Diving into Elegance: Longines Unveils HydroConquest Collection in Singapore with Aaron Kwok. In a dazzling event held at the rooftop of The Fullerton Bay Hotel in Singapore, Longines took the spotlight as it showcased its HydroConquest collection. The iconic sports line’s latest models, featuring vibrant ceramic bezel inserts, were unveiled in the presence of the charismatic Longines Ambassador of Elegance, Aaron Kwok.
Inspired by the exhilarating world of water sports, the HydroConquest collection seamlessly blends technical excellence and traditional elegance – two hallmarks that define Longines. The stunning backdrop of The Fullerton Bay Hotel, with its panoramic views of the sea and Marina Bay Sands Hotel, perfectly accentuated the aquatic spirit of the HydroConquest collection.
A significant upgrade to the new HydroConquest models is the addition of a colored ceramic insert on the bezel, a highly technical and scratch-resistant material that enhances the sporty, modern character of these timepieces. Designed for scuba diving enthusiasts, these watches boast water-resistance up to 300 meters, a unidirectional rotating bezel, screw-down crown and case back, crown protection, and a double security folding clasp with an integrated diving extension.
Walter von Känel, President of Longines, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “The demand for sports watches, especially diving styles, has increased significantly in recent years. We are delighted to introduce our new HydroConquest models with ceramic, appealing to dynamic individuals seeking distinctive, contemporary timepieces.”
Aaron Kwok, who attended the event after gracing the opening of the new Longines Boutique in Marina Bay Sands, shared his thoughts on the HydroConquest models. “As a watch lover, I really appreciate the bezel’s ceramic insert. These watches have a sporty silhouette and an elegant style, making them suitable for daily wear and appropriate for all occasions. The new HydroConquest models’ fresh look complements all attire.”
Available in blue, black, or grey, the HydroConquest models offer versatility to water sports enthusiasts. The ceramic insert on the bezel, matching dial, and rubber strap add a touch of vibrancy, while the metal version boasts a polished and brushed steel finish. With sizes ranging from 41mm to 43mm, the HydroConquest timepieces come with the choice of three hands and a calendar or a chronograph.
