- 3 Mar 2021
Today we are looking at the truly iconic Longines HydroConquest L37814966.
Let us start right back at the beginning: founded in 1832, in Saint-Imier, the famous Swiss brand Longines boasts a long tradition, characterised by the elegance and performance of their outstanding products. These values are all perfectly represented by the Longines Sport Collection and the Longines Hydroconquest is dedicated to both men and women looking for a high-performance timepiece that combines technical innovation and elegance.
Now, let us take a closer look at the watch itself. Described by Longines as a colourful performance in the diving world', this watch features a stunning sunray blue dial. The dial boasts polished silver hands and applied Arabic numerals and indexes. Beneath the 12 o'clock marker, you can see the well-renowned Longines winged hourglass logo“ first registered in 1889 this is the oldest and unchanged, yet still active registered trademark of its kind.
With a case measuring in at 41mm diameter, this timepiece has a strong wrist presence. The sporty feel of this piece is kept consistent with the use of a screw down crown to maximise water resistance and, amazingly, this particular model can reach depths of up to 300 metres, meaning you don't have to think twice about taking this to the beach with you!
Diving inside this watch, we have the Calibre L888 movement; a movement that was designed exclusively for Longines. This self-winding mechanical movement beats at 12'200 vibrations per hour and allows a power reserve of an incredible 64 hours.
Presented on a polished stainless-steel bracelet, this watch comes with a two-year manufacturer warranty, which is a statement to the watch's quality itself.
Overall, this is an incredible piece, and really combines elegance and durability. What do you think? As an authorised stockist of Longines, we are more than willing to answer any questions you may have about this model, or any within our Longines range.
