Brace yourselves, watch aficionados, because a legacy 65 years in the making just got a fresh, modern twist. Longines is diving into summer 2025 with three sleek new additions to its iconic Legend Diver collection – reaffirming its status as the ultimate blend of deep-sea heritage and Swiss precision.
This season, Longines isn’t just revisiting history; it’s refining it. Say hello to a bold matt white dial variant and a duo of sporty-yet-sophisticated rubber strap options in oceanic blue and jet black – proving that diving watches can be just as much about style as they are about performance.
A White Dial That Pops
At the heart of the latest lineup is a 39mm stainless-steel model boasting a stunning matt white dial. Clean, crisp, and designed for maximum legibility, it features long indexes, raised Arabic numerals, and luminous satinated black and light green arrow hands – all powered by the Longines calibre L888.6. A domed sapphire crystal with black-metallic coating and anti-reflective treatment ensures everything looks sharp in any light, from the boardroom to the barrier reef.
Completing the look is a stainless-steel bracelet with beads-of-rice centre links and a micro-adjustable double-folding clasp – a tactile nod to vintage elegance fused with contemporary wearability.
Rubber Straps Get The Luxe Treatment
Also new for 2025 are refreshed editions of the blue and black lacquered dial Legend Divers, now paired with high-durability rubber straps in matching hues. Rugged but refined, these new straps make the Legend Diver more versatile than ever – ready to transition from wetsuit to weekend wear without missing a beat. With a diver’s pin-buckle for a secure fit, they’re built to move with you whether you’re 30 metres below or grabbing brunch above sea level.
All The Specs, All The Style
Behind its heritage-inspired exterior, the new Legend Diver collection is all high-performance. Each piece in the trio maintains a sleek 39mm case with alternating polished and satin finishes and dual screw-in crowns – one of which controls the internal rotating bezel, a Longines innovation dating back to 1936.
Water-resistant to 30 bar (300 metres) and ISO 6425-certified, these COSC-certified chronometers also boast magnetic resistance ten times greater than standard ISO 764 benchmarks, thanks to a silicon balance spring and state-of-the-art components. And with a power reserve of up to 72 hours, it’s the kind of watch you’ll wear all weekend – and beyond.
Longines & Diving: A Historic Pairing
Longines has been making waves in the diving world since the early 20th century. From working with the Royal Navy to producing one of the first diving chronographs in 1937, the brand has always balanced exploration with innovation. The internal bezel design used in the Legend Diver? That’s a Longines original from 1936.
With the 2025 collection, Longines continues to prove that elegance isn’t just an attitude – it’s a commitment to evolving without losing sight of where you’ve been.
