Longines Conquest

Longines Conquest watches are a member of the famous Longines Sport Collection series. Whilst very sporty, the Longines Conquest series maintains sophistication through the use of a sturdy solid steel platform.

Developed by Longines to withstand the elements, Conquest watches boast a 300m water resistance. The Longines Conquest watch is available in a wide range of varieties, offering something for virtually everyone. Among the watch designs available in the Longines Conquest line up are men's, ladies', quartz, automatic, and automatic chronograph movements, as well as optional diamonds for select models.

Longines combines all these factors to create a versatile watch, allowing the Conquest to suit everyday wear, as well as any formal event.

Visually, each watch in the Conquest watch series are appealing. Longines has paid special attention to the appearance of the bezel, the cabochon crown and the links - all made of ceramic. Longines' use of this material in its Conquest watches successfully combines glamour with novel technical watch features.

The Conquest watch displays a seamless marriage of steel with the ceramic and practical function with elegance. Appearance aside, the Longines Conquest meets even the most demanding needs of any sportsman or woman, with a wealth of technical features.

With sports in mind, the Conquest line is driven by the spirit of adventure of those who have dared to go farther than others. Fusing this passion with Longines' long history, the watchmaker hopes to entice sportsmen and women with a watch that promises efficiency and performance without forgetting style. It is with this intention that Longines enlisted ceramic for its Conquest.

Scratch-proof and non-allergenic, ceramic is impervious to all chemicals, as well as being resistant to friction, abrasion and high temperatures. This makes the Longines Conquest watch a tough competitor on the sports field. And for the catwalk, the Longines Conquest watch displays vibrant sheen contrasts with the brushed finish of the steel used for the case and the bracelet. The black, grey or white of the Conquest watch dial's sleek design also resonates the quality of the ceramic.

When in use, Longines included a few further additions to ensure the Conquest can survive the toughest of challenges. Each Longines Conquest watch features a screw-in crown and case-back, lateral protection for the crown and a triple folding safety clasp.

Inside the 41mm watch case, Longines offers a variety in each Conquest model. The stainless steel case houses a choice of a self-winding, chronograph or three-hand movements.

In every model of its Conquest watch series, Longines has delivered a design-led, high performance machine. It's a tradition that has continued ever since 1984, when Longines successfully broke a number of accuracy records with its Conquest VHP (Very High Performance). This record breaking watch had a time variance of just 12 seconds a year, thrusting the Conquest series into a spotlight it is yet to leave.

As a testament to the excellence of the Longines brand, the company has sold over 30 million watches since the release of its first watch in 1905. The Longines Conquest watch is just one of its unique designs that deliver precision, high quality movements and classic, timeless looks.
