Longines HydroConquest Adventure, Vintage-Inspired

Longines, known for its elegant timepieces, has expanded its HydroConquest collection with the adventurous new 41mm model. Originally released in 2007, the HydroConquest underwent a makeover in 2018, featuring various sizes, colors, and materials. The latest edition, unofficially named the "HydroConquest 41mm Adventure," stands out with its vintage-inspired design.

The watch boasts a 41mm case with large lugs and crown guards, a unidirectional bezel in green with a cream-colored, patina-like diving scale. The dial is black with a finely grained texture, giving it a unique charm. Cream-colored Super-LumiNova fills the applied numerals, markers, hands, and even the date window, adding to the retro-styled appeal. The timepiece is both robust and stylish, with a screw-down crown and a 300m water-resistance.

The HydroConquest 41mm Adventure comes with a green textile NATO strap, perfectly complementing the watch's adventurous theme. It is also available with a solid 3-link steel bracelet option. Powering the watch is the automatic calibre L888.3, based on the ETA 2892 with a silicon hairspring, offering a remarkable 72-hour power reserve.

The new Longines HydroConquest 41mm Adventure is now available from the brand and retailers, priced at HK$ 14,500, the same as other versions in the collection.
