Longines Ballon Bleu MKS Factory Review

The Longines Ballon Bleu model is produced by MKS Factory with a solid 316L stainless steel case, standard case diameter and ETA 2836-2 caliber in accordance with Swiss norms architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

What is the quality of the MKS Factory Longines Master double calendar? Is it worth buying?

Let's look at the external dimensions of the watch: the dimensions of the wristwatch are 38.5 x 11 mm, it is made of 316L steel material and has a day and date window at the 3rd position. The overall design of the watch is simple and elegant; An ideal entry option for most watch enthusiasts.

In general, the resemblance of the MKS Factory Longines Master double calendar to the original is very successful. The polishing work of the case is almost no different from the original; The scratch-resistant sapphire glass used is extremely clear and bright. The detail work on the classic silver "grain of wheat" patterned dial and blue steel hour and minute hands is masterfully done.

The blue annealed steel hour and minute hands are beautiful; The Arabic numeral patterned dial surface and polished frame attract attention.

The polishing work on the side surface of the case is extremely fine; The lines are clear and fluid, and the sense of curve is very strong. The Longines logo on the crown is very distinct and three-dimensional, its resemblance is extremely high. The slim thickness of the case also matches the original perfectly.

On the movement side, the MKS Factory Longines Master double calendar uses a 2836 automatic mechanical movement; It works precisely and stable, its performance is also very reliable! The engraving and engraving on the automatic rotor of the mechanism is also exactly reflected in the original.

Its thickness is the same as the original, and the Seagull 2836 movement is used. If you have examined the new model, you know that the automatic rotor of the movement has now been converted to the engraved type, which is their own production; This is just the difference between the new model and the old model. There is also a dot on the dial surface: the date window. In the old model, this date window was united in a single piece, a long rectangle; In the new model, the middle is separated, that is, the day and date are separate from each other. This is one difference between the new model and the old model; A slight change in the dial surface and a slight change in the mechanism. Of course, whether it is a new or old model is not a criterion for distinguishing between real and replica; I am just sharing with you that this is the old model and now there is a new model. You don't have to worry if someone tells you "this is fake" when you buy it; this is just the previous version, both are the same.

This model is also compatible with the original. You can view xbiao images from the link below.

As for the strap details, the steel bracelet is the same thickened type as the original; It is made with polished workmanship on both sides and brushed workmanship in the middle, and its texture is very pleasant when installed. The brand letters and the embossed logo in the middle of the bracelet are also very appropriate. The classic folding clasp, on the other hand, opens and closes easily and does not open by itself.

Summary: The price-performance of this watch is really high. I haven't recommended such a simple, classic tool watch in a long time; for example, classic watches such as the XXX Ballon Bleu, Master double calendar, or the likes of the XXX Portugieser Chronograph, Portugieser 7-Day, Portofino, Mark MKS Factory has worked really diligently; In general, the price-performance of this watch is very good, nothing more, nothing less, just right. If you like it, you can buy it.
