A Discussion around the Longines Legend Diver (LLD) and its latest shift to 39mm. A watch that has been in their collection for the best part of 15 years and finally appears to have been perfected. For the longest time this watch has been 42mm in diameter, with a long lug length of 52.4mm. The latest release aims to remedy all of this with 39 x 12.7 x 47 proportions, COSC Certified with a 72hr PR. Truly a piece that aims to leave no stone unturned.
