subject: Brand Replica Watch - Longines the Paul-Emile Victor Watch [print this page] Replica watches are considered as the top enemy of Swiss watch manufacturers(especially those big watch brands).However, watch brands sometimes replicate watches as well. But these brand replica watches in fact pay tribute to certain vintage models that have great meaning or very classic design. Longines, for example, is now offering a replica watch that is based on the watch worn by two of the members of the Expditions Polaires Franaises on their mission to the Arctic in Greenland.
The story goes back to 1947 when these scientists needed a good watch to complete the tough excursion. And Longines kindly created a speciall watch to support them. The main features of the watch included a movment of special anti-shock system, a luminus-coated dial and central hands. As the leader of the French team was Paul-Emile Victor, the watch included his name in its title.
The new model is quite well "replicated". But it comes with some new features to attract modernmen as well. An ETA 2892-2 automatic movement replaces the orginal movement, and the dial is now covered by a sapphire crystal that has been anti-reflective coating. Besides, the luminant on the hands and hour markers has been upgraded to SuperLumiNova. The case, crafted from stainless steel, remains at 38.5mm at diameter a moderate size.
Overall, the longines watch is simplistic and highly legible. It looks not boring but not beautiful enough. Luckily, it has a nostalgic touch that makes up this regret.In my humble opinion it is not a watch for everyone but it will certainly touch the heart of those who love watches with a vintage touch and some stories.According to Longines watches, it will hit the market soon.
