Longines Hydroconquest 39mm Aluminium Bezel

[Nosonofmine]

Whenever someone is looking for a diver for less around 1k the Longines Hydroconquest is mentioned.

The non-ceramic bezel version can easily be bought for around EUR 950.00 at an AD and that’s how I got mine.




I got the older version L3.641.4.96.6 39mm in blue with the Longines caliber L633.5 which is basically an ETA 2824-2 running at 28800.

The watch is 300m waterproofed and the crown guards look sort of retro but I like it a lot.


The dial features a beautiful blue sunburst. I usually don’t like arabic numerals on a dial but with Longines it is an exception.


The quality of the watch itself is not comparable to any rep I own. It’s way beyond that If you decide to take a closer look.

The bracelet and the clasp are both average.

Bloody love these! Something about the oversized numbers round the dial working with the size of the case and bezel. Thanks for the extra pics - definitely on my hit list!

Great value for money Longines, I used to own the same in Black, sad to sell it as had to release funds

Love Longines. Just visited an generalist AD and they had a couple of Longines, they are stunning in the flesh and offer incredible value. Glws

wow that's a handsome piece of kit, cracking dial colour, I could very happily sport one of them

That’s definitely a contender.

Longines makes some very refined pieces. Nice watch.

You have a good one there!

I have one.

BUT i made two mistakes. I went for the 44mm auto - i really should have got the 41mm. Also the ceramic bezel version is about £300 more. I should have got that one but at the time couldnt afford the uplift.

I've not worn it for a long time; its back in the box. Dare I say the bracelet and clasp feel terrible, very cheap. The movement feels great though!

I'm currently waiting my turn for a Helm Titanium, I considered this watch until I researched Helm
