c.2018 Longines Heritage Skin Diver L2.822.4.56.6 Steel 42mm Black Dial Rubber Strap Aftermarket

Info

The Longines Heritage Skin Diver, reference L2.822.4.56.6, is one of the most captivating tributes by the Saint-Imier Maison to its own past. Directly inspired by the legendary 1959 Skin Diver, the first diving watch produced by Longines, this model revives the vintage aesthetics of the pioneers of underwater exploration with a modern language and contemporary performance.

The 42 mm stainless steel case combines robust yet balanced proportions, designed to offer both comfort and presence on the wrist. The unidirectional rotating bezel with a matte black insert features vintage-inspired yellow indexes and numerals, perfectly harmonized with the textured black dial where large indexes, Arabic numerals, and hands with matching beige Super-LumiNova evoke the elegance of 1950s professional instruments. The result is a timepiece with strong personality and immediate legibility, even in low-light conditions.

At its heart beats the automatic Longines caliber L888.2, based on the ETA A31.L01, providing a power reserve of approximately 64 hours. A reliable and modern movement that ensures precision, durability, and performance, confirming this model’s vocation as a diver with vintage spirit and contemporary qualities.

With water resistance up to 300 meters, the Longines Heritage Skin Diver L2.822.4.56.6 is not only a tribute to the brand’s history but also a versatile companion for everyday life, combining style, functionality, and the timeless charm of watchmaking icons.
