The Longines Conquest Heritage Returns In New Colors And A Steel Bracelet

MRSTATELESS LONGINES, NEW RELEASES 2025 0

Longines revisits its roots with the latest additions to the Conquest Heritage line, a collection that traces its origins back to 1954. This new chapter draws on the understated sophistication of mid-20th-century design, reimagining it through a modern lens. The result is a series of refined timepieces that capture the spirit of classic watchmaking while offering the versatility today’s wearers expect.

Refined Case Proportions and Distinctive Details

Available in two case sizes—38 mm and 40 mm, both crafted in polished stainless steel—the Conquest Heritage maintains a slim 10.80 mm thickness, offering a balanced profile that suits both formal attire and more relaxed wardrobes. The overall silhouette stays true to the original design language, with a smooth polished bezel, short vintage-style lugs, and a box-shaped sapphire crystal that adds a subtle retro touch.

The caseback features a visually striking 18K yellow gold medallion, enamelled by hand and engraved with a fish motif. This decorative element is a direct nod to the design legacy of past Conquest models, enhancing the character and charm of the watch.

Sophisticated Dials with Two-Tone Finishing

The dials across the collection feature a domed surface with a two-tone finish, achieved through a combination of a central sunray-brushed area and a circular satin-brushed outer track. Each dial is accented with triangular, double-facetted applied hour markers, designed to catch the light while enhancing legibility and depth.

In addition to the previously available black and silver dials, Longines has introduced three new color options. One is a rich midnight blue, paired with rhodium-plated markers and hands for a cool, contemporary feel. Two additional dial colors—green and chocolate brown—bring bolder character to the collection, both enhanced with warm rose gold-toned accents. These new dial variations maintain the elegance and simplicity of the collection, with all models forgoing a date window in favor of a cleaner, historically faithful look.

Enhanced Mechanical Performance

At the heart of every Conquest Heritage model is the Longines Calibre L888.5, an automatic movement developed exclusively for the brand. Based on the ETA 2892, this caliber is equipped with a silicon balance spring, which improves resistance to magnetism and enhances long-term precision. Operating at a frequency of 3.5 Hz, the movement offers a 3-day power reserve, ensuring strong performance even during extended periods of non-wear.

Bracelet and Strap Options

One of the most notable updates in this expanded collection is the introduction of a new stainless steel bracelet. Designed with an H-link structure and finished with alternating polished and brushed surfaces, the bracelet adds a touch of modern sportiness to the otherwise vintage-inspired watch. It is secured with a folding clasp that includes a micro-adjustment system, providing both practicality and comfort.

For those who prefer a more classic look, every reference in the Conquest Heritage line is also available on black or brown alligator leather straps, each fitted with a heritage-style stainless steel pin buckle that complements the watch’s retro aesthetic.

Pricing and Availability

The new Longines Conquest Heritage models are now available through the brand’s boutiques and authorized retailers. Pricing is set at € 3,300 for versions on leather strap, and € 3,400 for models equipped with the stainless steel bracelet.

With its thoughtful design updates, a wider range of dial colors, and a choice between refined leather or sportier metal bracelets, the Longines Conquest Heritage remains a compelling choice for enthusiasts of vintage-style watches backed by modern reliability.
