A Journey through Time: From the Past to the Present
Longines is renowned for its horological innovations, and the HydroConquest GMT is a testament to this legacy. This latest addition introduces a GMT complication to the emblematic HydroConquest collection, a feat never before seen since its inception in 2007. The GMT function enables the simultaneous display of time in two different time zones, a practical feature for globetrotters and a nod to Longines’ rich heritage.In fact, Longines can proudly claim to have pioneered this concept on a wristwatch as far back as 1925, solidifying its reputation as a trailblazer in horological history. With the HydroConquest GMT, this tradition continues to evolve and adapt to the modern world.

It seamlessly combines the functionality of a GMT complication with the rugged allure of underwater sports, a fusion that caters to the needs of today’s explorers.This new generation of HydroConquest watches boasts a 41mm stainless-steel case with a screw-down case back. Inside, you’ll find the exclusive Longines GMT calibre, featuring a silicon balance-spring and innovative non-magnetic components. This movement sets new standards by being ten times more resistant to magnetic fields than the ISO 764 benchmark standard. Furthermore, it offers exceptional precision and a remarkable power reserve of up to 72 hours, ensuring it’s ready for your next adventure.
Aesthetic Elegance and Technical Mastery
Longines has spared no effort in combining retro-inspired design with cutting-edge technology.

The alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces add a touch of sophistication and elegance to these timepieces.The HydroConquest GMT offers a variety of dial colors – green, brown, black, and blue sunray dials – all enhanced by a two-tone 24-hour scale. The gilt or silvered polished hands and hour-markers are coated with Super-LumiNova®, ensuring legibility in any environment. Distinctive triangular markers at 12 o’clock, round markers at 6 and 9 o’clock, and a convenient date window at 3 o’clock complete the dial’s design. The GMT indicator, shaped like an arrow, matches the dial’s color, adding an extra layer of visual appeal.
