The Longines Legend Diver is Longines' heritage dive watch, a faithful reissue of a late-1950s Longines super-compressor diver. Its defining trait is an internal rotating dive bezel turned by a second crown, paired with a domed crystal and vintage-toned luminous markers. It comes in steel and bronze, across roughly 36, 39 and 42mm, on mesh, rubber or fabric. It suits buyers wanting a retro skin-diver with a modern movement. La Maison Monaco is an authorized Longines dealer in Canada, with CAD pricing and 0% Flexiti financing on approved credit.
What is the Longines Legend Diver and what makes it different?
The Legend Diver is a modern reissue of a Longines diver from the late 1950s. The original was a super-compressor design, and the reissue keeps that signature layout. Instead of an external timing bezel, it uses an internal rotating bezel controlled by a second crown, so you set elapsed time by turning the inner ring under the glass. A domed crystal and vintage-toned luminous markers complete the skin-diver look. The collection spans steel and bronze cases in roughly 36, 39 and 42mm, with sunray or gradient dials and date or no-date layouts. Strap options include steel mesh, rubber and fabric. The Legend Diver 39 is a popular middle size for wrists that find 42mm large, while the no-date versions give a cleaner dial for buyers who prefer symmetry. Bronze references develop a natural patina over time, which appeals to collectors who want the case to age. Check each listing in the grid for the exact reference, size, dial and strap.
What movement powers the Longines Legend Diver?
The Legend Diver runs the L888 automatic movement. It is a self-winding Swiss caliber with a silicon balance spring, which improves resistance to magnetism and helps long-term timekeeping stability. Power reserve is roughly 72 hours, so the watch can sit unworn over a weekend and still be running when you pick it up. The silicon component and the extended reserve are the main reasons the Legend Diver feels modern despite its vintage exterior. You wind it by wearing it or by turning the main crown, while the second crown operates the internal rotating dive bezel rather than the time. Water resistance is rated for everyday and recreational use, with depth depending on the reference, so confirm the rating on the specific listing. Because the movement is shared across the steel and bronze versions, your choice between references comes down to case material, size, dial colour and strap rather than performance. Each product page in the grid lists the caliber and the full specification for that reference.
How much does the Longines Legend Diver cost in Canada?
Across the references in stock at La Maison Monaco, the Legend Diver generally ranges from about $3,400 to $5,050 CAD.

Steel models on rubber or fabric tend to sit toward the lower part of the range, while bronze references and certain steel-on-mesh configurations sit higher. Date and no-date layouts can also differ slightly in price. These figures are guidance only. Current CAD pricing is shown on each product in the grid, so the listing is always the accurate source.

Frequently asked questions
How much is the Longines Legend Diver in Canada?+
At La Maison Monaco, the Legend Diver generally ranges from about $3,400 to $5,050 CAD, depending on case material, size and strap. Steel models tend toward the lower end, while bronze and certain mesh configurations sit higher. These are guidance figures only.

What size Longines Legend Diver should I choose?+
The Legend Diver comes in roughly 36, 39 and 42mm. Choose 42mm if you want the fuller vintage diver presence and have a larger wrist. The Legend Diver 39 is a balanced middle size that suits most wrists and reads cleanly under a cuff. Smaller 36mm options work well for slimmer wrists or a more discreet fit. Decide between date and no-date layouts based on whether you prefer a date window or full dial symmetry.
Is the Legend Diver steel or bronze, and what is the difference?+
Both are offered. Steel versions stay bright and consistent over time and are easy to live with daily. Bronze references develop a natural patina, so the case darkens and gains character as it ages, which many collectors specifically want. Both share the same L888 automatic movement, internal rotating bezel and vintage styling, so the choice is about appearance and how you want the case to look over the years rather than performance. Check the grid for available materials.
What is the difference between the date and no-date Legend Diver?+
The date version adds a date window on the dial, which is convenient for everyday wear. The no-date Legend Diver removes the window for a cleaner, fully symmetrical dial that stays closer to the late-1950s original. Both use the same L888 automatic movement with a silicon balance spring and roughly 72-hour power reserve, the same internal rotating bezel turned by a second crown, and the same domed crystal. Pick based on whether you value the date display or dial symmetry. Availability is shown in the grid.
