Longines Conquest - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

This is one of my vintages that I wear the most because it is so fine, endearing and luminous with its applied indexes, its logo, its solid gold crown. Its background with the gold and enamel insert and its fish that does not like water. Its slightly faded linen dial attests that it has lived well since 1961 but it works perfectly. Its date window at 12 o'clock. A brand that deserves to be even better known because there are so many rarities.

This Longines has a very special place in my collection. After having the "heritage" version from 2014, I couldn't help but think of the original version from 1954. So I sold the first one while waiting to find a good example of a vintage Conquest. Finally, in 2022, I found exactly what I was looking for with this watch in superb condition, with the 19.AS movement, which represents for me the embodiment of Longines' know-how and attention to detail of the case, dial and movement, without compromise.

I present to you my Longines Conquest Automatic in 41mm. This is a watch that arrived in my collection at a time when I no longer had a watch collection, having been burgled.

The Longines Conquest remains an enigma in my watchmaking journey: it is a watch that I first discovered in images, via different photos and videos, and systematically, I wondered what people could…

The Longines Conquest GMT is the first Swiss watch I bought. It was this one, along with the first watches of my adolescence (Seiko, Casio) that got me started in watchmaking. I was looking for a Swiss watch, with a recognized watchmaking history, automatic and with, if possible, a complication that was a bit nice and different from what we see, like dates or days. All that in a "content" budget, namely under the 1500€ mark. I found all that in this Longines. Its blue sunray dial is magnificent and the red hand of…

41mm quartz watch. Watch purchased with a chocolate brown leather strap. This is my first beautiful watch that I had for my 20th birthday, since then I can't do without it. 8 years later, I gave it a real youthful look with a metal strap and my watch is alive again, it has nothing to do with it. It is sporty and robust. I wear it every day, whether it's to go to work, play sports or whatever. The only small problem is its size, I would have loved it in 39mm given my small wrist.
