Description
This pre-owned Longines Legend Diver reference L3.374.4.50.0 captures the spirit of 1960s dive watches with a round 42mm stainless steel case, glossy black dial, and vintage-inspired luminous markers. The automatic movement powers this robust timepiece, designed for those who appreciate heritage dive aesthetics paired with modern Swiss precision.
The black dial features bold hour markers with faux-patina luminous fill, a date window at 3 o'clock, and the iconic shield logo positioned at 6 o'clock. Contrasting against the polished steel case, the black textile strap with beige contrast stitching reinforces the watch's retro-military character. Two oversized screw-down crowns—the upper for time-setting, the lower for internal rotating bezel adjustment—add functional distinctiveness to the case profile.
At Cassims & Co., this Legend Diver represents a collector-grade entry into Swiss dive watch heritage. Its 300-metre water resistance and automatic movement make it a capable daily wearer, while the period-correct design details resonate with enthusiasts of mid-century tool watches. The watch is in good pre-owned condition, showing honest wear consistent with previous use, ready for its next chapter on your wrist.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for diving or swimming?
A: Yes, this Legend Diver offers 300-metre water resistance and was designed as a functional dive watch. The screw-down crowns and sealed case ensure water integrity for recreational diving and swimming.
Q: How does the internal rotating bezel work?
A: The lower crown at 4 o'clock controls the internal rotating bezel, visible beneath the dial. Unscrew it, rotate to set your dive or elapsed time, then screw it down to lock the bezel setting in place.
Q: What is the power reserve of the automatic movement?
A: Longines automatic calibres typically provide approximately 40-48 hours of power reserve when fully wound. The rotor winds the movement through natural wrist motion during daily wear.

A: This watch is in good pre-owned condition with signs of previous wear including minor surface scratches consistent with use. The movement functions correctly and the watch has been quality-checked by our team.

Warranty
- This pre-owned Longines Legend Diver is covered by Cassims & Co.'s 6-month dealer warranty from the date of purchase.
- This is a dealer warranty provided by Cassims & Co., not a manufacturer warranty from Longines.
- The warranty covers the watch movement and mechanical functionality only.
- The warranty does not cover cosmetic wear, scratches, battery (if applicable), strap or bracelet, water damage, or damage resulting from misuse or third-party servicing.
- Any remaining transferable manufacturer warranty, where applicable, applies in addition to this dealer warranty.
- Warranty claims require proof of purchase and must be processed through Cassims & Co. directly.
Care guide
- Avoid operating the screw-down crowns while underwater or when the watch is wet—ensure both crowns are fully tightened before water exposure.
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after saltwater or chlorinated pool exposure to prevent corrosion or residue buildup on seals and case edges.
- Service the automatic movement every 4-5 years to maintain optimal timekeeping accuracy and water resistance integrity.
- If the watch is not worn regularly, wind it manually via the upper crown (unscrewed position, 20-30 turns) to keep the movement lubricated.
- Store the watch away from strong magnetic fields such as speakers, laptop hinges, or magnetic clasps, which can affect movement precision.
- Clean the stainless steel case with a soft cloth; for deeper cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly.
- Inspect the textile strap regularly for fraying or odour; textile straps should be hand-washed gently and air-dried if soiled.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes or direct prolonged sunlight, which can degrade seals and strap materials.
