Watch offered for my 49th birthday. Even if I was lucky to choose my gift, because I already liked it on the photos that I tracked on the internet, what a surprise it was when I put it on my wrist!
Diameter of 41mm, Lug width of 21mm, Thickness 12.9 mm, Water-resistant to 30 bar, caliber L844 GMT (Longines Zulu GMT)
I don't take it off, top precision (1 second of drift per day) and I love GMT!!!


LONGINES DIVER'S NEWS

Owner of this watch for a few years, with its Vintage look, it is often mistaken for something else! 
Indeed, this chronograph with black dial takes some codes from the Omega Speedmaster. 

Be careful!!!, I am not saying that it rivals the Omega Mythique watch but that it has the merit of simply existing. 

Between a Diver with a fixed bezel and a Chrono without tachymeter measurement, it touches 2 completely different universes. As if it were playing a double game! 

On the wrist, it goes just as well with a Nato Bond, a rubber strap, leather and even steel. 

It goes with everything! That's what I like about this Tocante.
