Longines Legend Diver

The watch of the month for January 2018 is the Longines Legend automatic Super Compressor diver from the Heritage line. Longines has a long and rich history of creating swiss timepieces. Some may say they fell off a while back, or dropped a tier down. Their newer heritage recreation line is definitely putting them back on the map in the swiss watchmaking industry and these watches are gaining popularity by the day. My favorite model is the classic Legend diver. It is a modern creation of their vintage super compressor ( pictured below ) and I had the opportunity to wear one and play with it for a week or so and I was impressed. It does have quite a long lug to lug measurement for the 42MM case it is housed in so that is something to take into consideration prior to actually buying one.
