The L888 calibre family, which powers this reference, is Longines' own-developed answer to the ETA 2892 standard: a movement that incorporates a monocrystalline silicon balance spring for improved magnetic resistance and long-term rate stability, achieving COSC chronometer certification in its specification tier, with 72 hours of power reserve that leaves almost all comparable sport watches well behind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe blue-on-blue configuration, polished lacquered blue dial against a blue ceramic unidirectional bezel, is the most coherent colour expression in the HydroConquest's current range. The ceramic bezel insert is scratch-resistant and colour-stable in a way that aluminium inserts are not, and the deep blue against the lacquered dial creates a cohesive tonal statement that is simultaneously refined and unmistakably purposeful. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both surfaces, the screw-in crown, and 300-metre water resistance confirm the technical specification. At 42mm on the full-width steel bracelet with its micro-adjustment folding clasp, this reads as the professional diver at exactly the right scale.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1247\"\u003eWHAT’S INSIDE:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1590\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLongines Calibre L888.5, self-winding automatic, 25,200 vph, monocrystalline silicon balance spring, COSC-level accuracy standard, 72-hour power reserve.
