Longines Legend Diver

Longines Legend Diver

Hamtramck Fire Department, photographed at a house fire in Detroit, wearing a Longines Legend Diver. He is driving the engine that day. They run auto aid with Detroit Fire, so the two departments turn out to each other's fires. Driving is its own trade. Everyone else gets off the rig and goes to work. The driver stays with it and makes sure the water never stops. What is on your wrist when you are the one driving? If you have a wrist shot from somewhere that matters, submit at the link in bio.

Intel Report

Longines Legend Diver The Legend Diver is a faithful revival of a Longines skin diver from the late 1950s, and it keeps the era's cleverest feature: no external bezel. The timing ring sits under the crystal and is turned by a second crown, the super compressor layout, which keeps the bezel from being knocked mid dive. Longines was a serious instrument maker long before it was a familiar mall name; its chronographs timed aviation records and Olympic finishes. The Legend Diver is the piece that reminds people of that. It is the rare heritage reissue where the original was genuinely worth reissuing.
