At a time when Longines held more timing patents and observatory records than virtually any rival, the Conquest represented their ambition to produce watches that were both technically excellent and elegantly styled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe reference 1503 is a clean, classically proportioned example of the line, typically housed in stainless steel with a refined dial.

The watch starts up at the slightest touch and just shows how good Longines were in producing these high beat movements. The date also snaps over at midnight. There are the usual scratches to the case on a watch from the mid-1970s, and there is a scratch in the crystal at 6. The lugs and case is also unpolished and nicely angled and sharp. The tritium lume on the baton hands and the index pots also match nicely and still brightly. Just a lovely classic vintage watch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Chronicle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53936656351569,"sku":"0005","price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/4148\/5649\/files\/0005LonginesConquest-2.jpg?v=1780396282","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagechronicle.co.uk\/products\/longines-conquest","provider":"Vintage Chronicle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
