Longines Conquest Marco Odermatt

History

Founded in 1954, the Longines Conquest collection was the first step towards the brand’s renewed strategy of product development and families. Before the 1950s, Longines did not create entirely in-house products. This development was a milestone in the legacy of Longines and the Conquest collection holds a special place inside the Weems of Longines.

Features

As simple as it gets, the Conquests also displays a bold yet charismatic persona on the wrist. In most of the timepieces, the Conquest features index markers and in some cases Roman numerals at the 12 and 6 o’clock markers. The hours and minutes are marked by meticulously designed by sword hands, whereas, there is also a date window at the 3 o’clock marker. Taking inspiration from the dive watches, there is also a protected crown. For women, the Conquest features a mother-of-pearl dial, providing a more elegant approach towards the bold Conquest.

Movement

The Longines Conquest collection is available in both quartz and automatic movement. Inside the automatic Conquests, the mechanical movement is the in-house L888. The L888 is a robust movement that provides a power reserve of approximately 64 hours.
