Steel, gold, diamonds: the colorful world of Longines Conquest

Since 1832, the Longines workshop has been located in the Swiss town of Saint-Imier, where the brand has been operating for almost two centuries, respecting tradition and idealizing elegance. Continuity is a very important quality in the world of watchmaking, as it is one thing to achieve popularity for a brand, but quite another to maintain it for decades. Today, the brand known for its winged hourglass symbol is present in more than 150 countries and has close ties to the world of sports, especially equestrian sports.

An important part of Longines' prestigious heritage is the Conquest collection. Longines registered the name Conquest in 1954, making it the brand's first legally protected collection. From the outset, Conquest watches have retained their original spirit, successfully combining timeless design, cutting-edge technology and sporty elegance. Longines considers one of its greatest values to be its commitment to ensuring that every watch that leaves the brand's workshop represents timeless elegance.

Longines is opening a new chapter in the Conquest story, expanding the collection with new models. The new additions to the series emphasize contemporary design and the ergonomics and comfort expected by today's wearers.

The collection also includes several watches with a diameter of 30 millimeters. These watches are made of stainless steel and feature an 18-carat rose gold coating on the bezel and crown. The model with a deep green sunray-textured dial stands out, with rose gold-coated indices that perfectly harmonize with the rose gold tone used on the bezel. When we mention sunray texture, we are referring to a surface treatment method that consists of straight lines radiating outwards from the center of the watch dial.

Equally attractive is the model with a blue dial featuring a sunray texture, which combines classic elegance with a more subdued color palette. For those who prefer a more dazzling look, the version with a white dial decorated with diamond indices may be the perfect choice. All three models come with a comfortable stainless steel strap with a secure clasp.

The back of the models is also exciting, as a transparent sapphire crystal protects the finely crafted mechanism. It is worth taking a look at the Geneva stripe balance wheel, which is also coated with rose gold PVD and engraved with a winged hourglass.

For those who prefer a sportier look, the 38 mm versions offer an exciting alternative. Longines did not consider gold plating appropriate for this size, as it is less suited to sporty watches. The case is predominantly stainless steel, which can also be seen on the indices and hands. These watches are available with a brand new rubber strap that matches the color of the dial. The straps are decorated with the Longines winged hourglass motif and feature a safety clasp. The watch buckle is finely adjustable, allowing the owner to easily find the right fit. Particularly noteworthy is the model with a green dial, similar to its smaller siblings, with a sunray texture and a matching green rubber strap.

The Conquest series has been expanded with a version that exudes understated elegance, featuring a black dial and black rubber strap. The back of the 38 mm diameter models is also transparent, allowing us to admire the Geneva stripe balance wheel. Although we are focusing on these models now, the expanded Conquest collection has been expanded with a much wider selection. There are also 34 mm and 41 mm sizes, which Longines offers in a variety of colors and even with stainless steel straps.

All new Conquest models share the same characteristics of reliability and high quality. The watches are water-resistant to 100 meters, and their dials are protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass with a multi-layer anti-reflective coating on both sides. All models feature a date window at 6 o'clock.

The watches are powered by exclusive Longines automatic movements equipped with silicon hairsprings and anti-magnetic components. The 30 mm models feature the Longines Calibre L592.5 with a 45-hour power reserve, which is outstanding given the small size of the watch and its movement. The 38 mm versions boast the Longines Calibre L888.5 with a 72-hour power reserve, guaranteeing precision and reliability. The finely tuned movements can be admired through the transparent case back.

The new generation of Longines Conquest watches is characterized by versatility and perfect proportions. Thanks to the wide range of sizes and styles, the collection is highly appealing, allowing everyone to find the model that best suits their sense of elegance. These watches are ideal companions for everyday wear, embodying the Longines philosophy that elegance is a way of life. The Longines Conquest is the perfect choice for those looking for a reliable, technically advanced, yet timelessly stylish and comfortable Swiss watch.
