Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Conquest collection traces back to 1954, when Longines positioned it as the watch that could handle both the sports podium and the dinner table that followed — a dual ambition that has shaped every generation since. This 30mm version carries that spirit into a frankly dressed form: a mother-of-pearl dial set with fifteen Top Wesselton VS-SI diamonds as hour markers, the kind of stones more often found on pieces that cannot go near water, here protected to 100 metres. Inside, the L592 runs on a silicon balance-spring, which resists magnetism in a way a conventional hairspring cannot. That matters less on a dress watch and more on one worn through a full day — laptops, bag clasps, kitchen appliances — where magnetic fields are routine. The 45-hour reserve means a Friday evening removal does not require resetting by Monday morning. The transparent caseback lets the movement be seen, and on a watch this slim — 9.70mm — watching an automatic wind itself through that window has a particular clarity to it.

Learn more about Longines
Auguste Agassiz began trading watches in Saint-Imier in 1832, but the modern company dates from 1860, when his nephew Ernest Francillon built a factory in the meadows beside the Suze — the longines of the local dialect — and consolidated the scattered outworkers of the region under one roof.
Longines registered its winged hourglass in 1889. It is the oldest watch trademark still in continuous use.
The company's identity was built on precision and on timing things in public. It supplied chronographs for the first modern Olympic events it timed in 1896, timed the 1912 Federal Gymnastics Festival with a broken-wire mechanism accurate to a hundredth of a second, and developed the photo-finish camera and the quartz timing devices used across twentieth-century athletics.
Its aviation associations are equally deep. Longines instruments were carried by Charles Lindbergh across the Atlantic in 1927, and the Hour Angle watch, designed to Lindbergh's own specification to simplify longitude calculation, remains in the catalogue. Amelia Earhart and Howard Hughes both navigated by Longines.
The house was among the most decorated at nineteenth-century observatory trials, holding numerous precision records. Since joining the Swatch Group in 1983 it has occupied the accessible-heritage position: exclusive ETA-based movements, archive-driven designs through the Heritage line, and volume that makes it one of the group's most important brands.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 45 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
