Longines Conquest 42mm Mens Watch Brown
Ref. L38354329
Sits in Longines’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Longines watches we list, which start at £1,050.
Price range £1,050 to £22,850 across 113 Longines watches in stock.The Conquest collection dates to 1954, and the chronograph has always sat at its more purposeful end — a sports tool that Longines built to be used rather than admired from a distance. This reference carries that intent forward in a way that feels considered rather than routine: the sunray champagne-brown dial against black sub-dials and a black ceramic bezel is an unusual combination, warm where most sport chronographs are cold, and it reads clearly across the layout without any of the visual clutter that complications at this scale can produce. The L898 is the part of this watch that the case back was designed to show off. Longines builds it with a silicon balance-spring and non-magnetic architecture, which matters in daily use more than power reserve figures do — though 59 hours is generous enough to survive a weekend off the wrist. The black rubber strap with its micro-adjustable folding clasp keeps the whole thing practical on the wrist, and the screw-in crown holds the 100m rating without adding awkward bulk to the case side.

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 59 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 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.
