The most surprising thing about this watch is that it replaces the printed time scales that Longines has always used with vintage seal engraved Arabic numerals, which has never been seen in best fake watches of the same level, reflecting the outstanding watchmaking of the Longines brand from the side. strength. The vintage seal engraved Arabic numerals have smooth and soft edges, showing a unique reflective effect under different light angles, adding a bit of artistic sense to the watch.

Turning to the back, we can see the 190th anniversary commemorative text engraved on the bottom of the watch, which is quite valuable for collection. Through the sapphire crystal glass strap, you can also intuitively appreciate the Longines exclusive movement L888.5. From the perspective of polishing, the upper plywood of this movement is decorated with Geneva stripes, the lower plywood is decorated with pearl patterns, and the edges are decorated with radial pattern. Not only that, but there is also a hollow flying wing hourglass pattern on its balance wheel, which is very exquisite.

In terms of performance, the L888.5 movement has a built-in antimagnetic silicon hairspring, and uses a non-caliber weight to fine-tune the balance wheel. A full winding can provide a power reserve of up to about 72 hours. Few can match it at the same price. 

The gold model and rose gold model are roughly similar to the stainless steel model in terms of performance and size, but there are differences in material selection and color matching. The 18K gold model has a gray vertical brushed dial with gold leaf-shaped hands, while the 18K rose gold model has a rock gray grained dial with rose gold leaf-shaped hands. Their hour markers are also gold-plated, and players with sufficient budget can pay attention.
