Why this watch.

Mid‑70s Longines Conquest in compact dress form

This Conquest dates to 1975 and presents Longines’ restrained mid‑70s dress aesthetic in a compact 30 mm gold‑plated steel case. The acrylic crystal and classic Conquest dial retain the period proportions and refined simplicity that suit formal and everyday wear. Under the caseback the hand‑wound Cal. L8473 — a 17‑jewel movement running at 21,600 A/h with roughly 40 hours of autonomy — reflects Longines’ mechanical tradition of dependable, well‑engineered calibres. Today this watch appeals to collectors who favour wearable vintage proportions and straightforward, serviceable mechanics.
