Swiss heritage watch manufacturer Longines has added a new range of colors to its Diver collection called the Legend Divers. The new colors serve to transform the aesthetic appeal of Longines staple Diver wristwatches without impacting their foundational utility-focused elements.
For example, the Legend Diver comes equipped with the brand's Calibre L888.5 movement and features 300 meters of water resistance. In addition, the watch comes in two size versions -- one has a 36 mm case and the other, a 42mm case. Aside from differences in size and power reserve, the watches are essentially the same.
Where the Legend Diver stands out, however, is in its unique color options, which feature a gradient dial. These include an Oxblood Red, which fades to black at the edges, a deep Navy Blue, a wheat-like Tan, and an Ash Gray.
