The Longines LEGEND DIVER 42 BLACK LACQUERED (ref. L3.774.2.50.9) is an automatic diver watch, with a 42mm stainless steel case, 12.7mm thick, powered by the L888.5 movement and a 72-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 300m, under a sapphire crystal. Manufacturer MSRP is $3,200.
Owners widely praise the Longines LEGEND DIVER 42 BLACK LACQUERED for its retro design and versatility, with some noting it wears smaller than its dimensions suggest and its crystal height contributes to a perceived thinness. However, the 50mm lug-to-lug length is a point of contention, with some finding it a drawback while others report it fits flush on larger wrists and curves well on smaller ones. The clasp is reported to scratch easily, and some owners note dust can collect on the dial, while the lume is considered not strong and the bracelet lacks end links. Overall, owners value the Longines LEGEND DIVER 42 BLACK LACQUERED for its appealing vintage aesthetic and comfortable wearability, despite some practical concerns regarding the clasp and dial.
