So I was looking at the 'Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Orbital II Chronograph' and it got me wondering - which watch has the longest official name ?

Montblanc Villeret Tourbillon Cylindrique Geosphères Vasco da Gama
The length of the name somewhat belies its surprisingly (to me anyway) small size, "Dimensions: 16¾ lines (38.40 mm); height=10.50 mm" - http://montblanc.watchprosite.com/sh...vasco-da-gama/Originally Posted by captain_hx

Cracks best not bother!

Well with that in mind, you forgot ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX.
I think you are quoting the size of the movement. The case dimensions are diameter=47 mm, height=15.38 mm.
You are of course absolutely correct. The clue, had I bothered to think about it, was in the "16¾ lines". Thanks, that makes a lot more sense, though it still sounds a very wearable size for what it is.
Longines Expéditions Polaires Françaises – Missions Paul-Emile Victor (L2.732.4.76.2).
Totally off topic but Sinn wins the shortest with the U1.
And U1 is shorter than U2 (ASCI-wise)!

On that basis, its name is infinitely long therefore - but then they're not names, of course, which is what the thread was about, so I will submit:
"Ulysse Nardin Hannibal Minute Repeater Westminster Carillon Tourbillon Jaquemarts" (it's real)
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
After that JLC, the Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb Hurricane Grand Voyage II seems positively brief. Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph Vasco da Gama Limited Edition is hardly even worth mentioning.
Might I suggest (slightly tongue in cheek) that the Fortis Mars 500 is the longest, at 225,300,000 km (or double if it's a return journey).

Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150 Metres Co-Axial Annual Calendar 43 millimeter 231.10.43.22.01.002 is a mouth full
That's not really the name though, is it? Otherwise we could name all specifications as part of the name too.
Probably one of Omega's increasingly ridiculous reference numbers. Maybe the Speedmaster 3550.00.67.3215.00.02.55.1757....3
