A MATTER OF GOOD TASTE
The brand rolls out eight new references of one of its historic pieces, boasting a highly-assertive style that goes far beyond fads and fashions, suitable for all wrists.
In 2024, Longines enhanced its 1954-born Conquest collection with new iterations equipped with a universal 38 mm-diameter case. This summer, the winged-hourglass brand extends this offer to its Conquest Heritage range. Models are also released with two millimeters more on the diameter, yet flaunt the same thickness, 10.80 mm, and all are waterproof to depths of 50 meters. All these watches feature a vintage-look scenography on their sunburst blue, green, brown, or black (depending on the version chosen) domed dial. The silvered, yellow- or rose-gold hands hover over an hour chapter made up of faceted markers in a matching color. What’s more, time data displays just ooze with timeless elegance. Dashes of Super-LumiNova® ensure everything is ever-so easy to read no matter the conditions of light. The screw-down caseback, just like those of yesteryear, center stages a medallion adorned, this time round, with a green hand-enameled fish, a tip of the hat to the timepieces’ technical characteristics.
All these variations are driven by the same caliber – L888.5, resistant to magnetic fields (ISO 764), namely thanks to its silicon spring. This contemporary selfwinding movement delivers a comfortable 72-hour power reserve.
These Conquest Heritage pieces cater for all tastes as they come complete with a choice of black or brown alligator straps, as well as an alternative steel bracelet attached by a folding clasp. Once again, performance and style are the name of the game.
