Legend Diver and Conquest are the “duo” in the Longines diving watch. A diving watch based on historical works from the 1950s, featuring a highly contemporary dual crown and built-in scale ring, presenting a highly distinctive diving watch; The other model is guided by modern style, and its appearance and materials are very in line with contemporary aesthetics. Although there are differences in positioning, in terms of parameters, both the legendary diver and the Comcast can achieve 300 meter level waterproofing, and have equally outstanding performance in terms of performance.

What many players are unaware of is that the Comcast series was not originally designed for diving watches, but rather for traditional formal attire watches.
The first generation Longines Concas (1954 model)
The early Comcast watches originated from another classic work of Longines: All Guard. From the case design, pointer style, and various details, they can be said to be a replica of All Guard, except for the use of a floral font marking “Conquest” above the 6-point position on the dial to show the difference.

The release of the familiar Comus diving watch will not be until 2012. Influenced by the popularity of diving watches in recent years, Longines has revived the long lost name of “Comcas” and shifted the style of modern Comcas to sports watches, filling the brand’s gap in the field of diving watches. The Kangkas diving watch has undergone multiple iterations since its inception, with the material of the watch ring upgraded from the first generation anodized aluminum oxide to ceramic; The movement has also been upgraded from L619.2 based on ETA 2892-A2 to L888.5. But what remains unchanged is the “family style” design: a diamond shaped glow at the front end of the instant needle and Arabic numeral time markers at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock positions. rolex replica watches
Intermediate gold model (model: L3.781.3.98.7)
In addition to the material and movement of the watch ring, the new version of Comcast has also made adjustments to the diameter of the watch. The previous generation of the Comcast diving watch offered two options: 39mm and 44mm, with sizes of either large or small always giving the impression of being ‘almost meaningful’. To this end, the new Comcast diving watch has further optimized the diameter to 41mm and 43mm, narrowing the difference between the two diameter versions and becoming more accepted by most players.
PVD version (model L3.784.4.56.9)
Appearance online is one aspect, and the important reason why Comcast can “dominate” is also the performance of the movement. The L888.5 movement on the watch is custom-made by ETA for Longines, with a diameter of 25.6mm and a thickness of 3.85mm. The number of gemstone bearings is 21. The vibration frequency of the movement was selected as a relatively rare 25200vph (3.5hz), and 72 hours of dynamic storage were obtained by adjusting the vibration frequency appropriately. The L888.5 movement is designed without jamming and adopts silicon hairspring, which has a certain degree of anti magnetic ability. At the same time, the movement is also equipped with NIVACHOC shock absorbers, known as “dual T shock absorbers” by watch enthusiasts. Its characteristic is that it is made of amorphous metal, which can reduce the displacement of the pendulum shaft tip.
Legendary Diver Black PVD Plating Edition (Model L3.774.2.50.9)
For players who love retro styles, the Longines Legend Diver is also a work worth trying out. In fact, as early as 2007, Longines launched its first generation model, which was upgraded to the L888.2 movement for current sales.
Prototype Table of “Legend Diver” Ref.7042
The legendary diver belongs to the “Classic Replica” series, which is based on the brand’s model 7042 watch from the 1960s and has distinct characteristics of the times. At the same time, diving watches from brands such as Jijia, Zhibai, and Hamilton are all designed with a built-in diving ring and a double crown. In fact, the structure is called “Super Compressor” and is provided by supplier Ervin Piquerez S.A. The “Super Compressor” watch case is specially designed with embedded metal springs. When the watch is subjected to pressure, the springs make the case tighter to enhance waterproof performance. The two crowns serve different functions: the 2-point crown adjusts the inner circle of the scale to control the rotation of the diving countdown circle on the outside of the dial, while the 4-point crown is used to adjust the minute hand. Compared to the external watch ring, the built-in diving scale ring mainly has the following advantages:
Built in scale circle
Firstly, it has higher security. We know that divers’ precise grasp of diving time is particularly important. If they accidentally touch the scale circle during diving, they are very likely to fall into danger due to misjudging the time. Therefore, the scale circle of most diving watches often can only rotate counterclockwise to ensure safety. The built-in diving ring must be controlled through the crown, which can avoid reading errors caused by accidentally touching the ring and improve usage safety.
