Following the viral success of the HydroConquest last month, Longines wasted no time releasing another variant just one month later.

The Hydroconquest 2026 Commonwealth Games Limited Edition takes a cue from its sibling Omega’s Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M “Turquoise” which costs $7,800.

Both are dive watches, and both have a turquoise/teal gradient dial, but the movements, cases, indices, hands, and brands are completely different.

Like before, this is available in both the 39 mm and 42 mm stainless steel case options, however, Longines gave the watch a tapered black rubber strap, with a premium stainless steel folding deployant clasp that features a micro-adjustment.

Measuring either 39 mm x 11.7 (Ref. L3.779.4.09.9) and weighing 114 gram or 42 mm x 11.7 mm (Ref. L3.788.4.09.9) and weighing 127 grams Longines is again offering a dive watch in two popular sizes, setting itself up to likely sell a bunch of these.

Powered by ETA-based caliber L888.5 which is a 3.5Hz automatic movement with silicon balance spring and 72-hour power reserve.

With warm weather already here, and summer approaching fast, this seasonal limited edition arrives at an ideal time.

Longines does not include a steel bracelet with the limited edition but still hits you with a retail of $2,400.
