Introduction The Longines Conquest is a distinguished sports-dress hybrid that represents one of the Swiss maison's most celebrated collections. Founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Longines is among the oldest continuously operating watchmakers in the world, renowned for its winged hourglass logo, the oldest registered trademark still in use. This particular Conquest reference showcases the elegant yet robust design language that has made the line a favourite among collectors seeking Swiss quality with everyday versatility. Historical & Collector Value The Conquest line was originally introduced by Longines in 1954 and has since become emblematic of the brand's sporting heritage. This example, produced during the late 1990s, features the distinctive fluted rotating bezel with Roman numeral quarter markers and exposed screws that define this generation of Conquest models. Its design bridges the classic and sporty aesthetics of the era, making it increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate transitional-era Longines pieces. The 100 metres water resistance and integrated bracelet design reflect the tool-watch ambitions of this reference.
