Longines Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve – Light Blue Edition
The Longines Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve has been reissued with a fresh light‑blue opaline dial, preserving the iconic rotating‑disc power reserve display that shows the remaining energy in the mainspring. The 38 mm stainless‑steel case combines satin‑brushed and polished finishes, a box‑shaped sapphire crystal with double‑sided anti‑reflective coating, and a screw‑down sapphire caseback, offering 50 m water resistance. Powered by the exclusive L896.5 automatic movement, the watch features a silicon balance spring, 25 200 vibrations per hour, and a 72‑hour power reserve displayed through two rotating discs at the centre of the dial. Two versions are available: one on a stainless‑steel bracelet with a double‑folding clasp and micro‑adjustment system, and another with a grey alligator leather strap and heritage pin buckle. Prices are €4 250 for the leather‑strap model and €4 400 for the steel‑bracelet version, both part of Longines’ permanent collection and ready for immediate purchase.
Buying Time Analysis: The story highlights Long Chronos’s revival of a historic mechanical display, showcasing how heritage design combined with modern technology creates a distinctive, technically innovative watch that celebrates the brand’s legacy while offering contemporary appeal.
