70 years of the Conquest
An iconic model from the end of the 1950s, this collection is the first line of Longines watches with a protected name in 1954. Automatic and waterproof, it has always been associated with the world of sport. In 1959, the collection was enriched with a unique 72-hour power reserve indicator, composed of two rotating discs located in the center of the dial. In champagne, anthracite or black color, the three-part dial of the new Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve is bordered on its fixed part by twelve applied indexes, yellow gold, rose gold or silver. A fine circular thread carries the faceted indexes and separates the minute track on the fixed dial.
