This year Longines celebrates 70 years of the Conquest collection, which was renewed last year, and which now receives 30 new references, including new colours, new sizes and new bracelet options.

All additions share an automatic mechanical movement and 100m water resistance, the time-date variants come with three centre hands and a date window at 6 o’clock, while the chronograph version comes with with three registers.

Let’s now look at the main new features of the collection:

Conquest 30MM:

It is a new case size measuring 30mm wide by 9.70mm high that should better serve a female audience, which features the same case format with brushed surfaces, a smooth polished bezel, sapphire crystal, a fluted crown flanked by guards and a screwed open case back.

There are five colour options on the dial: green, royal blue and silver, all with a sunburst finish, and two other references with a mother-of-pearl dial with diamond markers to which one also adds a diamond-set bezel.

Inside, it comes equipped with the 4Hz Caliber L592.5 that offers up to 45 hours of power reserve.

They all come attached to a brushed steel H-link bracelet with polished intermediate links and a folding clasp.
