4 Months With The New Longines Spirit Pilot: STILL One Of The Most Complete Watches Out There
When it comes to everyday GADA (go anywhere, do anything) watches, we have a whole bunch of options such as the Rolex Oyster Perpetual, Omega Aqua Terra, many Grand Seikos, and Tudors as well. Longines is ranked high after releasing fantastic watches for years such as the Hydroconquest GMT and the Spirit Zulu Time. That said, there was always some problem or another whether that's a missing microadjust clasp or odd lug widths. This all changed with the all new Longines Spirit Pilot. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that this 39mm Spirit Pilot included a microadjust clasp, had a standard 20mm lug width, and it dropped the controversial 5 stars on the dial. Right from the start it took a lot of wrist time from the likes of my Omega Seamaster 300M (SMP), The Citizen AQ4901, Tudor Black Bay 54, Seiko SPB453 62 MAS, and Seiko SPB383 MM200 GMT. From the start it seemed like a perfect watch, but what’s it like after 4 months of ownership? So in this video I’m going to go over 4 things I love and still love about this watch because 4 months later, it’s still a treat looking at this thing. But nothing is perfect so I’ll also go over some of the things that I was only able to find out after months of wear. One of which is somehow related to hair loss.
