Review (Photologue): Longines Legend Diver (LLD),

The Longines Legend Diver (LLD), it is an exact re-issue of the 1960 compressor diver (so says the swatch boyz).











With few parts upgraded and modernised for the 21st century - sapphire crystal, Superluminova and water resistance of 300m.







Otherwise, the proportions and look are straight off the time machine from 1960s, down to the cross-haired crowns.







The modern iteration is powered by a Longines calibre L633 (modified ETA 2824).

The case is an elegant polished steel, with a perfect weight on the wrist.







At 42mm, suits our current time of larger is BETTER. 22mm lugs gives a nice case/strap proportion.











Time peice came with a beautiful kevlar strap on a cross-haired Longines buckle.









IN CONCLUSION:-



IMHO, real value for the money. One of my favs in my humble collection despite the price point. Handsome and well built.



Its demand makes it a rarity in display windows of ADs as well.

i wonder how the lume shoot looks like
