Horological Meandering

At a reputable dealer i recently saw a longines legend diver in rose gold with date, didn't know it existed - looked great. Has anyone else come across this version of the model? Thanks.

Here are some photos i took at my local AD (in the Netherlands) where i went to make some photos of the Longines Legend Diver, for a story on my website. When i was there he showed me the rose gold version of the new Legend Diver with date... this is the ...  

Very curious to see these Longines Divers with the date... In pics, the Gold Diver is nice, indeed. I think I prefer the purity of the previous model, without date, but, as always, to be seen in the lfesh! Thanks for these pics! Best, Nicolas

But after seeing it in the metal i really think the date is no 'disgrace' to the beautiful dial. On photos it might be a distinct difference, since the date seems very present. But when it's on the wrist it just seems to fit in very good... and at the off...

Does this have the same movement in both the simple version and the date version?

Longines hasn't release a press lease as far as i know, but i suspect both movements to be ETA 2892-A2 and maybe on the no date version the date function was removed. But this is just guessing...
