Staggeringly beautiful full-sized diver watch in a gorgeous shade of azure blue. This is the quartz version which I have deliberately chosen over the automatic version as I already have two automatic chronometers (which require daily monitoring and deep TLC) and I wanted a relatively maintenance-free experience with my new watch. This Longines Hydroconquest has not disappointed at all - it keeps perfect time and it remains comfortable on the wrist even when worn continuously for 24 hours. Sadly I have not had the opportunity to test its competence under 300m of water, nor am I likely to, but I would have no worries at all wearing this watch in water if I had to - it's what it's designed and built for after all. Out of the water the dial markings are super-legible and the bright blue face banishes the dimness common with black-dialed versions of (dive and GMT) watches with built-up bezels. Also there is the necessary high contrast of the silver hands against the blue face while the minute hand reaches satisfyingly out and into the minute markers - all superb. Even the (not really necessary on a dive watch) date window is given improved visibility by the contrasting white background. The unidirectional bezel works perfectly, with satisfying clicks (120 I think) and is easier to use than others I've tried. Nice bracelet too - as solid as the watch deserves, yet comfortable - I had to remove four links for my seven inch wrists and there is the additional utility of a micro-adjuster in the clasp. Finally, this watch really does glow in the dark - impressively. Beyond that, the service from FCW was excellent - a big thanks to them.
