All About Longines Hydroconquest Watches

The renowned watch manufacturer Longines was established in 1832, located in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. Incorporating its timeless designs and technical advancements, the brand has delivered countless remarkable watches to the market. Its long tradition and craftsmanship have led the Longines company to massive achievements as a pioneer in Swiss luxury watch manufacturing. 

Longines has been contributing with its innovations to the watchmaking industry since its launch. At the time in the early 1800s, the Swiss pocket watches were all powered by movements with cylindrical escapements that could only be wound with keys. Longines was the first watchmaker that came up with a watch that could be wound by its crown in 1867. The revolutionary mechanism, against the key-wound mechanism, is considered one of the most important inventions to the history of horology. Since then Longines has reached an unshakable status in the watchmaking industry. 

The brand has released a number of robust and practical pieces with elegant looks for sports lovers. Longines has continuously expanded and has been improving its collections with tremendous new models to its family. The Longines HydroConquest is one of its popular sports watches well crafted with its incredible innovations. 

The Longines HydroConquest debuted in 2007 as a new addition to the family of Longines sports watches. As its names suggested, this watch was made for the conquest of the aqua world. These Longines dive watches surprised the world with its high performance that even surpassed the set standard of the sports watch segment. Within a very short span of time, these Longines diver watches have grabbed the heart of watch lovers from all across the world.

Moreover, this unidirectional bezel allows the wearer to measure correct diving time with its counter-clockwise rotation during the dive. This bezel is available in options of different colours including red, black, and blue. Its Super-LumiNova coated hands and indices on the dial also enhance readability under any condition of poor vision.
