There has been a breath of fresh air in the world of\u00a0diving watches<\/strong>\u00a0in recent months. Several brands have revamped their historic collections, updating their aesthetics, calibres and, in some cases, materials.\u00a0Longines<\/strong>\u00a0has now joined this trend, presenting a revamped version of its\u00a0HydroConquest<\/strong>\u00a0line, the\u00a0diving watch<\/strong>\u00a0from the Maison of the Winged Hourglass, together with the Legend Diver. An interesting project which has led to the creation of a collection consisting of\u00a0fourteen references<\/strong>\u00a0with a lot of character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ready to read, in the following lines, an account of the new references in the\u00a0Longines HydroConquest collection<\/strong>, their\u00a0technical and aesthetic characteristics<\/strong>, and how the brand has chosen the reliability of a\u00a0tried and tested calibre<\/strong>. We will focus in particular on one variant, without forgetting the entire batch of references, including a\u00a0special exclusive edition<\/strong>\u00a0dedicated to\u00a0single-brand boutiques<\/strong>,\u00a0shop-in-shops<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0e-commerce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LONGINES HYDROCONQUEST: HISTORY AND EVOLUTION<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Longines<\/strong>\u00a0has brought forward the\u00a020th anniversary<\/strong>\u00a0of the\u00a0HydroConquest collection<\/strong>\u00a0to redesign it. The line was launched in 2007 as an extension of the\u00a0Conquest collection<\/strong>\u00a0and as a watch strongly linked to\u00a0water sports<\/strong>. In just under two decades, it has evolved through a few significant stages. The first of these was in 2018, when the Maison refined its proportions, working on\u00a041 and 43 mm cases<\/strong>\u00a0and introducing a\u00a0ceramic bezel<\/strong>, now the standard for\u00a0high-end diving watches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Logines<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The newly presented version, however, is based on the design evolution introduced in 2023, with a new visual identity for the collection. This result was achieved with updated\u00a0dial and bezel colours<\/strong>, a more slender and refined\u00a0case profile<\/strong>(starting with the\u00a0crown guards<\/strong>), and the introduction, for the first time in the collection, of the\u00a0GMT function<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE DIAL OF THE NEW LONGINES HYDROCONQUEST<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This new\u00a0HydroConquest<\/strong>\u00a0version with a\u00a0blue ceramic bezel<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0black dial<\/strong>\u00a0is therefore a direct descendant of the GMT version in terms of case design, with one important difference. The latter is available in diameters of\u00a043 and 41 mm<\/strong>, while the new\u00a0HydroConquest<\/strong>\u00a0\u2018drops\u2019 to\u00a039 and 42 mm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Longines<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In both versions, but especially in the\u00a039 mm version<\/strong>\u00a0shown on this page, the sleek and wearable design of the\u00a0steel case<\/strong>is clearly visible. As in the GMT, it features a beautiful\u00a0satin finish<\/strong>\u00a0that flows continuously between the lugs and the\u00a0case middle<\/strong>, giving the whole watch a very sporty look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Longines<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"Longines<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The interesting work carried out by\u00a0Longines<\/strong>\u00a0can also be appreciated on the dial. After all, by its very nature, it is the part of the watch that attracts the attention of the observer, making it easy to spot similarities or differences compared to the previous collection. In this case, we are talking about differences, the most obvious of which concerns the \u2018disappearance\u2019 of the\u00a0Arabic numerals<\/strong>\u00a0at 6, 9 and 12, replaced by\u00a0baton indices<\/strong>\u00a0at 6 and 9 and a\u00a0triangular index<\/strong>\u00a0at 12, already present in the GMT and typical of\u00a0divers\u2019 watches<\/strong>. The other indices have also been transformed, from batons to\u00a0rectangular markers<\/strong>, beautifully executed with\u00a0Super-LumiNova<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Longines<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"Longines<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0hour and minute hands<\/strong>\u00a0have been re-proportioned, while the\u00a0seconds hand<\/strong>\u00a0retains its \u2018lollipop\u2019 design. Another important detail on the dial can be found at\u00a06 o\u2019clock<\/strong>. Along with the\u00a0water resistance<\/strong>\u00a0indication,\u00a030 bar<\/strong>\u00a0as befits a professional\u00a0diver\u2019s watch<\/strong>, and the\u00a0automatic movement<\/strong>, the name of the collection is introduced. It is in a\u00a0blue colour<\/strong>that echoes that of the bezel, contrasting with the dial. A statement of pride, we might say, to emphasise how this watch, although new, is still in keeping with the\u00a0HydroConquest tradition<\/strong>\u00a0that began almost 20 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MILANESE MESH AND THREE-ROW BRACELET: THE NEW OPTIONS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another interesting point that\u00a0Longines<\/strong>\u00a0has worked on is the\u00a0bracelet<\/strong>. In the new collection, the\u00a0rubber strap<\/strong>\u00a0has disappeared and only\u00a0steel bracelets<\/strong>\u00a0remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Longines<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why bracelets in the plural? Because alongside the classic\u00a0three-row bracelet<\/strong>\u00a0already present in the collection, the Maison is introducing the\u00a0Milanese mesh bracelet<\/strong>\u00a0to the\u00a0HydroConquest line<\/strong>\u00a0for the first time. We already know this from the\u00a0Legend Diver collection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Longines<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"Longines<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

