Longines patented the Conquest in 1954 to embody the timelessness of watches. The Classic collection wins over hearts and wrists alike as it strikes the perfect balance between elegance, tradition and performance in the form of this new 42mm model. Three versions are available (steel, rose gold or steel and rose gold) and it has a multitude of functions on the dial (black or silver subject to model) without making it hard to tell the time. Four hands track the hours, minutes, date and chronograph seconds in the centre of the dial. A subdial at 9 o’ clock brings the small seconds counter and 24 hour counter together whilst the hour counter lies at 6 o’ clock. The minute counter at 12 o’ clock features two displays presenting the day and month. The self-winding L678 chronograph movement brings all the functions to life from inside the case. Price: 3,210 CHF (steel) – 4,800 CHF (steel and rose gold) – 10,900 CHF (rose gold)
