A refined example of 1970s Swiss watchmaking, this Longines Conquest Ref. 1558-1 combines elegant proportions with a distinctive cushion-shaped case. Produced in 1974, it is powered by the respected Longines Caliber 6942, a high-beat manual-winding movement known among collectors for its smooth operation and hacking seconds with a zero-reset function when the crown is pulled.

The clean white dial is complemented by applied gold-tone Arabic numerals and slim baton hands, creating a timeless aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from formal to casual wear. Its gold-plated case develops a warm vintage character, while the brown leather strap completes the classic look.

At 36.5mm, the watch wears comfortably on modern wrists, offering a balanced presence without feeling oversized. Whether you’re an experienced collector or searching for your first vintage Longines, the Conquest delivers understated elegance backed by one of Switzerland’s most celebrated watchmakers.
