1966 Longines Diver ref. 7494 with extract

This vintage Longines diver is one of the best dive watch produced in our opinion, and certainly the best in a dual-crown supercompressor case. It is not only very appealing, but very contemporary, especially in this bold 42mm case.

This version, under the reference 7494, is among the last series with a glossy black dial and features a nicely aged luminous material. A bold watch, yet surprisingly easy to wear.

According to Longines Heritage Department, it was invoiced on 1966 to Binda, then Longines distributor in Italy.
