The Third-Generation Longines Hydroconquest — Is This The Brand's Best Dive Watch Yet?

The Longines Hydroconquest has been a popular dive watch in the slightly more accessible segment since 2007. Initially sold in both automatic and quartz versions, it offered an attainable taste of serious dive-watch prowess from a heritage brand. The Hydroconquest underwent a major overhaul in 2018 and another in 2023. While that latest generation updated the GMT model, no V3 time-and-date diver was available yet. That changes today. We got a chance to handle the new Longines Hydroconquest in 39mm and 42mm sizes. A total of six colorways enter the standard collection. Today, we go hands-on with the 39mm version with a dark blue dial and the 42mm model with a frosted blue sunray dial. Let’s have a closer look!
