Introduction of the Longines Legend Diver Bronze 42 mm Watch Replica

For watch aficionados, Longines' forte is the Longines Heritage replica collection, a series of expensive vintage refurbishments that began with the Legend Diver in 2007. 1960s 7042 with its unique double-crowned "Super Compressor" case, the legendary diver became a bestseller with its convincing vintage style. style became a bestseller. Now Longines has just launched the Longines Legend Diver Bronze 42 mm Watch Replica L3.774.1.50.2, with a new case material but without the date function long sought after by watch aficionados.

42 MM Case

Unlike most remakes that are upsized for modern tastes, the Legend Diver is identical to the original in size, with a case that’s a relatively large 42 mm in diameter. Previously available only in steel, it’s been offered in bronze for the first time, although Longines has made other Heritage models in bronze recently, namely the Avigation Type A-7.

An alloy of copper and tin, bronze is popular because of its varying appearance that goes from bright and rosy when new to a muted, aged look as a patina develops on its surface. Formed as the alloy reacts with air and moisture, the patina is an oxide later that protects the metal from further oxidisation.

But because bronze can cause irritation with prolonged contact on skin, all bronze watches have case backs in hypoallergenic metals, explaining why the case back of the new Legend Diver replica is titanium.

 

Bronze Dial

This newest model marks a major departure in both case material and dial color, yet the bronze case and gradient green dial are a natural, organic fit for the watch’s vintage styling. Bronze is an ideal case material for this throwback design, evoking the grandeur and mystique of the early days of skin diving. In addition, bronze allows for an intimate ownership experience, as the watch will naturally patina over time, creating natural shifts in hue and texture that make each watch one-of-a-kind, telling the story of your adventures.

Despite the vintage styling, the Longines Legend Diver replica doesn’t overlook practicality and modern accouterments. The original reference 7042 featured a Plexiglas crystal, but in the modern iteration, Longines has opted for a highly domed box sapphire crystal that combines the warmth and charm of Plexiglas with the scratch-resistance and clarity of sapphire. Though the case is bronze, the caseback is crafted from titanium and features a re-creation of the original deeply embossed spear diver. To ensure legibility, no matter the time of day or the depth of the dive, the hands and hour markers are coated with Super-LumiNova.

The dial of the bronze Longines Legend Diver replica watch retains the styling of the rest of the line, including an internally rotating bezel, Arabic numerals at 3, 6, 9, and 12, and a distinctive and extremely legible handset. What truly sets this model apart is the deep emerald-green lacquered dial, which darkens to black toward the periphery. The dial is gorgeous; combined with the gilt hands and markers and framed by the bronze case, the effect is captivating and evocative of a bygone era.

Caliber L888.5

The Longines Legend Diver replica is powered by a Longines Caliber L888.5. This bespoke movement is made exclusively for Longines through Swatch Group partner ETA and is based on the ETA A31.L11 automatic movement. This is no standard off-the-shelf movement — it features a silicon balance spring, 64-hour power reserve, and a beat rate of 25.2kbph.

Cocoa-brown Strap

The Longines Legend Diver watch replica ships with both a leather and fabric strap, allowing the watch to be dressed up or down with ease. The leather strap is a rich cocoa-brown with minimal stitching that plays off the warm tones of the bronze and adds a touch of class. The Army-green NATO, on the other hand, is designed to complement the green tones of the dial and is right at home on land or in the water. Both straps include a signed bronze buckle, completing the look.
