EVER-SO EFFECTIVE ELEGANCE
These upgrades take on the time data scenography of the collection’s GMT models. What’s more, some also flaunt Milanese mesh-style bracelets.
The 2007-launched HydroConquest collection gave Longines the opportunity to once again equip its dive watches with a mechanical caliber. Since then, Longines has never stopped fine-tuning its models by adding technical innovations and design enhancements. All ensure the information displayed is read at a glance. The latest newcomers to date pursue this route with blue, black and green lacquered dials. On top, the hour chapter made up only of Super-LumiNova®-coated markers is hovered over by a duo of hands dressed in the same luminescent material.
These HydroConquest pieces feature 39 and 42 mm-diameter, 11.70 mm-thick cases, still waterproof to depths of 300 meters, topped with graduated unidirectional ceramic bezels, set off with integrated metal bracelets. A trio, in the same sizes, is set apart with its different color combinations. Black blends with vibrant azure or slate gray, and ice blue with the deepest shades of the abyss. These pieces are complemented by alternative wraparounds fashioned in Milanese mesh. This heightens the timepiece’s classy look. Data is driven by Caliber L888.5, beating at 3.5 Hz. This automatic movement boasts a silicon spring that meets the ISO 764 resistance standard when subjected to a magnetic field of 4,800 A/m. It delivers a comfortable power reserve of 72 hours when fully wound. All you need to enjoy wearing the HydroConquest anytime, anywhere.
