Longines Conquest Chrono Ski Edition 42mm Mens Watch
Ref. L38364529
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.Longines has kept a presence in alpine sport for decades, and this chronograph — one of 2,025 made — pins that association to a specific moment rather than leaving it as ambient brand heritage. The edition number is not coincidental: 2025 is the year, and the watch is numbered to match it. The anthracite dial is multi-layered, which means the eye finds depth rather than a flat surface when the light catches it at an angle, and the applied green Super-LumiNova in the wedge markers reads with enough contrast against that dark ground to be genuinely useful rather than decorative. The ceramic tachymeter bezel is a material choice worth noting — it will not fade or scratch the way a painted aluminium insert would after a season of use. The 59-hour power reserve means a weekend off the wrist does not require resetting on Monday morning. The silicon balance-spring is the quiet engineering decision that distinguishes this movement from a conventional automatic of similar specification: it makes the calibre resistant to magnetic fields that would affect a traditional hairspring, and it does so without adding complexity to the service. The included rubber strap and springbar tool acknowledge that the bracelet is not the only correct answer for this watch.

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.
What size strap does it take?
22mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
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.
