Press release WHERE PRECISION MEETS PERFORMANCE ON A GLOBAL STAGE Longines proudly reaffirms its enduring commitment to world sport as Official Timekeeper, Official Partner, and Official Watch of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, an international gathering of 3,000 athletes from 74 nations and territories. The Swiss watchmaking house brings its renowned expertise in precision timekeeping to life through advanced technologies, ensuring every performance is measured with absolute accuracy.

Longines unveils a new interpretation of its Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve, reaffirming a legacy defined by heritage, creative spirit and technical excellence. Following the 2024 edition – created to mark the 70th anniversary of the Conquest collection – this new release extends the line's evolution with a sense of natural continuity.

The Longines Global Champions Tour 2026 in Paris took place from 19 to 21 June, bringing together the world's elite show jumping riders in the spectacular setting of the French capital. As Title Partner, Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of the circuit, Longines was once again at the heart of the event. The highlight of the weekend came on Saturday 20 June, when Austrian rider Max Kühner on Eic Up Too Jacco Blue claimed victory in the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix of Paris.

Taking centre stage at Royal Ascot from 16 to 20 June 2026, Longines reaffirmed its status as Official Partner, Official Time Partner and Official Watch of the prestigious event.

Exactly ninety years ago, on 16 June 1936, Longines recieved patent protection for its pioneering flyback chronograph, the Swiss watchmaker's invention that transformed how pilots could measure and manage successive stages of a flight. Setting new standards in professional aviation timekeeping, the mechanism with two independent pushers went on to shape generations of pilot's watches and remains one of the defining achievements in chronograph development.

The winged hourglass brand presents a completely redesigned Longines Master Collection, introducing new models in 30-mm, 34-mm, 39-mm, and 41-mm diameters for both women and men. Powered by state-of-the art automatic calibres, these timepieces celebrate the art of detail through intricate barleycorn patterns, expressive new dials, and newly imagined cases and bracelets – a contemporary expression of the elegance for which Longines has been renowned since 1832.

The Mini DolceVita line welcomes two exceptional new models that bring the craft of gem setting to the forefront. For the first time in the collection, Longines adorns the rectangular dial with 163 diamonds in a captivating snow setting, complemented by radiant mother-of-pearl inserts. A testament to remarkable craftsmanship, these refined jewellery watches are an eloquent expression of contemporary feminity and quiet luxury.

Originally designed for underwater exploration, the Longines Legend Diver is equally at home on land or underwater. With its timeless design and cutting-edge performance, it has been a true icon of watchmaking since 1959. At first glance, it is distinctive because of its two crowns and internal rotating bezel. Invented by Longines, the position of the bezel inside the case protects it from accidental manipulation and shocks that could alter its settings.

Blending timeless heritage with a modern vision, Longines unveils the latest addition to its iconic diving watch collection for 2026. The Legend Diver line welcomes a new heritage-inspired model, paying homage to the brand's celebrated 1959 diving watch while integrating cutting-edge watchmaking performance within a 42-mm stainless-steel case.

As Official Timekeeper and Official Partner of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, Longines stands faithfully behind every athlete, every performance, and behind every emotion they reveal. The Swiss watchmaker celebrates its enduring bond with one of the world's largest multi-sport events by introducing a special edition HydroConquest.
