Design
The Longines HydroConquest L3.690.4.53.2 for men strikes a fine balance between technical innovation and luxurious appealing designs. Stainless steel is used in the making of the bezel and case for this time piece. A black toned uni-directional rotating bezel complements a black lacquered finished dial, which is inlaid with luminous Arabic numerals that act as the hour indexes of the time piece. Silver toned luminous hour and minute hands along with a silver second’s arm add to the stylish and appealing appearance of the watch. The strap of this watch is made of genuine black rubber held by a folding clasp, which offers excellent comfort and durability to the wearer. Scratch resistant sapphire crystal used as the case window protects the timepiece from scrapes and other frictional wear offs.
