New Longines Hydroconquest!
A new update of the popular Hydroconquest collection, incorporating details that deepen the aesthetic created in 2007. In general, its technical characteristics are maintained while adding aesthetic details that make them even more elegant without sacrificing their sporty character.
The new dial design showcases an elegant aesthetic with new applied indices with Super-LumiNova treatment, achieving optimal readability in almost any situation. The collection offers four dial options: polished lacquered finishes in blue, black, and green (each adding depth and visual interest), as well as a characteristic frosted blue version with a sunray effect, which achieves a beautiful play of light across the textured surface. Five ceramic bezel colors frame these dials: classic black, blue, and slate gray, plus two vibrant new colors: deep green and bright blue. This allows for various dial and bezel combinations, all of them highly attractive and adaptable to almost all tastes.
As already mentioned, the steel cases are available in sizes of 39 and 42 mm in diameter with a thickness of 11.70 mm. The crystal is sapphire with a multi-layered anti-reflective treatment on both sides. It features a unidirectional rotating bezel with a ceramic insert in blue, black, deep green, slate gray, or bright blue, with an elapsed time scale and a Super-LumiNova treated capsule on a triangle at the “0” position. The crown is screw-down, and the caseback is steel with a brushed finish, engraved with a planisphere and the Longines logo.
Inside, it features the exclusive Longines caliber L888.5. This automatic mechanical movement includes a silicon balance spring and innovative components to achieve exceptional precision, making it ten times more resistant to magnetic fields than required by the ISO 764 standard. This movement has a power reserve of up to 72 hours.
It is available with a metal bracelet and a steel Milanese mesh strap.
