Longines Legend Diver – Retro Dive Watches with an Inner Bezel
The Longines Legend Diver is the modern version of the brand's 1960s dive watch: two crowns, an inner rotating scale and a clean retro dial. Our range features men's automatic versions with 300 metres of water resistance; if a specific version interests you, write to us and we will look into sourcing it. As an official Longines dealer, we send a genuine watch with the manufacturer warranty, and our own watch service takes care of servicing.
What sets the Legend Diver apart from an average dive watch?
On most dive watches the bezel turns on the outside edge of the case. On the Legend Diver, the minute scale sits at the edge of the dial, under the crystal, and is turned with the second crown. This makes the watch cleaner and tidier, and the scale never gets scratched. Behind the retro look there is a genuine dive watch: the Legend Diver is water resistant to 30 atm.
Who do we recommend the Legend Diver to?
- To anyone who wants a dive watch with a vintage mood that is still fine for everyday wear.
- To those who like a watch that does not look like every other sports watch on the wrists around them.
- To those who would also wear it on a textile or leather strap, because the Legend Diver looks especially good with these.
Legend Diver or HydroConquest?
The HydroConquest is the modern dive watch with an outer bezel, in far more sizes and colours. The Legend Diver has more character: the choice is smaller, but the look is more distinctive. If function is the main point, either will do; if it is style, it is worth comparing them side by side in the product photos. You can see the other series among the Longines collections.
Size and strap: what to check before ordering
The Legend Diver's case is relatively broad with a flat bezel, so it looks bigger on the wrist than a dress watch of the same diameter. Measure your wrist circumference and compare it with the diameter given on the product page. If you order it on a metal bracelet, our own watch service will remove links for you; if you later want to swap the strap, we will help with that too.
Legend Diver – what customers ask
Why does the Longines Legend Diver have two crowns?
One crown sets the time, the other turns the inner dive scale at the edge of the dial. This arrangement has been typical of the model since the dive watches of the 1960s.
How water resistant is the Longines Legend Diver?
The Longines Legend Diver is water resistant to 30 atm, that is 300 metres. It is suitable for swimming and diving.
What strap can the Legend Diver be worn on?
It looks good on a metal bracelet, a leather strap or a textile strap; all three suit its retro style. Our own watch service can change the strap if you want to switch later.
What determines the price of a Longines Legend Diver?
Mainly the case size and whether the version comes on a bracelet or a strap. The price is shown on the product page for every version.
