The Longines Conquest has long been one of the brand's signature collections, combining refined styling with dependable Swiss engineering. This 1992 example reflects the understated elegance that defined Longines during the period, offering a slim, versatile dress watch equally suited to everyday wear and more formal occasions.
Presented in a gold-plated stainless steel case, the watch features a clean champagne dial with applied hour markers and a neatly framed date aperture at 3 o'clock. The warm tones of the dial complement the gold-plated case beautifully, while the original two-tone Longines bracelet completes the balanced, sophisticated design that has made the Conquest collection a lasting favourite.
Powering the watch is the Longines Calibre L161 quartz movement, based on the proven ETA 255.111, delivering the accuracy, reliability and low-maintenance ownership expected from Swiss quartz watchmaking. Protected by a sapphire crystal and measuring just 7mm thick, it wears comfortably on the wrist with a slim profile that slips effortlessly beneath a shirt cuff.
At Vintage Watch HQ, we selected this example for its excellent overall condition and complete presentation. Supplied with its original Longines presentation box, authenticity card dated 22 December 1992, and two additional bracelet links, it offers an increasingly uncommon opportunity to acquire a complete vintage Longines Conquest exactly as it would have been sold.
