thanks. i agree. I always loved these compression diver looking watches. my all time favorite is the white dialed Hamilton h775151...which i have and still wear but was time for a newer updated version. this longines has much better specs. 39mm which is about perfect size for my wrist. cosc movement. 300m wr and fully rated and certified for the iso6425 dive watches standards. a lot to like on it.

It's basically a more modern "Turtle" however due to these versions having a compass bezel instead of the dive bezel, the "Land" versions were dubbed "Tortoise."
The original Turtle that started it all was the 6309-7049:

The Tudor that got me hooked on Tudor. I bought this Heritage Ranger back in 2017. It came on the original Tudor camo nato band, which is a huge part of the reason I got big eyes for it. That plus the giant clean dial with the broad arrow hour hand and red seconds hand. And the chunky crown with that sweet rose stamp to match the rose on the dial. Strap change to a funky exotic made by a cool indie watch company called Treiber.
