Longines is a name that doesn’t need any further introduction as it represents a brand of watch manufacturing that is included in the bible of this industry as one of the oldest and most reliable brands. Watch making industry wouldn’t have been the same without the Longines member, this brand bringing a lot of improvements and innovative concepts to the already existing techniques of the early starts in watch manufacturing.
The famous design concept imposed by Longines back in the 1960’s is now resumed with the creation of the new Longines Legend Diver Watch, a timepiece inspired by the retro vintage look of the 1960s, approaching a slim and simple design.
Although conceived for diving, the new Longines Legend Diver Watch amazes through elegance and simplicity, with round and classy design lines that catch the eye immediately. This design was inspired by the 1960’s model, but it brings its own modern contribution to the world of watch manufacturing, with its highly progressive technical mechanism called Longines L633, an automatic ETA movement that assures the amazing water resistanc of 300 meters. Every diver would remain impressed by such property of the watch and the fact that its design is even more appealing; make of this watch a best selling piece by Longines. What we didn’t mention about the movement activating this watch is that it provides a power resistance of 45 hours, yet another advantage of buying it.
The case is made of stainless steel and it measures 42 mm in diameter. Although quite large, the slimness of the case compensates. The dial uses simple indications which are luminescent coated and Arabic numerals for the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions and for the 15, 30 and 54 in terms of showing the minute. The logo of the brand and the type of movement, automatic, are specified under the 12 o’clock position. The simple design of the new Longines Legend Diver Watch is quite attractive and the fact that it even won a prize for sporty design offered by the La Revue de Montres magazine in France adds to its importance.
The famous design feature specific to the diving watches proposed by Longines is the image of the diver presented on the back of the case, and this new Longines Legend Diver Watch makes now exception from this rule.
The vintage appearance of this watch is given by its strap as well, which is made from a canvas material to suggest the resistance to water. The black canvas strap is sewn with white lateral stitches as to provide an interesting color contrast.
