Longines was founded in 1832, and since that time it has become one of
the prominent players of Swiss watch manufacturing. They not only carry
an impressive line of diversified models, but they have outfitted some
of the world’s most famous explorers—aviator Charles Lindbergh and polar
explorer Roald Amundsen to name but two.
With the Longines HydroConquest you truly are prepared to
venture into the deep. This watch delivers many attractive features,
including a fantastic 300 m / 30 atm water resistance, a protected
winding crown, a closed case back, and a uni-directionally rotating
stainless steel with grey-colored ceramic insert bezel with a helpful
dive scale.
The sleek stainless steel case measures 43 mm in
diameter, 15.8 mm in height, and rests upon a stainless steel bracelet
with a double locking fold-over clasp.
Beneath the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal you will
encounter a grey dial that sports a large Arabic 12, a date window
between 4 and 5, and a small seconds counter at 9. Chronograph functions
include a center seconds hand, a 30-minute counter at 3, and a 12-hour
counter at 6. Luminescent hands and markers make telling the time quick
and easy in low-light situations.
This is a self-winding automatic watch driven by the
Longines Caliber L688 with column-wheel architecture. From its
magnificent dive capabilities to its stellar construction, we are
confident that the Longines HydroConquest will make an excellent
addition to your collection.
