Longines introduces three versions of the newest Longines Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve, to celebrate the 70^th year of the Conquest collection. This release pays homage to the collection’s inaugural debut in 1954, presenting a design that draws inspiration from the aesthetics of the 1950s. It stands out with a special feature, a power reserve indicator on a rotating disc at the dial’s center. Which also can be found on the 35-millimeter 1959 Conquest with reference 9028.

The new Central Power Reserve has a stainless steel case measuring 38 millimeters. It comes in either black, anthracite or champagne color. The central power reserve indicator is shown on two rotating discs at the center of the dial. Longines uniquely invented and exclusively employs this process, positioning the indicator on the central uncoiling disc. Shaped like a widened baton at the top, it displays the depletion level, ranging from ’64’ to ‘0,’ on the external coiling disc. This indicates the remaining running hours available. You can rewind the watch by turning the crown or moving your wrist, causing the coiling disc to rotate.

The Longines Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve has a power reserve of 72 hours

Underneath is an automatic Longines caliber L896.5 which can be admired through its sapphire case back. Equipped with essential functionalities, aside from hours, minutes, seconds, and date providing a comprehensive display of time. The total power reserve of this anti-magnetic movement is 72 hours.

The Longines Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve comes on a black alligator strap for the champagne and black models. The anthracite model comes on a grey alligator. All secured with a stainless steel buckle.
