Longines released the Conquest line in 1954 as their flagship model—and incidentally, it was the first line to have its name officially protected by the Federal Intellectual Property Office in Berne. The original ref. 9001 showcased the brand’s latest innovations at the time: an in-house automatic movement and a water-resistant case. It also featured a stunning champlevé enamel medallion inlaid into the caseback—an element that would become the signature of the Conquest line.

This ref. 9025, dating back to 1966, features a full 18k yellow-gold case paired with an 18k yellow-gold bracelet that is nothing short of a work of art. T
