Longines HydroConquest.
Longines HydroConquest for Saturday.
This 43mm stainless steel Diver is only 11.9mm tall and has a lug-to-lug distance of 53.50 with 21mm between the lugs. It fits well on my 20cm (8 inch) wrist. It is water-resistant to 300 meters for all my desk diving needs.
Beneath the sapphire crystal sits a matt green dial. The anti-reflective coating affords a clear view to the dial, the silvered polished hands, applied Arabic numerals and indexes as well as the date at 3 o'clock. The hands, numerals, and indexes have Super-LumiNova liberally applied. A stainless steel bracelet, with a few micro adjustment points and a double folding clasp completes the package.
Under the solid engraved caseback sits the Longines caliber L888, based on the ETA A31.L11. It beats at 3.5 Hrz and has a 72-hour power reserve. This non-COSC movement consistently runs +3/-1 per day. All in all, it is a solid timepiece and good value.
Watch collector and enthusiast since 1976.

Ya, I'm going to have to get the strap.
That's a very nice piece right there!

I have the 41mm grey dial version. Lovely watch which is a keeper in my collection.
IMO it’s only let down by the rather underwhelming clasp.
