Longines, a Swiss watch brand, has been synonymous with elegance and precision since its establishment in 1832 by Auguste Agassiz. Nestled in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, Longines has played a pivotal role in the evolution of watchmaking technology, combining traditional craftsmanship with advancements in timekeeping. Known for their classic design and sophisticated functionality, Longines watches are distinguished by their timeless aesthetic and durability. Registered in Switzerland on April 3rd 1954, Conquest was the first product family that the brand established. 

What's on Offer

This beautiful Longines Conquest is absolutely charming, the dial is furnished with gilt arrowhead hour markers and stylish Dauphine hands with slim luminous inserts. The dial has taken on some patina across the central pinnion and outwards - as a vintage watch collector we are sure you will appreciate the joy of seeing this natural age process. The dial is rather opulent with its gilt furnishings and wears beautifully on the wrist, it is certainly full of character. The case is crafted from polished stainless steel and is in superb condition given the watch's age of near on 70 years. To the caseback you will note the watch displays a distinctive feature – the "gold seal of Longines quality" – which was a guarantee of quality specific to the original Conquest line. There are two versions of the medallion: that used for the models in gold is in the form of a constellation and that used for the models in steel represents a fish as you see here. 

This is a wonderful vintage piece that would make a fantastic asset in any collection, and a beautiful watch to wear.
