Longines Legend Diver Watch L3-674-4

Longines Legend Diver reference L3-674-4, also known as the “LLD” among its numerous enthusiasts. It all started in the late 1950s with the Longines Nautilus Skin Diver. The name is pretty self-explanatory, and shows that Longines was already tackling the rapidly expanding market for dive watches. They quickly doubled down in the early 1960s with the release of a bigger dive watch – the reference 7042 pictured above

Much like the Universal Geneve Polerouter Sub, this watch was built according to the Super Compressor principle, a patent held by the casemaker Ervin Piquerez. The case relied on the increased pressure under water, to further seal the case back and guarantee its water resistance. Several companies jumped on this clever mechanism, which explains why you can find the characteristic cross-hatched crowns typical of Super Compressor cases on many different vintage pieces.

The Legend Diver's 42 mm case, case-back engraving, and two hatched crowns are more than reminiscent of its ancestors, the references 7042, 7150, 7494, and 7594. In a small concession to modernity, a date window has been added (although the first series of the modern Legend Diver did not carry this indication). Note that both modern versions went for more secure screw-down crowns, versus non-screwed down crowns of the original model.
