NO-COMPROMISE
The upgrade of the winged-hourglass brand’s flagship diver enthralls with its new features and state-of-the-art qualities that gift it with an up-to-the-minute look.
In 1959, Longines unveiled a diver boasting outstanding assets. Its case middle stood out with its two crowns. One placed at 4 o’clock was used to set the time and wind the caliber, whilst the other at 2 o’clock let the wearer move the 60-minute graduated bidirectional internal bezel. The aim of this option was to offer underwater explorers a real high-performing tool. As upgrades were rolled out, the 42 mm-diameter case became increasingly waterproof, moving from a depth of 120 to 300 meters. What’s more, every version was absolutely in line with the trends of the times it had been imagined for. The novel Legend Diver 39 mm pursues this score. Given its slimmer size, the references showcased are more versatile, suit all wrists, yet never undermine the collection-specific technical and stylistic qualities.
In short, time data on the blue or black dial, topped with Super-LumiNova®, is still wonderfully-easy to read. The Legend Diver 39 mm is fully compliant with the ISO 6425 standard inherent to dive watches. Moreover, it hosts a high-performing, accurate L888.6 caliber. This selfwinding movement’s chronometry is certified by the COSC. It also delivers a comfortable power reserve of 72 hours. To ensure it goes amazingly well with every style and is perfectly at home on both land and under the oceans, these timepieces are worn on a metal bracelet or on a brown NATO-type leather strap.
