That looks like a lovely watch. Been eyeing up a Longines (not that specfifc model). I think they're good value

I owned the larger black auto very briefly. Was a fantastic watch shouldn't have sold it.

Sold it cheap too never worn weeping
I've got a chrono that i never wear and keep thinking it should go, but it's such a good watch!

A better shot, now I've adjusted the bracelet and taken off the shipping stickers smile



I'm very pleased with it and the service I got from Iconicwatches.

The same watch, in silver? wink

Always annoys me that you get these 'artists impressions' of Hydroconquests when you search (or even on Longines site), they really don't do the watch justice.



Not my photo, sorry if I used yours, but it's a great shot smile

That's seriously nice. Where's the best place to get one from, Dom H?

Me too. Boat just sold for cash. Sitting in a drawer in £20 notes...

I wear my Hydroconquest regularly. It's on a Hirsch leather strap now. I can't think of a better new watch for under £1k.

I have the black faced automatic chronograph, and it really is a fantastic watch and as others have posted the pictures do not do it justice. I also cannot believe how comfortable it is to wear on the bracelet given its size and weight. Once you have tried one on you cannot fail to be impressed, and it has been one of my best purchases, and is in the same league if not better than my Omega seamaster!

Should say also - they're pretty versatile. Here's mine on a black leather strap. Back on the bracelet now but makes a nice change.

Gorgeous...Can someone please post the exact model number for this watch
and if possible the make of this exact same strap..
Many thanks...Paul

Grand total of £12.95!! It's the 22mm strap you need. Nice strap - decent quality.

That is nice. If I don't get on with the NATO I've just ordered, I'll give this a try.

The Hydroconquest is a cracking watch.
Looking to get hander to compliment my chrono:


Thinking I might go for the blue one.
