Longines dives into the HydroConquest universe during a special event in Singapore attended by Aaron Kwok

Singapore (Singapore) / Saint-Imier (Switzerland), 18 February 2019 – #longines spotlighted its #hydroconquest collection during a special #Event held in #Singapore. The Swiss watch brand introduced the iconic sports line’s newest models, which feature a colored ceramic insert on the bezel. The #Event, which was attended by #longines Ambassador of Elegance #aaronkwok, took place on the rooftop of The Fullerton Bay Hotel: a magnificent setting that perfectly accentuated the #hydroconquest collection’s aquatic spirit.

Drawing its inspiration from the fascinating world of water sports, the #hydroconquest collection combines technical #excellence and traditional elegance, both distinguishing hallmarks of #longines. The Swiss watch brand chose the rooftop of The Fullerton Bay Hotel in #Singapore, with its breathtaking views of the sea and the famous Marina Bay Sands Hotel, to present the emblematic sports line’s new models, which preserve the traditional style of diving watches.


A coloured ceramic insert has been added to the bezel of the new #hydroconquest models. This highly technical and scratch-resistant material enhances the sporty, modern character of the watches. The #hydroconquest collection is inspired by the unique requirements of scuba diving and features water-resistance to 300 metres, a unidirectional rotating bezel, a screw-down crown and case back, crown protection and a double security folding clasp with integrated diving extension.


The demand for sports watches, and especially for diving style watches, has increased significantly these past few years,” explains Walter von Känel, President of #longines. “We are delighted to introduce our new #hydroconquest models with ceramic, as these watches will appeal to dynamic individuals looking for distinctive, contemporary timepieces.”

After making an appearance at the opening of the new #longines Boutique in Marina Bay Sands, #longines Ambassador of Elegance #aaronkwok attended the #hydroconquest #Event. The multi-talented artist shared his opinion of the new #hydroconquest models. “As a watch lover, I really appreciate the bezel’s ceramic insert. These watches have a sporty silhouette and an elegant style, making them suitable for daily wear and appropriate for all occasions. The new #hydroconquest models’ fresh look complements all attire”


Besides the current collection with an aluminum insert on the bezel, the new #hydroconquest models’ ceramic insert is available in several colors to adorn the wrists of all water sports enthusiasts. These models come in blue, black or grey, with a dial that matches the bezel’s ceramic insert and rubber strap, while the metal version combines polished and brushed steel for a truly impressive finish. Available in two sizes (41 mm and 43 mm), these #hydroconquest timepieces offer the choice of three hands and a calendar or a chronograph.
