History

Longines introduced the HydroConquest in 2007 as its modern dive-watch proposal, aesthetically derived from the Conquest line — registered as a collection in 1954 — but with a unidirectional bezel graduated to 60 minutes and a more pronounced tool-watch vocation, meant as a contemporary alternative to heritage models like the Legend Diver, already in Cazador's catalog.

In 2026, Longines unveiled a full overhaul of the collection: a redesigned case in two sizes (39 and 42mm), a ceramic bezel available in five colors, a less prominent crown guard, and, for the first time in the line, an H-link bracelet inherited from the HydroConquest GMT, with a tool-less micro-adjust system.

The L3.788.4.56.6 runs the L888.5 caliber, an automatic movement based on the ETA 2892 built exclusively for Longines, with a silicon hairspring resistant to magnetic fields and 72 hours of power reserve, an improvement over earlier HydroConquest generations. It retains the 300 meters of water resistance that has characterized the line since 2007.
