Introducing: The New Longines HydroConquest GMT Collection
Launched in 2007, the HydroConquest is Longines' answer to a contemporary dive watch with all the features of a resilient 300m water-resistant diving instrument at an accessible price.

In 1962, on the 5th of October to be precise, the world discovered a character that will become a legend of the silver screen. Adapted from the 1958 novel of the same name by Ian Fleming, Dr. No will start an emblematic series of 25 movies featuring a British secret agent working for MI6 under the codename 007, James Bond. 60 years later, the impact of the series is undeniable.
