Longines LEGEND DIVERvsYema Skin Diver CMM.20

Owners widely praise the Longines LEGEND DIVER for its faithful retro design, often calling it one of the best vintage reissues, with the 39mm variant lauded for its perfect size and the 42mm for its versatility. The watch is consistently noted as ISO 6425 compliant and powered by the COSC-certified L888.6 movement with a 72-hour power reserve. Reviewers highlight its sophisticated look, clean no-date dial, and the well-made beads-of-rice bracelet, though some owners find the polished center links or overall polished finish dressier than expected for a diver. Owners are split on the 39mm's bracelet, with one finding it too "blingy" and another praising its comfort. The 42mm version's 50mm lug-to-lug measurement is considered long by some, while others find it comfortable. One owner of the 42mm model reported a scratched hour hand after 15 years, and another noted the original leather strap's poor quality.

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Yema Skin Diver CMM.20 for its vintage aesthetic, 39mm-39.5mm case size, and the in-house CMM.20 micro-rotor movement. The watch features a textured cream dial, sharp applied indices, and a satisfyingly over-engineered push-to-turn bi-directional bezel. The fully brushed bracelet with toolless micro-adjust clasp is highlighted as a significant improvement, though some note its extended lug-to-lug may challenge smaller wrists. Accuracy figures range from -3/+7 seconds per day to erratic results between 0 and -10 seconds per day, with a 70-hour power reserve. Some owners express concerns about the brand's QC reputation and the micro-rotor movement's performance, while one reviewer noted questionable finishing on a prototype's hour hand and a rattly clasp. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Yema Skin Diver CMM.20 highly for its vintage styling and improved bracelet at the price.
