Longines Legend Diver - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

The Legend Diver lives up to its name. A legendary watch, with an iconic design and whose codes have changed very little between the original and its recent reissues. The one I bought, which is the reference prior to the current one, is the one that convinces best in this not easy exercise of bringing a watch from yesteryear up to date: slightly faded cream indices, domed sapphire crystal and subtle Milanese mesh bracelet contribute to a resolutely vintage aesthetic, all in a very practical 36mm package that still offers presence. Many brands are trying their hand at neo-vintage these days, but few have succeeded as well as Longines with this watch!

The Longines Legend Diver L.3.774.4 is part of the Longines Heritage collection, which pays tribute to the historical watches that have defined the brand's identity and reputation over the years. This specific model is a reissue of Longines' classic 1960s divers' watches, with a modern twist. It typically features a stainless steel case, two crowns, and a distinctive black dial with luminous hands and markers for visibility underwater. Its design is often praised for its vintage aesthetic combined with contemporary watchmaking technology. If you're considering purchasing one or looking for more specific information, I'd like to recommend this timepiece as a joy to wear.

The Longines Legend Diver is a model that meets a simple need: which diver to choose if you don't like the "classic" design with a large external rotating bezel of pure and hard divers. The super compressor case allows you to answer this dilemma by replacing this bezel with a flange that fits into the case as a continuation of the dial. This means you almost don't realize that it's a diver, except for the presence of two crowns. Not being a fan of tool or professional watches, this one allows me to integrate an elegant diver into my collection. Its strong points: the style of the Longines logo and the Automatic font, the discreet luminova, the magnificent flat glass. Points to improve: a notched flange would be perfect to set it properly at 12 o'clock, the date is not mandatory, it deserves a more suitable steel bracelet than the brand's mesh. In 39mm it would be perfect
