Longines is adding a new model to its highly acclaimed Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve dress watch line, which is rooted in its heritage, now featuring a serene light blue finish. Inspired by a model created in 1959, this timepiece features a unique centrally located power reserve indicator and is combined with a soft, elegant light blue opaline finish. It inherits the aesthetics and technical codes of the heritage while showcasing a modern sensibility. This model will be available in two variations: one with a gray leather strap and another with a stainless steel bracelet.
The history of "Conquest" and "Central Power Reserve"
Longines' "Conquest" is Longines' first collection whose name has been officially protected by the Swiss Federal Office of Intellectual Property, and it holds a significant place in the brand's history. Combining superior performance with elegant design, the Conquest has become a timeless symbol of elegance and the foundation of the "everyday watch."
The Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve is a model released in 2024 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Conquest collection, and its design is inspired by a timepiece created in 1959. Its unique "Central Power Reserve" display mechanism consists of two rotating discs, and a baton-shaped indicator shows the remaining energy of the mainspring on a scale from "64" to "0" hours arranged on the outer edge.
The light blue opaline dial and two variations have been announced.
The newly added color is an elegant light blue opaline dial that highlights the historical mechanism. The dial features silver applied indices and "skyscraper" style hands. While the design is classic, the inclusion of Super-LumiNova® ensures visibility in low light conditions, adding a modern practicality. A trapezoidal date display at the 12 o'clock position provides a distinctive accent.
