Founded in 1832, Longines has always played a great role in the watchmaking industry for its watches and movements which, even today, are considered as some of the most reliable and precise.

The Longines Conquest line has a rich history, dating back to its introduction in 1954. The Conquest collection was launched with the aim to offer robust watches that did not compromise on style. These early models were characterized by their durable construction, water resistance, and automatic movements. The initial designs featured a clean, classic look with sunburst dials, dauphine hands, and applied indices. The solid case backs often showcased an enamel medallion depicting the Longines hourglass logo.

This reference 9005 comes with a date complication. The distinctive dial features concentric circles with different finishes. The mention “Fab. Suisse” indicates that this piece was produced for the French market. Condition is striking, while these models often come with damaged dials. This one is glorious and comes with its original case.
