Reply With QuoteJaeger LeCoultre Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea
With the rise on vintage Styling I thought I'd gather a fun list of what I think are the best executed Vintage re-issue pieces. I'm being shallow and going for looks over Engine.
I've realised I've got loads of Longine in here.
Would be interested to see alternative lists.
Tudor Blackbay
Omega 300 on NATO
Longine Heritage Diver 67
Omega Speedmaster MK2
Zenith El Primero (model ref../69.c494)
Tudor Monte Carlo
Longine Heritage 73 (Black Dial)
Longine Legend Diver
Oris Diver 65
Hamilton Pan Europ
Stowa Fleiger Classik
Squale 2002 (black bezel)
Longine Conquest Heritage
Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea
Seiko turtle
Panerai
PRS-82 is on the list for me.
Heuer Autavia
Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military
Casio F-91W.
;-)
Tag Monaco got to be on the list, they've been doing the retro re-issue thing for years; way before many/any of these others started doing it.
Edited to also add in the the Silverstone.
I'd say this Longines Conquest. It really feels like you're handling a NOS piece from the 50's.
However, most people nowadays want a piece with a vintage design but with modern materials, size and build quality, so I'd go for either of these 3 which are a perfect blend of old and new in my book.
The new ceramic Rolex Daytona (116500LN) - closest look to the vintage 6263/6265 styling?
I'll second that!!Originally Posted by Xantiagib

Also the Reverso TT1931.
I would also add:
Omega speedmaster: first omega in space
Sinn: 103 Klassik

SBGR095 - saw one at SalonQP and it's exquisite in person. Somehow it avoids that 'faux retro' feel that cheapens some re-issues. I'd love to have one... But only 600 made and won't be cheap, if you can find one at all.

Of course the ultimate is the AP15202 extra thin. Not so much a re-issue as simply the same watch, unchanged since the 70s, which is better somehow.
That Sinn strap looks like it's got some sweet love from Rocco SiffrediI would also add:

Zodiac are doing some nice reissues of the Sea Wolf this year. I think they have a bronze one in the line up if you like that sort of thing.
El Primero is more engine over looks, but given it has both it is a real favourite of mine!
Oris 65 + 1
Also R Kemmner's tribute to the Heuer bi-compax.
Reissue?
Not the same as copy.
Not a reissue really but the Oris Chronoris has a cracking retro feel.
Thanks!
I have been buying them from yesterdayman on eBay!
Really accommodating regarding special orders...
I guess I have my tiny wrist to blame for that!

I'm a big fan of the Longines COSD
Don't forget about the Vulcain Nautical:
It's true to the original 1961 version, including the unique Cricket alarm movement, so no compromises on what's under the dial either. I can't think of anything else on the market that's remained essentially unchanged over such a long period; the plexi Speedmaster is probably the closest current-production example, but it lacks the column wheel layout of its original movement.
Classic Rotary and cheap too..
I don't think it was a compliment!
Just noticed... Stopped reading at Rocco...
Now I know who Rocco Sifredi is.
Thanks for all the vivid images!

The PRS-25, whilst not technically a re-issue, somehow really meets the criteria for this. Though I can't really say why. It's a bit big for me, but Ibthink it's one of the nicest watches out there...
Bulova moonwatch- though never seen one in real life
I've had a few from Yesterdayman. Nice rustic style & old-fashioned roller buckles

There are some great watches in this thread.
It's hard to beat Grand Seiko's historical collection IMHO.
The SBGR095 is probably my favourite but I've got a soft spot for the self-dater too:
The Longines fits in well with the odd vintage piece, not sure about the Turtle reissue.
The turtle and the wittnauer are such nice reinterpretations!The Longines fits in well with the odd vintage piece, not sure about the Turtle reissue.

Longines LD
Oris 65
Rotary
Ta :-) it's a Longines 67, based on this but 3 register with an auto movement..
I wish they made a beads of rice for it...
(Stolen pics)
Not sure you can have a discussion on vintage style new watches without including a Navitimer....

I regretted selling mine even though I wasn't wearing it enough. Lovely classy olde worlde looking watch.
Agree. And I actually have one :-)
You're right - you can't.

The Panerai 662 and 663 have got to be up there.
Rolex? ;)
Shirley, Rolex is not doing reissues.
Their models are an evolution of the old ones, which technically never got out of production. Just like the Moonwatch.
Oh I like itAgree. And I actually have one :-)

I think Zenith have done a decent job with the 69 Vintage, original...
^
Agreed; in either the original or the re-issued version, that's fantastic-looking watch!
I concur...
