Longines introduces the new Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve model, once again demonstrating its rich heritage, spirit of innovation, and exquisite watchmaking craftsmanship. Following the special edition launched in 2024 to mark the 70th anniversary of the Conquest collection, this new release continues the line's evolution, naturally building upon its legacy to write a new chapter. The timepiece highlights a distinctive central power reserve display and features a light blue opaline dial; it is available in two elegant versions—one paired with a stainless steel bracelet and the other with a grey leather strap. While retaining the collection's signature aesthetic and technical style, the new model incorporates contemporary elements, upholding Longines' unwavering commitment to timeless elegance.

Since its debut in 1954, the Conquest collection has embodied Longines' rich heritage and visionary spirit. As the first Longines collection to receive name protection from the Federal Intellectual Property Office in Bern, Switzerland, the Conquest line marked a milestone in the brand's history. Combining outstanding performance with elegant design, the collection stands as an enduring symbol of timeless elegance.

A Classic Reimagined with Ingenious Flair

Inspired by an exceptional timepiece from 1959 and reinterpreted through modern watchmaking craftsmanship, the Longines Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve exudes the charm of vintage design. Its defining feature is a unique display function—an innovation pioneered and exclusively used by Longines.

The power reserve indicator is positioned at the center of the dial and operates via two rotating discs. A baton-shaped indicator tracks the remaining energy against an outer scale ranging from 64 to 0 hours, offering an intuitive and dynamic way to view the watch's autonomy at a glance. During daily wear or winding, the outer disc rotates continuously from 0 to 64 hours, adding a touch of lively animation to the dial.

Today, this historic complication is revitalized in two exquisite new models. Featuring a light blue opaline dial paired with either a stainless steel bracelet or a grey leather strap, these watches blend the collection's signature elegance with a distinctively contemporary aesthetic.

Exceptional Craftsmanship and Dedication

These new models are powered by the exclusive Longines L896.5 movement, underscoring the brand's unwavering commitment to innovation. This self-winding mechanical movement features a silicon balance spring, ensuring precision, exceptional magnetic resistance, and lasting reliability, with a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. The 38mm stainless steel case showcases an elegant interplay of satin-brushed and polished finishes. It features a screw-down transparent case back and a crown adorned with the winged hourglass emblem. A box-shaped synthetic sapphire crystal with multi-layered anti-reflective coating on both sides ensures clear legibility, while water resistance to 5 bar (50 meters) adds practicality for daily wear. The light blue opaline dial is accented with silver-plated applied indices and "skyscraper" style hands—all coated with Super-LumiNova for clear visibility in any lighting condition without compromising its refined aesthetic. A trapezoidal date window at the 12 o'clock position enhances the dial's distinct character. The stainless steel bracelet embodies a sleek, modern, and integrated aesthetic; it is equipped with a double-folding safety clasp featuring a push-button release and an integrated micro-adjustment system for a comfortable, precise fit. A version with a grey leather strap and a vintage-style pin buckle is also available, offering a touch of nostalgic charm.
