Thu, 12 April 2007 08:53
The Longines Legend Diver, is a re-issue of a 1960 diving watch produced during the hour of glory of marine exploration and military and sports diving. At the time, in 1953, Longines had participated in the depth record of the bathyscaph “Trieste”, supplying the on-board instruments. Maintaining all of the spirit and design typical of the 1960s, Longines has endowed this classic watch with up-to-date and high-performance technical features: a well-proportioned sapphire glass, two screw-in crowns and screw-down case back to assure water-resistance to 300 meters and turning internal disk for divers.
Movement is the automatic Longines caliber L633 (base ETA 2824-2) with 25 jewels, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and with a power reserve of 38 hours.
The stainless steel case measures 42mm. It has an embossed diver symbol on the caseback.
