It is a well known fact that Longines is one of the most popular brands when it comes to talking about diving. Its rich history in creating timepieces that accompanied divers is well known. We are also aware that the Longines Legend Diver is one of the most emblematic collection of the brand's Heritage segment. This time around Longines adds a splash of colour to the collection with new creations in blue, green and brown.

Longines' history of creating diving watches began in early 1937 when timepiece were expected to have water-resistance when it came to evaluating the quality. Keeping this criteria in mind, Longines developed a watch case with water-resistant push-pieces that housed the brand's renowned 13ZN calibre. This led to the winged-hourglass brand to patent the above mentioned case structure. It was followed by Longines introducing a myriad of developments to the timepiece and launching its first civil watch in 1958 and many other watches of this type during the 1960s. The line has gradually expanded over time and today is offered in three new colour versions.
