The Conquest Heritage models pay tribute to this legacy, seamlessly blending iconic designs from the 1950s with the cutting-edge advancements of contemporary horology. - Vintage-Inspired Luxury: A Tribute to Watchmaking History
The Conquest collection carries profound historical significance. First introduced in 1954, it was the initial Longines series to have its name protected by the Swiss Federal Intellectual Property Office. Today’s Longines Conquest Heritage pays homage to those iconic early models while enhancing them with 21st-century advancements.
