In the 9th year of the competition, the Longines Legend Diver watch was awarded the Jury Special Prize 2007 for Men's sports watches, by the prestigious French watch magazine La Revue des Montres magazine in Paris. The jury was composed of leading French retailers, watchmaking enthusiasts and collectors, and journalists. The retro-look diving watch, based on a 1960s time piece, was the unanimous choice of the jury in this category.
The Admiral series evokes the prestigious dimension of sport in which aesthetics, precision and the beauty of the action predominate. It introduces the subtle ambivalence of an outline that is both sober and robust, and perfectly illustrates Longines' innate ability to match elegance and performance. Values revealed by the aesthetic purity and detailed manufacture of the automatic watches and chronographs of this series.
