Longines Expands CONQUEST Collection with New Models for Everyday Elegance

The CONQUEST collection is being expanded with new models that combine sporty elegance with robustness for everyday use. Available in a range of sizes, colours and materials, these timepieces effortlessly adapt to any occasion. To experience the magic of the now, the new CONQUEST are powered by exclusive Longines self-winding mechanical movements equipped with a silicon balance-spring and new components made of non-magnetic material. Longines Ambassadors of Elegance Zhao Liying, Suzy, and Barbara Palvin perfectly embody the elegance and versatility of the CONQUEST line in a dynamic new campaign being launched this summer: “A Life in a Day“.

New Models by CONQUEST

Elegance isnt reserved for special occasions. The ultimate every day watch, CONQUEST says, it loud and clear. An evocation of daring and of creative spirit, the collection was the first Longines watch line to have its name protected, in 1954, by the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (IPI). Over time, the CONQUEST line has evolved in terms of design and technology, while remaining true to its original spirit, a blend of boldness, timelessness and sporty elegance.

Unveiled in 2023, the new generation of CONQUEST watches is being extended this year to mark the 70th anniversary of the collection, with exclusive new models for women and men. The new timepieces come in a wide choice of colours, materials and sizes: 30 mm, 34 mm and 38 mm for the three-hand versions and 42 mm for the chronographs.

The new 2024 models come in a stainless steel or bi-material case with alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces, water-resistant up to 10 bar (100 m) and with a transparent screw-on case back. All these timepieces are powered by exclusive Longines self-winding mechanical movements equipped with a silicon balance-spring and new components made of non-magnetic material. The result: resistance to magnetic fields that exceeds the ISO 764 standard by a multiple of ten.

The every day watch

The heroines of the new Longines campaign featuring its Ambassadors of Elegance Zhao Liying, Suzy, and Barbara Palvin, the 34 mm three-hand versions feature a green, pink or blue dial. Day or night, in trainers or heels, these models are suitable for any setting or activity.

Elegant and understated, the dial has external snailing that makes the colour more vibrant and intense. It features eleven applied silvered hour markers and a date aperture at 6 oclock. The hour markers at 3, 9 and 12 oclock, coated with Super-LumiNova, like the polished rhodium-plated hour and minute hands, offer optimum legibility both day and night. The 34 mm version is also available in a number of other colours, with a steel case, diamond-set or not, or a bi-material case, with a rose gold cap on the bezel and a rose gold crown. Comfortable and versatile, these watches come with stainless steel bracelets with triple safety folding clasp, or a choice of coloured rubber straps with hourglass motifs and double safety folding clasp with micro-adjustment.

New 30 mm and 38 mm sizes

To fit all wrists, the CONQUEST three-hand model is also available with new 30 mm and 38 mm steel or diamond-set steel cases. The 30 mm variant is available with silver sunray dial and gilt indexes, as well as with blue or green sunray dials or in white mother-of-pearl with diamonds as hour markers. The 38 mm dial comes in silver, green, blue, black or champagne sunray.

The chronograph model sports new colours
The 42 mm chronograph version has also been extended with the launch of new variations of silvered matt dials. The sub-second dial at 3 oclock and the counters at 6 and 9 oclock, in blue or green, are matched to the ceramic tachymetric bezel. These models, as well as the champagne-coloured version launched in 2023, are offered on new blue, green or black rubber straps with hourglass motifs to match the dial. These chronographs are also available with a stainless steel bracelet.
