Brilliant! Now, it’s worth noting from a technical standpoint that the compressor case wasn’t any better at preventing water intrusion than a screw-down crown. But it was one attempt at improving the functionality of a watch that was, first and foremost, built to do a job. Despite their functional limitations — and due to their good looks — compressor cased-watches proved to be popular during the 1960s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe modern Longines Legend Diver is based on vintage Longines compressor-cased divers from the golden age of SCUBA. This particular watch, the Reference L3.674.4, has been updated ever so slightly with a date wheel at 3 o’clock, which only adds to the piece’s utility. Housed in a 42mm, stainless steel compressor-style case with dual crowns, it features a black lacquered dial with stylized Arabic indices, an open minute track and vintage-colored lume. An internal timing bezel features Arabic indices at the cardinal points and a fully graduated minute scale, while a particularly legible handset including an arrow-shaped minute hand makes for quick registering of the time. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIn excellent condition throughout and showing only light wear, this Legend Diver is finished with sapphire crystal, a screw-down case back, 30m of water resistance, and the Longines Caliber L888 automatic movement with 72 hours of power reserve. It comes paired to a brown, vintage-style leather strap with a brushed steel pin buckle, though it could just as easily be right at home on a NATO, beads-of-rice, perlon, or other strap. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIf what you’re searching for is a dive watch that doesn’t look like everybody else’s, you’ve come to the right place!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DI6Ufb\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv lang=\"en-US\" data-md=\"25\" data-attrid=\"kc:\/business\/business_operation:founded\" class=\"NFQFxe viOShc LKPcQc EfDVh mod\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-ved=\"2ahUKEwiVuLna9N7fAhURU98KHboHABwQtwcoADACegQIBBAC\" data-hveid=\"CAQQAg\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\" class=\"HwtpBd gsrt kno-fb-ctx\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yxAsKe\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"LEsW6e\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv lang=\"en-US\" data-md=\"32\" class=\"NFQFxe oHglmf xzPb7d viOShc mod\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-hveid=\"CAQQBA\" id=\"media_result_group\" class=\"kno-mrg-hnm kno-mrg-si kno-mrg kno-swp\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"AX4s9b kno-ibrg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv jsaction=\"ivg_o:RySO6d\" jscontroller=\"IkchZc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-nr=\"1\" class=\"img-brk\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"birrg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-ved=\"2ahUKEwiVuLna9N7fAhURU98KHboHABwQ-x0oADABegQIBBAH\" data-lpage=\"\/imgres?imgurl=http:\/\/wornandwound.com\/library\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Longines_logo.jpg\u0026amp;imgrefurl=https:\/\/wornandwound.com\/182-years-long-meadows-history-longines\/\u0026amp;h=229\u0026amp;w=619\u0026amp;tbnid=_roUiQ7DLdvIKM:\u0026amp;q=when+was+longines+founded\u0026amp;tbnh=73\u0026amp;tbnw=200\u0026amp;usg=AI4_-kRHVERoudyK-ZmA98vKx4M9wic6Cw\u0026amp;vet=1\u0026amp;docid=IYGfgHq1fXC4xM\u0026amp;itg=1\" data-docid=\"_roUiQ7DLdvIKM:\" class=\"iukp1 kno-fb-ctx img-kc-m rg_el ivg-i\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Longines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39666240946263,"sku":"40990372","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/AS05710_40990372_LONGINES_LEGENDDIVERDATE_L3.674.4-6.jpg?v=1647884462","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/longines-legend-diver-date-as05710","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
