Building on its expertise in the world of sports, Longines is expanding its HydroConquest collection this year, offering reimagined variations. Combining technical excellence and traditional elegance, these watches feature a bezel enhanced with a coloured ceramic insert adding a touch of brilliance and modern styling. This ceramic insert also adds pizzazz to the watch, since it is matched to the dial and strap – either black, grey or blue – reinforcing the vibrant colour. For contrast and readability, the hands and indexes are coated with Super-LumiNova, and the numerals on the bezel are white. This is a true diver’s watch, with 300-metre water resistance, a unidirectional rotating bezel, screw-down crown and case back, crown protector and a double security folding clasp with integrated diving extender. There are two versions, including a 41 mm chronograph model and a 41 mm or 43 mm three-hand with calendar. Each version contains an automatic mechanical movement.
