Longines is expanding its legendary diving watch collection for 2025. The Legend Diver adds a striking new matt white dial model and introduces versatile blue and black rubber straps. These new additions continue the legacy of Longines’ iconic diving watch first introduced in 1959, combining design elegance with cutting-edge performance.
For 2025, Longines has introduced reference L3.764.4.16.6 – a model featuring an immaculate, matt white dial that provides exceptional contrast and readability, while maintaining the distinctive DNA of the collection. The hours are marked by extended indexes and raised Arabic numerals, complemented by satinated black and light green arrow hands, all treated with Super-LumiNova® to ensure optimal visibility in all conditions. This pristine dial is protected by a domed sapphire crystal with black-metallic coating and multi-layer anti-reflective treatment on both sides. The watch comes on a stainless-steel bracelet with beads of-rice links at the centre. The bracelet also features a micro-adjustable, double folding safety clasp.
Instantly recognizable by its dual crowns and internal rotating bezel, this emblematic timepiece unites more than six decades of diving heritage with contemporary precision and timeless design.
This new white model is a continuation of Longines 39mm line of Legend Diver watches. Powered by the Longines Calibre L888.6, the watches are not only COSC certified, but as they are all ISO 6425 certified diving watches, each watch as undergone pressure testing to 125% of its depth rating (375m). Beating at 25,200vph the movement also has a power reserve of 3 days (72 hours) so you should be good take it off on Friday and its still going on Monday.
We were fortunate to get hands on with this piece earlier in the year at an invitation only event in London. This is a stunning watch in person and this particular combination provides the greatest flexibility and legibility. Although this is a 39mm watch and inherently a sweet spot for the vast majority of wearers, due to the internal rotating bezel, the dial and bezel combine to present the illusion of a larger dial suiting larger wrists as well.
In addition, Longines have released an integrated rubber strap for the Legend Diver. Available now in two colours; Black and Blue. This is a beautifully soft and pliable strap that’s perfectly suited to a dive watch, and is extremely comfortable on the wrist. The block-integration of the strap further elevates the feel of the watch and is an ideal alternative to a bracelet, but this also serves another important purpose: further lowering the entry price point of the Legend Diver.
Longines have been going from strength to strength over the last few years and this is no exception. The release of the 39mm Legend Diver in 2023, improving the movement, removing the date to create balance and improve legibility and making them all ISO6425 certified dive watches was a notable step. Todays releases further refines and elevates this already iconic piece.
The Longines Legend Diver is available now from www.longines.com starting at £2850
