Longines Legend diver in bronze & green dial
Apr 17, 2021,16:36 PM
Just arrived yesterday, after a 3-month wait.
The bronze case has a great pinkish tone. I wish it would never patinate!
Oh, that tall crystal!
I had wanted a bronze watch for awhile, and this seemed a good opportunity, since I like the Legend’s visual design. The green dial is a gradient, dark even in sunlight, and quite subtle. Very nicely done.
The dark brown leather strap complements the watch, and a green NATO strap and a spring bar tool are included, as well.
DISLIKE: Longines, why didn’t you use quick-release pins on the spring bars? Or even have small cutouts on the strap to give easy access to detach the spring bars? You included TWO straps and a tool to change them, but you didn’t take the obvious steps to make strap changing easier. This is 2021, not 1960, and I don’t understand why so few manufactures allow for easy strap changing.
But aside from that issue, the watch is a hit for me.
