Longines has an incredibly detailed history. To understand the journey the brand has taken from starting as a small company founded by Auguste Agassiz and two other partners in 1832, to becoming one of the world’s most recognised watch manufacturers, it's necessary to look at some of Longines’ biggest milestones.
In the 1960s/70s, it fought the quartz tsunami with great honor, lamely bringing to market watches that were accurate, affable, and with apt designs. The Conquest line is a fervent example of this.
This Conquest is a new old stock item,with original vintage strap, logoed buckle,sticker on case back and tag with serial and ref. Finding these goodies is getting harder and harder and a classic and elegant timepiece like this is always a must have for any occasion. Moreover it was marketed in Portugal, as seen by the mark on the side of the case. Country that branded all valuable items and materials when importing.
