I think it looks much better than the previous version, as the hand set seems much more appropriate for a dive watch. Still nearly 15mm thick, but I could deal with that. What do you think?

I've been looking at a lot of vintage Longines lately, and they have some fantastic models. If I had to pick a type of model that Longines should re-introduce, it would be the VHP. But, in the Ultra-Quartz case:

Moreover, I'd go with their earlier movement from the 90s that was accurate to +/- 10 spy, perpetual calendar, and 10 years of battery life. What would you choose to revive?

Recently, I saw a thread on Reddit in which someone noted that next year is technically the 100th anniversary of the original Zulu Time, and wondered if they'll release a heritage version next year. What do you all here think Longines should or will release next year?

I've seen some recent Longines chronographs with an ana-digi display, which I think are really cool. However, I can't seem to really find its accuracy specs. One listing stated it was the caliber L540.2, which is based on the ETA 251.252. Does anyone know if it was a HAQ, in addition to its full feature set?
