Longines Conquest 24 hours
Longines, which celebrates this year its 180th anniversary, extends its sporty Conquest line with new model designed for world travellers, the Conquest 24 hours.
The new Conquest 24 hours now adds a second time zone, a tool used by pilots crossing different time-zones in both directions.
As the sun was not always visible as a point of reference, instruments were needed that could immediately indicated the correct part of the day. With a 24-hour dial navigators had no problem in this respect. The watch has a water-resistance of 5 bar (50 m).
The robust, yet elegant stainless steel case of the new Conquest 24 hours has a diameter of 41 mm and houses the self-winding mechanical calibre L704.2 (ETA A07 171).
The sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating on the underside protects a black, silvered or blue dial with 2 applied Arabic numerals and 9 applied indices.
Rhodium-plated hands with Super-LumiNova show hours, minutes and seconds, the date is indicated at 3 o’clock. The bright red 24-hour hand immediately attracts the eye.
All Longines Conquest 24 hours watch models are available on a stainless steel bracelet and have a screw-in back cover and crown. Another feature is the lateral protection for the crown.
