Can't hold my excitement to share this new acquisition as soon as I got it.
Since earlier this year I acquired a pre owned Longines Heritage Diver, I felled in love with the Longines Heritage series.
This Heritage 1935 launched last year in tribute to the classic pilot watch that Longines manufactured for the Czechoslovakian Air Force in the 1930s and 40s. For the history you can read about it here http://www.thewatchadviser.com/newsandarticles/2014/10/3/aqqjxv3f9xmjgttzw2vuh65lw3k4k1 (http://www.thewatchadviser.com/newsandarticles/2014/10/3/aqqjxv3f9xmjgttzw2vuh65lw3k4k1) and detail review of this new watch can find it here

I would say with an attractive entry price and come with an ETA 2895 movement inside plus good quality finishing its a steal.

For those who not in favour of Longines, Eterna which is another original supplier of watches to the Czech Air Force during the same time also offered a reissue limited edition of this watch aka Eterna's "Majetek's" Pilot Watch

congrats! its good to see Longines slowly re issue all its historical pieces under the heritage series
:thumbsup: for maintaining its price range !
cezh pilot its one of the most beautiful designed pilot.
watches always made for mass market, maybe thats why this reissue come with date
lucky its small window at the 6
and only disappointment its the triangle min measure control by crown is missing
i like this photo, the bear bear botol's shadow is like the original bezel triangle
-
Yeah if they reissue it with the rotating bezel and add a red triangle it would be more then perfect but I realized those made by Lemania and Eterna were without the rotating bezel too

most probably due to mass market might not know how to appreciate it and the function is not useful nowadays!
but cost of doing it its high!

Chris, agree with you just like the Heritage Diver, which many didn't realized the inner bezel can be rotate and very unique

Oh poisons indeed! I like this classic czech air force watch. Nearly pulled the trigger on a vintage one but it didnt come with the triangle... hence passed at that time. Maybe I will get the reissue... a preowned perhaps, if one surfaces in future.
Enjoy the Longines Heritage... excellent range... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
