I will definitely need to check out the Chateau next time I am in Montreal.

    Thank you Jane. Based on this experience I would highly recommend the Chateau. Also, it is only a three minute walk from the Swatch boutique.

    Congratulations, Henry!

    Thanks guys. Much of the modern Longines line leaves me cold but the Heritage line is quite wonderful. I tried on a bunch of the Heritage line and the fit, finish and attention to detail is consistent across the line from the tiny and fantastic Conquest all the way up to the absurdly big A-7.

    It is indeed a very nice piece as I have seen it and tried it on. Congrats on owning this beauty.

    42mm is also my magic number, plus the cushion case and black dial... your excellent review and pictorial make me want one so bad.. you just show justice to its beauty.. no wonder it is your current king of wrist time..

    thank you very much Henry! thank you for your 'torture'!..

    Thank you Sherry and Iyonk. It is always my pleasure.

    For me personally I'm in the no date camp for this one. I can accept it in the Heritage chronos with a bicompax layout and date at 6 but the intersection with the seconds dial bothers me. But so long as you're ok with it thats what matter right? Enjoy it in the best of health.
    Thank you. I understand your feelings about the date. I was a little surprised at myself.

    Great review and lovely pics. It does seem a shame that the bezel is fixed. I think subtly done rotating bezels are an underrated and under used feature

    What would a rotating bezel add? It's not graduated...

    Was thinking same as Geoff. How did the original design look?

    The triangle at 12 I guess is connected to the rotating bezel.

    Longines L2.794.4.53.2 Heritage 1935 Review.

    It's a great watch, Henry!
    Lots of history, and a well-executed modern version
    I looked at getting myself an issue Longines Czech Air Force watch at one time, I do like its capable elegance

    Re the bezel - yes, the triangle marker sits on a rotating bezel ring in the original m has pictured.
    Like the red mark on coin-edged rotating bezels, it gives pilots the ability to time down to an event (eg low fuel) or up (from a navigation turning point), by reading the time difference between the minute hand and the marker