These bracelets are entirely\u00a0satin-finished<\/strong>\u00a0and polished on the sides, and their quality greatly enhances the\u00a0perceived quality<\/strong>\u00a0of the watch. The softness of\u00a0Longines\u2019 Milanese mesh<\/strong>\u00a0is easily appreciated once on the wrist. Combined with the compact proportions of the\u00a039 mm case<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0micro-adjustment system<\/strong>\u00a0of the clasp, it takes\u00a0wearability<\/strong>\u00a0to a high level of comfort. The new\u00a0adjustable links<\/strong>\u00a0have been further refined to ensure easy\u00a0customisation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RELIABILITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE L888.5 CALIBRE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As for the movement,\u00a0Longines<\/strong>\u00a0has chosen not to change, favouring\u00a0reliability<\/strong>. The case houses the automatic calibre L888.5<\/strong>, a movement developed by the Manufacture and based on the\u00a0ETA A31.L11<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Longines<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All in all, this was a\u00a0conservative decision<\/strong>, in the sense that this calibre is currently the \u2018driving force\u2019 behind many of the brand\u2019s watches, spanning several lines, from the\u00a0Master Collection<\/strong>\u00a0to the\u00a0Flagship<\/strong>, from the\u00a0Conquest<\/strong>\u00a0to the previous\u00a0HydroConquest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Longines<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The reason seems quite understandable: to focus on a\u00a0proven<\/strong>,\u00a0reliable<\/strong>, and\u00a0easy-to-maintain calibre<\/strong>\u00a0with more than satisfactory performance. We are talking about a\u00a072-hour power reserve<\/strong>,\u00a025,200 vibrations per hour<\/strong>, and a\u00a0silicon balance spring<\/strong>\u00a0that makes the movement insensitive to the negative effects of\u00a0magnetic fields<\/strong>. It is a logical choice, especially since we are talking about a\u00a0professional watch<\/strong>\u00a0that must make\u00a0reliability<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0ease of servicing<\/strong>\u00a0two of its cornerstones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ALL THE REFERENCES OF THE NEW LONGINES HYDROCONQUEST<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the reference with a\u00a0black dial<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0blue ceramic bezel<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a039 mm<\/strong>, there is, as mentioned, the\u00a042 mm version<\/strong>. A double size that is also available across the other references in the new collection.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Logines<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

All have the option of a\u00a0three-row bracelet<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Milanese mesh<\/strong>; what changes are the colours:\u00a0green bezel and dial<\/strong>,\u00a0black bezel and dial<\/strong>,\u00a0blue bezel and dial<\/strong>,\u00a0slate grey bezel and black dial<\/strong>,\u00a0black bezel and ice blue dial<\/strong>. All\u00a0bezels are ceramic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to these,\u00a0Longines<\/strong>\u00a0has also presented a very interesting edition, again in\u00a0double diameter<\/strong>, reserved exclusively for its\u00a0single-brand boutiques<\/strong>,\u00a0shop-in-shops<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0e-commerce<\/strong>. An\u00a0ice blue dial<\/strong>\u00a0is paired with a\u00a0dark blue bezel<\/strong>, creating an almost\u00a0tone-on-tone effect<\/strong>\u00a0that makes this version of the\u00a0HydroConquest<\/strong>\u00a0very elegant. However, the\u00a0Milanese mesh bracelet<\/strong>\u00a0is not available for this model, only the\u00a0three-row bracelet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Logines<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"Logines<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There is also a\u00a0quartz version<\/strong>, available only with a\u00a0three-row bracelet<\/strong>\u00a0(no Milanese mesh) and with an\u00a0aluminium bezel<\/strong>, not ceramic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRICES AND CONCLUSIONS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Given that the price range of the new\u00a0HydroConquest collection<\/strong>\u00a0is between\u00a0\u20ac 2,200 and \u20ac 2,350<\/strong>\u00a0depending on the bracelet, we believe there are a few considerations to be made about this product launch, which characterises\u00a0Longines\u2019 spring 2026 collection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting with the one we opened the article with, namely that the\u00a0refreshed design<\/strong>\u00a0of this collection continues a trend already seen in other brands. In our opinion, it does not only respond to the need to\u00a0revamp the look of a product<\/strong>\u00a0in order to \u2018reactivate\u2019 its\u00a0life cycle<\/strong>, which is destined to fade when it remains unchanged for too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Longines<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"Longines<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Instead, it responds to the need to align the watch with a trend in which\u00a0enthusiasts<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0end customers<\/strong>\u00a0seek\u00a0excellent details<\/strong>\u00a0even in\u00a0mid-range products<\/strong>. This is because they are aware that, in recent years,\u00a0watchmaking<\/strong>\u00a0has raised its\u00a0quality standards<\/strong>\u00a0and, in order to continue to succeed in the market, collections must necessarily adapt to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This does not mean that the old\u00a0HydroConquest line<\/strong>\u00a0was not of high quality. Quite simply, its quality was excellent but no longer sufficient in relation to what the market now demands from a watch of this kind.\u00a0Longines<\/strong>\u00a0understood this and acted accordingly; not everyone would have done so, especially at a complex time like the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
