STONEBRIDGE WATCHES SAYS...The Longines Conquest remains one of the finest expressions of mid-century Swiss watchmaking, combining understated elegance with the technical excellence that established Longines as one of the world's most respected manufacturers. This particular example, a Longines Conquest Automatic Date Ref. 8044-11, is an exceptionally well-preserved watch dating from the 1960s and showcases everything collectors admire about the era.
The beautifully preserved silver sunburst dial catches the light wonderfully, revealing a subtle radial finish that changes character throughout the day. Applied faceted baton hour markers, dauphine-style hands and the neatly framed date aperture create a balanced and sophisticated design that remains as attractive today as it was when first produced. The stainless steel case retains its sharp lines and elegant proportions, offering the timeless wearability that has made vintage Conquest models increasingly sought after by enthusiasts.
Powering the watch is the highly regarded Longines Calibre 291, an in-house Swiss automatic movement from the celebrated 29x family. Renowned for its quality, reliability and smooth operation, the Calibre 291 represents Longines at a time when the brand was producing some of the finest automatic movements in Switzerland. The watch has been professionally serviced in June 2026 and is running exactly as intended.
Presented on a new black leather strap and fitted with a Longines signed buckle, the watch is ready to be enjoyed immediately. Also included is a Longines travel case, making this a particularly complete and appealing package for both collectors and those seeking a distinguished vintage daily wearer.
Finding a Conquest of this age is not difficult; finding one with such an attractive original dial, a freshly serviced in-house movement and excellent overall presentation is considerably less common. It is a wonderful example of Longines' golden era and a watch that perfectly embodies the refined, understated character that makes vintage Swiss watches so enduringly appealing.
At Stonebridge Watches, we have a particular appreciation for watches of this size and era. At approximately 35mm, this Conquest wears with a level of elegance and comfort that many modern watches struggle to achieve. With its superb Calibre 291 movement, striking sunburst dial and recent professional service, this is a vintage Longines that can be purchased with confidence and enjoyed for many years to come..
