The history of Longines diving watches can be traced back to the mid-20th century. In 1958, Longines introduced a dive watch designed for underwater exploration. This watch quickly gained recognition among professional divers and enthusiasts for its robust construction and water-resistant capabilities. In the 1960s, Longines released a series of diving watches which served as a precursor to the Legend Diver.
