Longines HydroConquest homages

Longines launched the HydroConquest in 2007 as the diving-focused extension of its 1954 Conquest line. A 2026 update offers it in 39 mm and 42 mm steel cases with 300 m water resistance, and fits ceramic bezel inserts across the range in place of the aluminium inserts of earlier generations.

The 42 mm primary reference has a scalloped unidirectional bezel with a lumed triangle at 12, applied round markers with batons at 6 and 9, a faceted diamond-shaped hour hand, and sloped crown guards. It comes on a three-link steel bracelet or a Milanese mesh bracelet, and uses an automatic movement with a silicon balance-spring and up to 72 hours of power reserve.
