2017 is the year 185th anniversary of Longines, it is not a surprise at all as you might have seen that the key heritage pieces were very strong at Baselworld. Just as what we expected, the new Lindbergh Hour Angle model – which aroused my great interests after a visit to the Longines headquarters in Saint Imier earlier this year – did drop early, ahead of the 90th Anniversary of the pioneering aviator’s famous New York to Paris crossing.
Although the watch is just the way you like, the style was actually not; it has a surprisingly contemporary feel. Let’s take the black PVD bezel as an example. And the Longines Heritage 1945, well gave us a serious case of de Ja Vu back to 2015, while the superbly talented artist Sunflower man painted an almost identical model for the cheap Longines Watercolor replica watches Project. 
Even though the king’s move was Longines launching their first range to be fully COSC-certified, the Record collection. It’s a completely accessible range as for the price which may answer prayers for those wanting a time and date chronometer without the usual cost, however, besides that, it may serve to raise questions about why rival brands charge such a premium for a certification when Longines has succeeded to have prices from $2250 for ladies versions and $2750 for men’s models.
News from the CEO of replica Omega, Raynald Aeschlimann, the Planet Ocean ‘Big Blue’ Co-Axial Master Chronometer is “one of the most interesting” watches to be released by Omega at Baselworld 2017. He says that it is a “continuation of fake Omega technological innovations, a full ceramic blue Seamaster Planet Ocean, which is coming as a very good surprise, following the Deep Black and following the whole evolution in ceramic that which Omega has been doing for almost three years.”
We should warn you that this is more of a dip than a deep dive as we plan to meet the wider Omega school of 2017, consisting of this blue ceramic diver, later today. It would be very exciting to shoot this blue ceramic model under normal lighting conditions to compare and contrast with the brand video here and previous Swatch Group blue ceramic models, most notably the Blancpain Ocean Commitment Fifty Fathoms models.
