Longines Spirit - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

I got this watch for my 18th birthday, at a time when I was seriously hesitating between a Tudor. After almost two years on the wrist, I can say without hesitation that I absolutely don't regret my choice. I got it in 40 mm, a size I find perfect for my 16 cm wrist: it has a real presence without ever seeming too bulky. The 49.7 mm lug-to-lug could have made me hesitate at first, but when worn, it fits perfectly. What convinced me was above all the technical specifications: grade 5 titanium case (much more scratc…

My Longines Spirit titanium 40mm is a special watch for me. It is my engagement watch. The Longines is full of details, between the railroad including diamonds on which the second hand sits perfectly. But also, magnificent gold applied indices. As for the case, Longines alternates polymirror and brushed with the presence of well-marked chamfers. Note the presence of a large crown accentuating the aviation side of the watch. The level of finish is impeccable and rivals its competitors at this price point... Yes, I'…

The spirit range with date window at 3 o'clock didn't appeal to me, but this 37mm version, window at 6 o'clock, with its contained dimensions caught my attention as soon as it came out. I chose this champagne sunray dial (supposedly for women) whose appearance varies from light gold to silver depending on the light. The finishes are of excellent quality, a mixture of brushed steel and polished chamfer, the engraved crown controls a COSC-certified ETA A31.L11 movement. Mounted on a very comfortable bracelet and equi…

In the world of watchmaking, few watches manage to strike the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, quite like the Longines Spirit Ø 40.00 mm. As a seasoned enthusiast, concerned with both technical precision and aesthetic elegance, I approached this watch with a discerning eye and a heart eager for the poetry of time. Imagine, in a world where waiting lists rule and every watch seems to have its own fan base, finding the rare gem without worrying too much is a quest worthy of the greatest explorers. A…

For a price that is still relatively accessible, this watch can be a nice alternative to a 36mm OP. The quality level is really excellent for the price. This watch can be worn with any outfit, from a 3-piece suit to the most casual pieces. The only small regret, the 19mm strap width

This is a particularly elegant pilot's watch. I like the story it tells. It reminds us that at the beginning of the 20th century, aviation pioneers wore Longines. This is only part of Longines' rich, almost bicentennial history. Technically, it has good specifications considering its price. It offers beautiful finishes alternating between brushed and polished. The assembly is impeccable. The crown is imposing, confirming the pilot's watch side. The sunray blue dial is detailed. The indexes are applied and luminesc…

Having bought my first automatic watch in September 2022 (a Seiko diver), I admit that I got a little tired of it because I found it too large, too heavy, even uncomfortable. So I committed the madness of buying, last January, barely five months after buying my first automatic watch, this superb Longines Spirit 37mm. With a reasonable diameter, pleasant to wear (its metal bracelet is remarkably flexible), relatively thin (11.7mm thick), this watch is a most satisfying entry into the world of Swiss watchmaking. COSC…

Happy owner of this magnificent Longines Spirit 37mm. I share with you here my opinion on this watch which is very underrated for me! Having just graduated from the eco-management degree and accepted into a master's degree in a major business school. I was looking for a gift symbolizing these successes! Passionate about watchmaking, my choice went straight to a watch! While I tried on quite a few models, going through Tudor, Hamilton, Frédérique Constant and many others. But no favorite on the horizon... that's wh…

Owner of a number of watches this is my first Titanium with a beautiful anthracite dial readability The gold applied indexes are not flashy as one might have feared. Longines' move upmarket is undeniable, Coscee plus Titanium watch What can be said about the power reserve tested and found a real camel 72 hours measured A real flexibility of the crown The only flaws: too much information in the dial and the 21 mm lug spacing

Sobriety, the warmth of titanium, its gold indexes, its anthracite dial and a COSC quality movement, here is Longines returning to the forefront. It seems since the appearance of this Spirit range that this illustrious manufacture, which has become one of the brands of the SWATCH group, wants to once again be part of the elite of watchmaking and compete with TUDOR. This model, before its open dial, gives the impression of being larger than its 40mm and the weight (less than 100gr) is disconcerting, for those who li…
