What makes this timepiece exceptional

The case, designed by Piquerez, is fitted with a system that increases the resistance of the case as pressure increases, giving the watch a 120 m waterproof rating. To counter the wear and tear caused by the bakelite rotating bezels previously used on its diving watches, Longines decided to fit the dial of reference 7042 with a rotating bezel positioned inside the dial, an element taken from certain early twentieth-century aviator's watches. These two elements give the Super Compressor a distinctive appearance and an important place in the history of diver's watches.
