A Discussion around the Longines HydroConquest GMT. After almost 20 years the HydroConquest has evolved many times and finally sees an upgrade to include a GMT component. It does away with many details that defined the previous generations and misses one opportunity to make an extremely timeless design. Is this a better choice over the Spirit Zulu Time? Was this the correct direction to take this design? Will a watch like this out-compete Tudor?
