HYDROCONQUEST — the Official Watch of the 2026 Longines EEF Series in Budapest
During the 2026 Longines EEF Series in Budapest, the Swiss watch brand Longines is proud to present a model from the redesigned HydroConquest collection. Building on nearly two centuries of excellence in Swiss watchmaking, the new generation blends contemporary aesthetics with proven performance, embracing bold refinement for every pursuit. Four new dial variations and five striking ceramic bezel colours are complemented by a newly introduced Milanese mesh bracelet.
Since its introduction in 2007, the HydroConquest collection has embodied Longines’ distinctive approach to watchmaking, combining robust functionality with the understated elegance that defines the brand. Drawing inspiration from maritime adventure while maintaining refined design principles, these timepieces have established themselves as sporty companions that transition seamlessly from active pursuits to elegant occasions.
The reimagined HydroConquest line features automatic models in two versatile sizes. The 39-mm and 42-mm stainless-steel cases deliver contemporary proportions that balance presence with wearability. Five ceramic bezel colours frame these dials: classic black, blue and slate grey are joined by two vibrant new shades – verdant green and luminous blue. With a screw-in crown and robust construction, these timepieces offer a water resistance of up to 30 bar (300 metres).
At the heart of each watch beats an exclusive Longines automatic calibre, a self-winding mechanical movement featuring a silicon balance-spring and innovative components that deliver exceptional precision, making it up to ten times more resistant to magnetic fields than ISO 764 standards require. With a power reserve of up to 72 hours, this movement exemplifies Longines’ dedication to both performance and reliability.
Marking a significant innovation for the collection, three additional references debut on Milanese mesh bracelets crafted from high-quality stainless steel, featuring a full-brushed finishing with polished sides, thus completing the sophisticated explorer aesthetic that bridges heritage and modernity.
