Based in Saint-Imier, Switzerland since 1832, Longines watchmakers enjoy an expertise steeped in tradition, elegance and performance.

With generations of experience as the official timekeeper for world championships, and as a partner of international sports federations, Longines has created strong and long-lasting relationships in the world of sports, over the years. Longines is a member of the Swatch Group, the world’s leading watchmaker  and is established in over 150 countries.

 The Conquest V.H.P.

Longines’ history with quartz is filled with technical innovations. In 1954, the first quartz watch set a precision record at the Neuchâtel Observatory. It was fitted into the legendary Chronocinégines, an instrument that became a pioneer in the history of timekeeping, as it provided judges with a film strip composed of a series of prints, allowing them to follow the athletes’ movement as they crossed the finish line. In 1969, Longines revealed the Ultra-Quartz, the first quartz movement designed for wristwatches.

As an extension of these historic milestones, Conquest V.H.P. stands out for its precision and ability to reset its hands after an impact or exposure to a magnetic field.

These steel or black PVD models are available in two sizes (42 and 44 mm in diameter) and display hours, minutes and seconds, a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock and a 60-second counter in the centre. On each model, manipulations are simplified thanks to the intelligent crown, while two distinct indicators preventively signal the end of battery life. Conquest V.H.P. chronographs boast blue, carbon fibre, silvered or black dials. A steel, or blue or black rubber watch strap completes these exceptional timepieces.
