Cassa in acciaio da 42 mm Lancette originali Corona originale Rehaut originale Movimento automatico Longines 290 interno ANALISI La storia degli orologi subacquei \u00e8 ricca di scoperte e brevetti; \u00e8 piena di sforzi tecnici e tecnologici per spingere l'uomo oltre i limiti delle profondit\u00e0 oceaniche. In questo scenario, Longines ha lasciato un segno puntuale. Dopo aver lanciato il \"Nautilus\" Skin Diver nel 1958 (ref. 6921), che sperimentava la cassa a compressore brevettata da Ervin Piquerez, l'anno successivo la Maison era pronta a lanciare l'orologio subacqueo che ha dato vita al design unico e riconoscibile del \"Legend Diver\". La referenza 7042 del 1959\/1960, con la sua cassa Super Compressor, le sue due corone e il suo rehaut interno, ha dato il via a una nuova era di orologi subacquei. Il discendente naturale di quell'orologio, la referenza 7594, ha aumentato il diametro a 42 mm e ha rafforzato le due corone per spingere l'orologio a una profondit\u00e0 di 200 metri. Il quadrante di questo splendido orologio \u00e8 nero opaco con finitura dorata. I caratteri dei numeri arabi al 3, 6, 9 e 12 sono immediatamente riconoscibili e richiamano subito alla mente questo iconico orologio subacqueo. Gli indici rettangolari presentano splendide applicazioni in pasta luminescenti color avorio. Il quadrante \u00e8 circondato da un caratteristico anello della lunetta bidirezionale, azionato dalla corona. Le lancette hanno una forma particolare, soprattutto l'indicatore delle ore a forma di freccia, che presenta un incavo sulla punta per la pasta luminescente. La cassa in acciaio inossidabile \u00e8 in perfette condizioni, nonostante sia stata completamente usata e utilizzata per lo scopo per cui questo orologio \u00e8 stato progettato. \u00c8 solida e robusta, poich\u00e9 il brevetto Super Compressor di Piquerez prevedeva un sistema che sfruttava l'aumento della pressione dell'acqua in relazione alla profondit\u00e0 per stringere il fondello al corpo della cassa, garantendo l'impermeabilit\u00e0 dell'orologio. Il fondello presenta un caratteristico design subacqueo, mentre le due corone sovradimensionate sporgono dal lato destro della cassa, la cui parte superiore \u00e8 tipicamente caratterizzata da linee che si intersecano (anche questo dettaglio \u00e8 caratteristico dei Super Compressori). Ad alimentare questa icona degli orologi subacquei di tutti i tempi \u00e8 il calibro 290 di manifattura Longines: si tratta di un calibro automatico con rotore bidirezionale prodotto da Longines dal 1960, con 24 rubini, una frequenza di 19.800 vph e una riserva di carica di 45 ore.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/longines-legend-diver-super-compressor-ref-7594-3\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"it-IT","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/longines-legend-diver-super-compressor-ref-7594-3\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"it-IT","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/longines-legend-diver-super-compressor-ref-7594-3\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LONGINES-LEGEND-DIVER-SUPER-COMPRESSOR_1_1.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LONGINES-LEGEND-DIVER-SUPER-COMPRESSOR_1_1.jpg","width":2013,"height":2013},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/longines-legend-diver-super-compressor-ref-7594-3\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Shop","item":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/negozio\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Longines &#8220;Legend Diver&#8221; Super Compressor Ref. 7594-3 In-House Self-Winding Movement 290 From the Mid-1960s"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/","name":"Il Vintageur","description":"La vostra collezione di orologi su misura","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"it-IT"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#organization","name":"Il Vintageur","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"it-IT","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/logo-dark.svg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/logo-dark.svg","width":392,"height":28,"caption":"The Vintageur"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vintageur\/"]}]},"product_price_amount":"9500.00","product_price_currency":"EUR","og_availability":"instock","product_availability":"instock","product_retailer_item_id":"122","product_condition":"new"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/3197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3197"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/3197\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":63652,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/3197\/revisions\/63652"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=3197"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=3197"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=3197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
