Longines Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve Watch 38mm with Light Blue Opaline Dial - L16484926

Longines L16484926 Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve Watch 38mm with Light Blue Opaline Dial

With its protected name dating to 1954, the Conquest collection has long expressed a daring, creative spirit through classic watchmaking. The Longines Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve looks back to the original Conquest models of the 1950s while carrying their character forward with current mechanical technology. Created for enthusiasts who value vintage-inspired design, mechanical watchmaking and useful information at a glance, this 38mm automatic watch makes its signature complication an integral part of the dial. It connects more than 70 years of Conquest heritage with a distinctly modern way to follow the movement's energy.

The L896 complication turns the power reserve into a functional focal point, presenting stored energy as part of the watch's visual identity. With up to 72 hours of reserve, the mechanism offers as long as three days of running time when fully wound. Its self-winding mechanical movement gathers energy through normal wrist motion and also supports manual winding. A monocrystalline silicon balance-spring and manufacturer-stated frequency of 25,200 vibrations per hour bring current technical details to a design rooted in the past. Together, these elements invite the wearer to appreciate the mechanics while keeping the available reserve easy to understand.

The light blue opaline dial gives this configuration a distinctive expression, with the date function integrated alongside hours, minutes, seconds and the central reserve. Swiss Super-LumiNova adds luminous detail for low-light readability. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the display, while anti-reflective treatment supports a clear view of its layered presentation. The stainless steel case and matching bracelet establish a cohesive, classic look that complements the 1950s-inspired styling. Finished with a Swiss Made origin marking, the watch brings heritage character, mechanical detail and practical readability together in one carefully coordinated design.

Key Features

Central Power Reserve

The L896 complication gives stored movement energy a prominent place on the dial. As the watch is wound, the outer disc advances; as that energy decreases, the central disc indicates the hours still available. This interaction makes movement status easy to check while reinforcing the model's distinctive visual character.

Stainless Steel Bracelet

The coordinated steel bracelet closes with a double security folding clasp. Its integrated micro-adjustment system allows the fit to be refined while maintaining the watch's classic all-steel presentation.
