The Longines HydroConquest line is designed for diving and watersports. Its salient features are the underwater functional and safety devices. All variations are fitted with a unidirectional turning bezel (an essential safety device for divers), as well as lateral protection for the crown. Hands and indices on the dial have been coated with superluminova luminescence for clear readings in all conditions. Dials are available in a range of colours including ocean blue, abyss black, white, and white mother-of-pearl. Watches have a round case in steel and a rubber strap with a double security buckle. Automatic and quartz versions are available.

The Conquest is a rather more stylish version of the HydroConquest, and serves as an example of Longines' ideal to combine performance watches with elegance. The aesthetic focus is placed on the fixed bezel and cabochon which is made of ceramic (black or white), which is well-known for its hardness and resistance to abrasion and high temperatures. Another version with a stainless steel bezel is also available, and there is one further addition for women which features a bezel set with diamonds. The watch is available in four sizes. Variations include automatic and quartz chronographs, an automatic model with three hands, and a ladies' quartz with three hands.
