Longines
Conquest Automatic 18k
Vintage Longines Conquest Automatic wristwatch, heavily evoking the classic design language of the 1950s or 1960s. The watch features a round, gold-toned case with visible scratches and wear, characteristic of an authentic antique timepiece. Its champagne-colored sunburst dial is detailed with applied gold hour markers, a subtle date window at the 3 o'clock position, and the iconic Longines winged hourglass logo beneath the 12 o'clock mark. The cursive script for "Conquest" sits elegantly above the "automatic" designation near the bottom, flanked by three stylized stars. The watch is currently missing its strap, revealing the spring bars between the tapered lugs.

First introduced in 1954, the Longines Conquest represents a watershed moment in the manufacturer's history as its very first named watch collection, shifting the brand away from strict reference numbers toward lifestyle-driven marketing. Positioned as a flagship line combining high-grade sports durability with dress-watch elegance, early generations of the Conquest are highly coveted by collectors for their outstanding in-house calibres—such as the celebrated Calibre 291 automatic movement. This specific mid-1960s iteration stands apart with its "three-star" dial configuration, a designation meant to denote high performance and premium tiering, and features the historically interesting, inner-stepped date window layout. Highly prized for its mid-century geometric styling, bold faceted hour indices, and robust case construction, this piece represents the golden era of Longines' mid-century horology, making it a foundational reference for vintage watch connoisseurs
