Introducing Longines Expands the Conquest Heritage Collection

New Dial Colors and a Stainless Steel Bracelet Complement the Collection’s Classic Character

The Conquest collection, one of Longines’ most successful designs, dates back to the 1950s. It represents the brand’s heritage of vintage-inspired timepieces, preserving the distinctive design elements that made the original Conquest an icon. Revived in 2023, the collection celebrated its 70th anniversary last year with several new editions

Now, Longines enriches the Conquest Heritage line with an array of new dial colors and a newly introduced stainless steel bracelet.

The stainless steel case is available in two sizes—38 mm and 40 mm. Lug-to-lug measurements are 45.6 mm for the 38 mm version and 48.1 mm for the 40 mm version, ensuring a comfortable fit on a variety of wrist sizes. 

The case features an almost entirely polished finish, contrasted by a brushed area surrounding the 18K gold medallion on the caseback a hallmark of the Conquest line, signifying its water resistance.

The dial retains its signature domed, vintage-inspired design, enhanced by a two-tone effect that combines a sunray-brushed base with a circular brushed ring and double-faceted applied markers. 

The new collection introduces five color variations: blue, green, brown, silver, and black. The blue model features faceted, rhodium-plated indices and hands, while the bold green and brown versions are paired with rose gold-tone accents. The silver edition stands out with yellow gold details, and the black version features rose gold accents. All colorways are offered in both case sizes.

Powering the watches is the Longines L888 movement, the same used in the previous editions. This updated variant of the ETA A31.L11 automatic movement comes with a reduced frequency of 25,200 vibrations per hour (vph) and a monocrystalline silicon balance spring, enhancing the overall accuracy of the timepiece. The power reserve has also been improved, now offering a generous 72-hour autonomy. The rotor, embellished with the brand name and logo,a Côtes de Genève and perlage finishing.

can choose between a supple black or brown alligator leather strap or the newly introduced stainless steel H-link bracelet. Both options are fitted with a deployant clasp and a micro-adjustment system for optimal comfort.

These new models join the brand’s permanent collection and are priced as follows: EUR 3,250 approximately AED 14,020 on strap, and EUR 3,350 approximately AED 14,450) on bracelet.
