Longines is expanding its HydroConquest collection this year, offering reimagined variations. These watches feature a bezel enhanced with a coloured ceramic insert adding a touch of brilliance and modern styling. The new models are available in 3 hands/calendar (41 mm and 43 mm) and chronograph (41 mm) versions.
Longines HydroConquest collection meets the stardards of divind watches while remaining true to the elegance of the Swiss watchmaker. The distinctive characteristics of this collection include water-resistance to 300 metres, a unidirectional rotating bezel, screw-down crown and case back, crown protection and a double security folding clasp with integrated diving extension.
Highly technical and innovative ceramic has been added to the bezel of the new HydroConquest models. Ultra resistant and scratch-resistant, this insert, which matches the colour of the dial, ties together the fully modernized design and sporty silhouette of this collection. The brilliance of the hands and the hour markers adorned with Super-LumiNova® stand out in sharp contrast to the dark look of the new grey, black and blue sunray dials.
The 3 hands/calendar models are powered by the mechanical self-winding movement Calibre L888.2 (ETA A31.L01), beating at the frequency of 25'200 vibrations per hour and offering a 64-hour power reserve. The chronograph model houses the mechanical self-winding movement with a column-wheel chronograph mechanism Calibre L688.2 (ETA A08.L01) It beats at 28’800 vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of 54 hours.
More ergonomic and more comfortable, the strap has also been upgraded, with colours that match the dial, while the metal version combines polished and brushed steel for a truly impressive finish.
