Longines, a Swiss watch brand with over 190 years of history, will open the "Longines Omotesando Pop-up ~HydroConquest Concept Store~" from Saturday, June 6, 2026, to Wednesday, August 26, 2026. To commemorate this, the limited edition model "HydroConquest Commonwealth Games" from the "HydroConquest" collection, whose new generation models are attracting global attention, will be pre-released in Japan starting on the opening day, Saturday, June 6.

This limited edition model is the official watch of "Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2026" (from Thursday, July 23 to Sunday, August 2, 2026), one of the world's largest multi-sport events, for which Longines serves as the Official Timekeeper and Official Partner. Based on the popular new generation model, each size (39mm/42mm) will be limited to 2,026 pieces worldwide. It features a beautiful lacquered dial with a gradient from vibrant teal (bluish-green), inspired by the vivid colors of the Games, to black.

At the "Longines Omotesando Pop-up ~HydroConquest Concept Store~", the entire lineup of new generation models will be gathered, including the "HydroConquest Commonwealth Games" and direct-store exclusive models featuring an impressive frosted blue dial. You can fully immerse yourself in the world of the "HydroConquest" collection in a space inspired by a campaign filmed against the backdrop of a dramatic volcanic coast.

A Striking Diver's Watch with Eye-Catching Colors

Since its launch in 2007, the "HydroConquest" collection has been cherished as Longines' authentic diver's watch. The collection was revamped in 2026, adopting a dial design inspired by the 1992 "Admiral Diver" model. It has further enhanced its global reputation through its excellent performance and the rich variations created by its bezel, dial, and bracelet.

The limited edition model "HydroConquest Commonwealth Games," born from the new generation model, is inspired by the vibrant teal, violet, and pink color scheme of the Games' logo. The gradient lacquered dial transitions from a vivid teal to a deep black, creating an impressive sense of depth. The word "HYDROCONQUEST" is rendered in violet, paying homage to the dynamic identity of the Games. The tip of the seconds hand is pink, completing the beautiful three-color composition. Rhodium-colored hands and applied indices coated with Super-LumiNova® ensure excellent readability in all conditions. The black ceramic bezel insert features teal-colored numbers that unify the design, and a Super-LumiNova®-filled capsule at the 0 position provides reliable visibility even in the dark.

Matching this timepiece, designed with active performance in mind, is a high-quality black rubber strap made in Switzerland, offering comfort, durability, and a light fit. A double safety folding clasp with a micro-adjustment mechanism ensures a secure and personalized fit in any environment.

A Commemorative Timepiece

Limited to only 2,026 pieces worldwide for each size, the screw-down case back of the "HydroConquest Commonwealth Games" features the official logo of "Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2026" and the engraving "LIMITED EDITION – ONE OF 2026." In addition to its iconic style embodying sporty elegance, it is a commemorative timepiece for a prestigious sporting event.

Fusion of Precision and Durability

The round stainless steel cases, 39mm and 42mm in diameter, feature sapphire crystals with multi-layered anti-reflective coating on both sides and screw-down crowns, providing water resistance up to 30 bar (300 meters). At its heart, it is equipped with the Longines Exclusive Caliber L888.5. This self-winding mechanical movement, featuring a silicon balance spring, ensures high precision and a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. Its anti-magnetic performance, significantly exceeding the ISO 764 standard, guarantees stable performance even in various everyday magnetic environments.
