A new Longines has arrived.

I have always been a fan of the re-issued Legend Diver,tried it many times,....but had to conclude every time that it was not fitting my wrist well with these super-long lugs.
Then came a 36mm version which was simply too small for my liking.
But finally Longines issued the perfect version for me : the 39mm ...with no date !!
Here a few pictures of the watch:
The beads of rice bracelet fits the style of the watch very nicely and is comfortable to wear.
A nice tropic rubber could certainly be a good alternative.
Quite a few welcome changes vs. the 42mm version : brushed/polished case and much shorter lugs including a more wrist friendly shape.
The dramatically domed sapphire creates some nice reflections on the dial and I salute Longines for not using faux-lumina on the dial.
Surprisingly strong lume with a nice color play.
Always good to see a well executed case back.
Longines really listened to the feedback of the customers and came out with the almost perfect watch : the reduced diameter,a more refined case,a nice bracelet,a strongly improved movement incl. COSC certification ...and no-date !!
Probably the only thing that I would have liked to see is a quick adjustment in the clasp.
Another proof that well executed and great quality watches can still be had for a relatively fair price.
Thanks for looking,
Gerard
