Design
Belonging to the HydroConquest range, the L3.690.4.03.6 model is a sporty men’s watch that combines both sophistication and technical innovation in its construction. Featuring a 41mm stainless steel case, this classic timepiece comes fitted with a solid unidirectional turning bezel, and a screw-in crown design for a long usage life. A scratch-resistant and anti-reflection treated sapphire crystal lens is another design element that serves to extend its lifespan and shield it against accidental bumps and grazes. To ensure that the watch provides the best in readability, even during low light conditions, its finely polished silver hands and Arabic numeral hour-markers come brushed with the luminescent marker, Super-LumiNova. For precise and reliable chronograph reading, this Longines timepiece features an hour counter at the tenth hour, a 1/10th seconds counter at the second hour, and a minute and central seconds’ counter. Besides the chronograph counters, a small seconds counter also makes its presence felt at the 6 o’clock position. In addition to its chronograph functions, its date display aperture at the fourth hour provides the watch with greater utility as well. The watch’s band, made of the same metal, sports a double security foldable clinch alongside an integrated diving extension.

Features
For an efficient timekeeping performance and quartz movement, this chronograph watch runs on Longines L541 calibre. It is water-resistant to a depth of approximately 300m, and has been designed to withstand water contact incurred during water sports like snorkelling, swimming or even normal activities like car-washing. Whether one uses it to record lapsed time or otherwise, this Longines creation is a truly performance-driven timepiece.
