Longines Conquest watches

The Longines Conquest belongs to the brand's sport range, and Longines says it was the first of its collections to have its name protected by the Swiss Federal Intellectual Property Office, in 1954. Longines says it now fits all its automatic watches with movements that use a silicon balance-spring.

The modern Conquest is a steel or ceramic sports watch in automatic and quartz versions, and 41 mm is its core size. At 41 mm there is a three-hand Automatic, an Automatic GMT, a Quartz, and chronographs in both automatic and quartz form, several with a tachymeter bezel. Automatic and quartz versions share dial colours, so the word Automatic or Quartz in the name is what separates them. The Conquest Chronograph Ceramic puts the 41 mm chronograph in a black, grey or white ceramic case, on bracelet, leather or rubber, and the Chronograph Automatic also comes at 44.5 mm, with panda dials among them.

Below that, the Conquest comes at 39 mm as an automatic and at 25, 29.5, 34, 35 and 36 mm, mostly as quartz. The 29.5 and 34 mm Quartz Moonphase models add a moon phase, and the smaller sizes are where the mother-of-pearl dials and diamond-set bezels appear.
