There is also the Re Edition of the Diving watch... Which may look as the most interesting Longines this year with the Instituto... Best. Nicolas

I think Longines is doing some unusally nice work this year.

SJX, it is great that the watch has caught your attention. If I am not wrong, check out the Longines Spirit too, which i think is in a larger size and was introduced sometime in 2005. I think the spirit is also a nice-looking Longines watch inspired by it... 

What a great watch, indeed! Best. Nicolas

Lindberg is of course the famous Hour Angle watch designed by Charles Lindberg: This is the Longines Spirit, another retro-inspired modern wristwatch. Longines did a great job with this one too. - SJX This message has been edited by SJX on 2008-04-19 19:2...  

Nicholas, the Legend Diver was launched last year, not this year. Cheers! Lionel
