Product Information

Full details

Designed for those who appreciate Swiss engineering, this watch excels as both a professional-grade diving tool and a sophisticated daily wearer. While its self-winding movement offers impressive longevity, it requires consistent wear or a watch winder to ensure the 72-hour power reserve remains fully charged for accurate timekeeping.

FAQs

Is the Longines HydroConquest safe for scuba diving?

Yes, with a water resistance rating of 300 meters, it is fully capable of handling scuba diving and other water sports.

Does the watch need a battery?

No, this is a self-winding mechanical watch that uses the movement of your wrist to store energy.

How often should I service my watch?

Longines recommends a professional service every 3 to 5 years to maintain the performance of the mechanical movement.

Can I replace the bracelet with a rubber strap?

Yes, the HydroConquest is compatible with various aftermarket straps as long as you match the lug width of the 39mm model.

Is the bezel ceramic or steel?

The bezel on this model is designed for durability; check the specific product specifications for the exact material composition of your production year.

Troubleshooting

The watch has stopped running

If the watch has not been worn for more than 72 hours, gently wind the crown 20-30 times in the first position to jump-start the automatic movement.

Date is changing at noon instead of midnight

Advance the time forward by 12 hours. The watch operates on a 24-hour cycle, so it may be set to PM instead of AM.

Condensation visible under the crystal

The water-resistant seal may be compromised. Stop using the watch immediately and take it to an authorized service center for a seal replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time and date, unscrew the crown until it pops into the first position. Pull it to the second position to adjust the time, and the first position to adjust the date. Always ensure the crown is pushed back in and screwed down tightly after adjustments to maintain the 300m water resistance seal.

Care instructions involve rinsing the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated pool water to prevent mineral buildup. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents on the stainless steel or sapphire crystal. For long-term maintenance, it is recommended to have the watch inspected by an authorized Longines technician every 3 to 5 years to ensure the movement is lubricated and the gaskets remain waterproof.
