Longines Legend Diver Bronze : overview
The Longines Legend Diver Bronze takes up the codes of the historic diving watch launched in 1959. It stands out immediately with its 42mm bronze case. its two crowns and its rotating diver’s bezel set inside the case.
Choosing bronze gives this version a special dimension. This material naturally develops a patina over time depending on use and environment. The appearance of the case thus evolves gradually. while the titanium caseback completes the construction of the watch.
Design and features
The round bronze case is paired with a green dial. a combination that highlights the distinctive character of this Legend Diver. The painted Arabic numerals. the indices and the hands benefit from Swiss Super-LumiNova® to ensure their readability.
The internal rotating diving bezel is one of the characteristic elements of the model. Protected inside the case. it is controlled by one of the two crowns. This architecture helps limit any handling or accidental impacts that could modify its setting.
The sapphire crystal, scratch-resistant, receives several layers of anti-reflective coating. The brown calfskin strap complements the bronze and green dial tones.
Movement and performance
The Longines Legend Diver Bronze is equipped with the Longines L888.5 automatic movement. This mechanical self-winding movement operates at a frequency of 25,200 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve that can reach 72 hours.
The watch displays hours. minutes and seconds. Its water resistance of 30 bar. i.e. 300m. its screw-down crown and its rotating diving bezel correspond to its diving watch design.

A Longines bronze watch that evolves with its owner
The Longines bronze watch takes on a special dimension thanks to its case, which naturally evolves over time. Unlike a case whose appearance remains relatively stable, the bronze gradually develops a patina influenced by wear and the environment.
This feature makes the Longines Legend Diver Bronze a suitable choice for anyone looking for an automatic dive watch with an evolving character. Its green dial. its brown leather strap and the warm shades of bronze create a coherent aesthetic. while the L888.5 calibre and water resistance of 300m preserve the Legend Diver’s functional purpose.
