Clean sunburst dial, original crystal, signed crown, and classic early 1970s design. Guaranteed functionality, elegant Swiss vintage watch. Model History: The Longines Conquest line, introduced in 1954, was one of the brand’s first fully unified collections, combining durability with refined design. By the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Conquest models underwent a noticeable stylistic evolution, moving toward sharper case shapes and cleaner, more modern dials while maintaining their reputation as reliable everyday watches. This reference 1557-1 is a representative example from that transitional period, featuring a manual-wind movement with date complication, allowing for a slimmer and more elegant profile compared to automatic versions. The angular tonneau-style case, paired with a white sunburst dial and applied baton indices, reflects the early 1970s design direction.
