The Longines Legend Diver 7494 Cal.290 is a highly coveted piece among watch collectors, particularly for its distinctive vintage character and limited production.

The unique transformation of the black mirror dial to brown is indicative of its age and adds a layer of complexity that collectors appreciate.

As an established Swiss manufacturer known for quality craftsmanship, Longines stands as a prestigious brand, making this particular model a desirable find in Japan’s well-curated luxury watch market.

Its inclusion of original components, such as the special bracelet and leather strap, further enhances its collectability, especially given the current bid positioning it competitively within the realm of vintage diving watches.
