Longines LONGINES SPIRIT FLYBACK PROTOTYPEvsYema Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde/

Owners widely praise the Longines Spirit Flyback Prototype for its attractive finishing, COSC-certified movement, and value as a flyback chronograph. Reviewers highlight its refined 39.5mm case and simplified dial, while some owners appreciate the reduced thickness and improved wearability compared to larger variants, with a lug-to-lug distance noted as potentially long for smaller wrists. The watch features a 68-hour power reserve and a bespoke L791.4 movement. However, the case thickness is a consistent point of discussion, with multiple sources citing 17mm, though some reviewers suggest thoughtful design makes it wear closer to 13.5-14mm. Owners are split on the dial's aesthetic, with some preferring previous configurations with gold subdial rings and concentric textures over the current flat matte dial and cut-off numbers. The leather strap is also noted as stiff and pinching.

The Yema Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde/ is a collaboration watch featuring a hand-painted graffiti-style dial with wet paint drips and spray can pushers, powered by a Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement. One owner noted slight marks on the lugs, bezel, and case of a pre-owned example, rating its condition at 88%. On balance, reviewers highlight the artistic and humorous blend of design elements as the watch's primary appeal.
