Longines Conquest Classic Automatic Chronograph

History

Derived from the Conquest, the Longines Performance collection traces its roots back to the 1950s. Launched to bring in more diversity, the Conquest was launched in 1954. It was released as a part of a newly developed marketing strategy of reeling in more performance-oriented timepieces. Today, the Longines Performance collection is more inclined towards the design aspect of the watch.

Features

Conquering the lands of a performance-oriented collection, the Performance collection features a simplistic approach. Starting with the Conquest, the timepieces are fixed with index markers and Arabic numerals in some. In some of the timepieces, the Conquest also features a moon phase at the 6 o’clock marker. Another addition to the collection is the Conquest Classic which is fitted with all the classicism on its dial. In some of the timepieces, the Conquest Classic also features a diamond-studded bezel and index markers.

The Classic V.H.P

Longines was known for its elegant and subtle timepieces. With years of precision and experience under its belt, Longines decided to place a set of timepieces dedicated to its legacy. The timepiece under the spotlight is the Conquest V.H.P, where V.H.P stands for “Very High Precision” and these timepieces offer the same with utmost elegance.
