Review of the Longines Conquest HydroConquest Watch

　　LonginesThe HydroConquest watch series has always been regarded as fine examples of diving timepieces. This collection is specially designed for men committed to conquering the ocean and others passionate about marine activities, offering exceptional performance combined with the brand's signature elegance. This year, at the 2013 Baselworld, Longines introduced new models to the HydroConquest collection, adding another highlight to this classic range. Here, we present one of the blue-bezel diving watches; its azure hue recalls boundless coastlines and the sea breeze. Let us take a look together.

　　Introduction to the Longines Conquest HydroConquest Watch

　　The Longines HydroConquest watch is a high-performance timepiece designed for discerning individuals who pursue superior technology and possess an elegant attitude. Now, with the addition of new brightly coloured models, the Longines HydroConquest collection vividly portrays an even more colourful underwater world.

　　HydroConquest Collection L3.695.4.03.6 As an exemplary diving watch, it features a blue stainless steel case with a diameter of 41 mm. The matching azure dial makes the overall watch striking, dynamic, and full of fashionable appeal.

　　The watch features hours, minutes, seconds, and date display functions, with the date aperture located at the three o'clock position. The classic square frame blends seamlessly with the minimalist Roman numeral hour markers without appearing out of place. The sharply-lined hour hand and 11 hour markers are coated with Super-LumiNova® luminescent material, ensuring that the time can be read quickly and accurately in the pitch-black depths of the sea.

　　The blue bezel can rotate unidirectionally and features 15, 30, and 45 graduation markings to remind divers of their diving time.

　　The screw-down crown is the part of a watch most susceptible to water ingress as it is the only connection between the outside world and the movement. A rubber waterproof gasket is incorporated at the connection of the screw-down crown; when the crown is screwed down tightly, water is strictly kept out of the watch.

　　The stainless steel bracelet has anti-corrosive properties to prevent damage from chemical components in seawater, and is paired with a matching stainless steel folding safety clasp equipped with a diving extension system.

　　The back of the watch features a solid case back design, engraved with the classic Longines trademark—a winged hourglass, which is the oldest registered watch trademark. Housed inside is the self-winding mechanical movement L619, with a power reserve of 42 hours.

　　Having read this far, I would like to recommend a popular Longines watch for everyone. For more enquiries, please add WeChat.
