War and Peacetime: The Longines Heritage Military 1938 Men's Watch Replica

After channeling the era of the First World War with its first Heritage Military model, a reissue of a museum piece from 1918, and following it up with last year's WWII-inspired model that re-created a watch worn by British RAF officers in the 1940s, Longines delved into the years between the World Wars for the most recent version of the Longines Heritage Military men's watch replica L2.526.4.53.2, one that reinterprets for a modern audience a classical field watch from 1938.


Details

The new Longines Heritage Military 1938 watch replica is a modern-day reissue of a timepiece made by the Saint-Imier based company in its namesake year, housed in a round, understated stainless steel case measuring 43 mm in diameter. In a style typical of its ancestor’s period, the case has a thin beveled bezel and a ribbed crown described by Longines as "sea urchin-shaped" for easy operation in the field.



The matte black dial, with its baton-style rhodiumed hands, Arabic numerals, and railway track minutes scale, reflects the earlier model’s simple, ultra-legible design, as does the small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock, ringed by its own railway-track scale. The hands and numerals project an aged "vintage" look with their coating of cream-colored Super-LumiNova. Most importantly for purists, this model dispenses with the somewhat anachronistic date window found on the 2013 watch of the same name and inspiration.

The Movement

In keeping with its early 20th-Century origins, the Longines Heritage Military stainless steel watch fake is powered by a manual-winding movement, the Longines Caliber L507.2, which is a customized ETA 6498/2, with 21 jewels, a 21,600 vph frequency, and a 53-hour power reserve when fully wound. The use of this movement is another step closer toward historical authenticity, as the 2013 model contained a self-winding movement - an ETA 2892, to be precise - which is an invention that would not have been available for such a watch in 1938.



Water-resistant to 30 meters, the Longines Heritage Military 1938 replica is offered with both a patinated charcoal gray leather strap and a cognac-colored NATO-style leather strap, along with a tool for easily changing between them. Priced at $2,450, it is limited, appropriately, to 1,938 pieces. Learn more about Longines watch replica, please visit our store, http://www.replicawatchreport.co/longines-watches.

Homage to Mark XI: IWC Bronze Pilot 36mm Special Edition Automatic Men's Watch Replica Review

Image
This past year, the Swiss watch manufacturing company has presented the IWC Bronze Pilot 36mm Special Edition watch replica : an attractive homage to some timekeeper which was introduced over 70 years back and it was worn through the British Royal Air Pressure pilots for years to come. Having a deliciously compact and surprisingly - for any watch operated by a self-winding caliber- slim situation machined from the bronze alloy, it appears stunning new and it has an excellent possibility to age graciously along with its owner. The Dial The dark green dial of the IWC Pilot 36mm Special Edition timekeeper fake looks excellent with the light brown color of the case and will look even better later on when the alloy develops that characteristic greenish patina bronze artifacts are known for. The patina will take a lot of time to form, but, if you are not a faint of heart, you can speed up the process using -at your own peril- certain potassium sulfide-based chemical substances. Like th...

Review TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300M Watch Replica With 43mm Case

Image
TAG Heuer has a long history of quartz dive watches, stretching back to the Heuer/ TAG Heuer 1000 and 2000 series watches from the 1980s. Yes, there were automatic models offered in both of these series, but quartz was the mainstay of these dive watches and part of the reason that they were so successful. TAG Heuer continues to support its popular and economical quartz line by introducing some exclusive color treatments and a 43mm case to its perennially capable Aquaracer line. Let's have a look about  TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300M men's watch replica . The Dial For this iteration, the bezel is now anodized aluminum (instead of ceramic) in either black, or cheerful hues of red or blue. The magnifying cyclops is also omitted from the crystal, and the dial loses its luminous seconds hand and textured "shutters" in favor of a clean sunburst effect. Speak to the colours of dial feels like an extension of the outlandish Khaki and Camouflage Calibre 5 Aquaracers from 2017, b...

Buy a replica of the Cartier Santos Dumont Salmon Dial watch at a low price

Buy a replica of the Cartier Santos Dumont Salmon Dial watch at a low price The Santos Dumont model collection is one of Cartier's most successful new offerings, featuring design details and a choice of different dials and materials. This model collection highlights the visual similarity to the prototype model and pays homage to the limited edition concept offered by the Parisian brand, the  Cartier Santos Dumont XL Limited Edition watch replica CRW2SA0025 . Rectangular Case Although this model is one of the brand's new products this year and a replica designed on the Santos Dumont XL platform, it can be easily distinguished from other versions thanks to the specific details of its model. The model is a rectangular housing with dimensions of 46.6 mm x 33.9 mm x 7.5 mm. I don't think the definition of XL really fits this model, since in modern times, the 33.9 mm width could even be called a compact size. The screw baffle is one of the signature details of the collection. It ...
