Stepping up in Longines's range
The Conquest has always sat at the practical end of Longines — a Swiss automatic built to be worn rather than saved. This version continues that without compromise: the L888 calibre runs a silicon balance-spring, which means magnetic fields that would set a conventional lever-escapement adrift simply do not register. For a watch that goes everywhere, that matters more than it sounds. At 10.9mm thick, it sits considerably flatter than most sports watches rated to 100m, and the screw-in crown keeps that rating honest. The sunray blue dial shifts noticeably with the angle of light — darker and denser face-on, livelier when the wrist turns — and the exhibition caseback lets the movement be seen without the watch becoming a display object. Seventy-two hours of power reserve means a watch left off on Friday is still running Monday morning. The micro-adjustment system on the folding clasp is the detail that earns its keep on a rubber strap, where a half-link of give can be the difference between comfortable and just tolerable.

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.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
How long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 72 hours fully wound — enough to sit off the wrist over a weekend and still be running.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
Who are Goldsmiths?
Goldsmiths has been selling watches in Britain since 1778 and is part of the Watches of Switzerland Group, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. They are an authorised dealer, so a watch comes with the manufacturer’s own warranty.
