They slimmed down the case from 42 mm to 39 mm, adopting the original style, and added a steel bracelet, equipping the watches with state-of-the-art specs like never before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Straight forward to 2024\u2019s second half, Longines <strong>adds three colour options<\/strong>, thus totalling, with the initial black and blue, five colour options on a bracelet or a strap when this article goes online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-story-in-brief\">The story in brief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Longines Legend Diver <strong>first appeared in 1959<\/strong> despite\u00a0Longines, whose list of product innovations and watchmaking\u2019s firsts is terrific, thoroughly testing waterproofness and diving watches years before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up front, you instantly recognise the watch by its <strong>unmistakable rotating bezel placed on the dial<\/strong>, an odd design nowadays yet popular in the early days of professional diving watches. However, when approaching this layout, Longines and its Legend Diver quickly come to mind.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1959-2020-logines-legend-diver.jpg\" alt=\"1959-2020 logines legend diver\" class=\"wp-image-52791\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0Legend Diver appeared from 1959 to the mid-70s, when it disappeared from the brand\u2019s catalogue. It surfaced in 2007 in two options, with or without a date window, and in this later\u00a0iteration, it became a collectors\u2019 favourite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward to 2017, the collection <strong>received a significant upgrade<\/strong>, and its pinnacle in 2023 was the 39mm model,\u00a0the most refined and technically advanced\u00a0Legend Diver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-new-longines-legend-diver\">The new Longines Legend Diver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, the Legend Diver followed <strong>the opposite process of most diving watches<\/strong>, debuting larger and slimming down along the way. Most professional watches have gone the opposite direction instead, growing their size well over the original 40 mm or less.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-black.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-black.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-black-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-black-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-black-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-black-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-black-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The 39mm size is a first in the Legend Diver history, yet not the smallest as exemplified by the <strong>listed 36mm model<\/strong> conceived as a unisex model or for women\u2019s primarily and specific markets. What matters the most is how heavily Longines invested in improving the product in detail, finishes, and, above all, perceivable technical specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-terracotta-2.jpg\" alt=\"longines legend diver 39 terracotta 2\" class=\"wp-image-53124\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The lacquered dial\u2019s <strong>Arabic numerals and matching applied indexes<\/strong> are three-dimensional and filled with luminescent material.

It turns the Legend Diver <strong>into an officially certified diving watch<\/strong> since\u00a0it\u00a0complies with an international standard of the rules to name a watch an authentic <em>\u201cprofessional diving watch\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-uno.jpg\" alt=\"longines legend diver 39 uno\" class=\"wp-image-53128\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>It involves the design as much as the testing process. In brief, Longines has thoroughly reviewed its factory processes to implement such standards\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0product development process to the extent of building a professional diving watch.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-due.jpg\" alt=\"longines legend diver 39 due\" class=\"wp-image-53132\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>The chronometer certification<\/strong> proves positive of the effort to set the Legend Diver 39 as the reference model in its product category, thus making final customers aware of how much and where a 39 mm Legend Diver\u00a0has improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-bracelet\">The bracelet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the latest-gen 72-hour power reserve Longines L888.6 movement powering the watch, the last mile was the right accessory a Legend Diver was still missing: a new bracelet. Here come\u00a0<strong>two options for a brand<\/strong>: try and apply an add-on option to a long-lasting design or design one seamlessly integrated into a 65-year-old case.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-terracotta-3.jpg\" alt=\"longines legend diver 39 terracotta 3\" class=\"wp-image-53136\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Longines designers, whose latest bracelets stand out in fit and finish, went for option two by unveiling an integrated bracelet whose mid-shiny mesh houses a \u201cbead of rice\u201d mesh and a quick-adjustment folding clasp with double safety push buttons. <strong>It brilliantly integrates into the overall design<\/strong> and does not pinch the wrist once secured onto the wrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be advised that this is Legend Diver\u2019s first-ever bracelet; the contemporary Legend Diver also comes\u00a0with a <strong>Milanese mesh bracelet<\/strong> and once had various bracelet\u00a0options, not integrated, as exemplified\u00a0by 1968 reference 7594-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"variants-and-options\">Variants and options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How many variants and options does a Legend Diver 39 offer? <strong>In 2023, it debuted with a Black or Blue Dial<\/strong> and a bracelet, leather or a Nato Strap. Of course, the options far exceed the colour variants.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This year, <strong>Longines unveils a classic grey<\/strong> that I would pick over the black, a green as a valuable\u00a0option to the\u00a0bestselling blue and a less-mainstream Terracotta, whose\u00a0palette somewhat reminds the patina on some vintage iterations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"final-thoughts\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the new 39 mm size, Longines squared the circle by offering their global audience a unisex all-rounder Legend Diver. Such an upgrade proves how serious Longines was in improving the timepiece, turning it into the most<strong> compelling legacy of the 1959 professional diving model<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a price perspective, the collection kicks off at 3,450 euros on a leather or NATO strap and stops at 3,800 euros on a bracelet, which I reckon is the option.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-quattro.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-quattro.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-quattro-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-quattro-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-quattro-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-quattro-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/longines-legend-diver-39-quattro-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The improvement area regards the bracelet, whose build quality, as said, is unquestionable, but <strong>the lack of a quick change mechanism<\/strong>\u00a0is questionable instead. It looks like a missed opportunity\u00a0to replace it with a rubber strap, and my thoughts\u00a0go to the tropical one available on the Legend Diver 42 mm, for example. It is very comfortable and helps preserve the bracelet during the summer season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also hope <strong>Longines will consider a limited edition model<\/strong> anytime soon. With the 1971 reference crafted for the Australian Navy, the\u00a0brand has the pedigree to create a 100-piece Legend Diver 39. I am sure it will attract die-hard fans and boost the standard collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
