About the Longines Conquest Classic Collection
The Longines Conquest Classic Collection is an elegant and sophisticated line that celebrates the brand’s longstanding association with the world of equestrian sports and chronograph watches. First introduced as part of Longines’ classic collections, it serves as a tribute to the brand’s heritage of precision and performance, dating back to 1954 when the original Conquest was launched. The Conquest Classic stands out for blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, making it ideal for those who seek both style and precision in a dress watch.
Features And Design
The Conquest Classic Collection is designed with modern elegance in mind, showcasing a balance of sporty aesthetics and refined details. Available in 29.5mm to 34mm case sizes, the collection caters to a broad audience, offering both men’s and women’s models. Cases are crafted from high-quality materials such as stainless steel, or combinations of steel and 18k gold, and are often polished to a mirror finish, adding to their luxurious appeal. The dials come in various shades, including black, silvered, and mother-of-pearl, often complemented by applied hour markers or Roman numerals, with some models featuring diamond embellishments. The date window is typically positioned at three o'clock, ensuring practicality alongside elegance. The sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment enhances durability and readability. Whether it's the slender profile or the combination of sport and sophistication, the Conquest Classic captures the essence of timeless design with a contemporary touch.
Iterations And Movements
The current lineup of Conquest Classic Collection watches offers only quartz models. For those who prefer quartz precision, this collection is the way to go. Some notable iterations in the collection include the Conquest Classic Chronograph, which offers a sporty yet elegant look, complete with sub-dials for timing functions, and the Conquest Classic Moonphase, which adds a touch of complexity and refinement to the timepieces.
