super-compressor dive watch
Apr 5, 2020
WATCH CHRONICLER
In this video, I present a review of the Longines Legend Diver - a real veteran of the Longines catalogue. This Swiss-made super-compressor dive watch was one of the very first vintage-inspired watches on the market in 2007 and remains a popular choice. Today, I show you how it has changed over the years and whether it remains the stunning, exquisitely made watch which it once was.
