Longines Expands the Legend Diver Collection with a Heritage-Inspired Model

The grained black dial offers exceptional contrast and readability while preserving the unmistakable DNA of the collection. White indexes and raised Arabic numerals, paired with satinated arrow hands, are all coated with “light Old Radium” Super-LumiNova® to ensure reliable visibility in all environments. An additional safety feature for divers is the seconds hand with its luminescent tip that serves to confirm that the watch is running, even in the dark.

A domed sapphire crystal, featuring a black metallic coating and multi-layer anti-reflective treatment on both sides, protects the vintage-style dial.

This version is paired with a finely crafted stainless-steel Milanese mesh bracelet, offering exceptional flexibility, wrist comfort, and a refined appearance. The bracelet is equipped with a micro-adjustable, double‑folding safety clasp that balances technical performance with understated elegance. An additional black rubber “tropic” style bracelet is also included.

Staying true to the proportions of the original 1959 model, the timepiece features a brand new 42-mm stainless-steel case. The internal rotating bezel — a Longines innovation first introduced in 1936 — remains housed safely inside the case and is operated via the screw‑in crown at 2 o’clock. Graduated on a 60‑minute scale and topped with a luminescent triangle, the bezel enhances safety by preventing accidental manipulation or external shocks. It preserves the original 1959 aesthetic with its grained black finish and metallic indexes.
