Dive into summer with three new models

Longines is expanding its legendary diving watch collection for 2025 with timeless heritage and contemporary design. The Legend Diver adds a stunning new matt white dial model and introduces versatile blue and black rubber strap options. The legacy of this iconic diving watch, first introduced by Longines in 1959, is continued in these new models, combining design elegance with cutting-edge performance.

Instantly recognisable by its dual crowns and internal rotating bezel, this emblematic timepiece unites more than six decades of diving heritage with contemporary precision and timeless design.

For 2025, the Swiss watchmaker has introduced a model featuring an immaculate, matt white dial that provides exceptional contrast and readability, while preserving the unmistakable character of the collection. The hours are marked by extended indexes and raised Arabic numerals, complemented by satinated black and light green arrow hands, all treated with Super-LumiNova® to ensure optimal visibility in all conditions. This pristine dial is protected by a domed sapphire crystal with black-metallic coating and multi-layer anti-reflective treatment on both sides.

The timepiece is fitted with a stainless-steel bracelet, distinguished by its central beads-of-rice links that ensure exceptional flexibility and wrist comfort. A micro-adjustable, double-folding safety clasp completes the bracelet, delivering both technical precision and refined sophistication.

Complementing the collection are two models featuring either a lacquered blue dial or a lacquered black dial, now paired with matching blue or black rubber straps, respectively. These expand the already diverse Legend Diver lineup, which previously offered these distinctive dials with a stainless steel bracelet or leather or nylon nato straps.

Offering a blend of comfort, resilience and style, rubber straps are an essential choice for every occasion in 2025. This new option brings a modern edge, uniting the robust qualities of rubber with the refined aesthetic of the Legend Diver. Each new strap features a diver pin-buckle that ensures a secure fit whether exploring the depths below or enjoying adventures on land.

All three timepieces maintain the sleek 39 mm stainless-steel case with alternating polished and satin finishes. The internal bidirectional rotating bezel—a revolutionary feature first introduced by Longines in 1936—remains protected inside the case and is operated by the screw-in crown at 2 o’clock, which activates it on a 60-minute scale, graduated on the flange and topped with a luminescent triangle symbol. This distinctive and innovative design both honours the legacy of the original model and offers effective protection against accidental movement or impact.

Reflecting Longines’ dedication to outstanding performance, these timepieces meet the ISO 6425 standard for diving watches and are water-resistant to 30 bar (300 metres). The complete Legend Diver range is also officially chronometer-certified by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres), guaranteeing exceptional accuracy in any environment.

At their core is the exclusive Longines calibre L888.6, featuring a silicon balance spring and advanced components that offer magnetic resistance ten times greater than the ISO 764 benchmark. These exceptionally precise automatic watches also boast a power reserve of up to 72 hours.

With its blend of heritage-inspired design and cutting-edge technology, the expanded Legend Diver collection continues to exemplify Longines’ philosophy that elegance is, indeed, an attitude, one that transcends time and remains as relevant today as when the original model first appeared over six decades ago.
