Dear OF,

Up for your consideration is my very sharp Longines Conquest. The case is used but among the sharpest I've seen and the medaillon is largely intact, opposed to what you typically see with these refs. I think this is one of the most attractive dials ever designed and I'm only selling it off because I own a ref. 9000 with rose gold details, that I decided I'd prefer to keep.


The watch contains radium on the dial and in the hands, but it was used sparingly. It would appear the watch has seen some moisture in the past, which explains the nearly black (though very attractive, for it matches the hands) lume in the hands, as well as the freckled dial. The markers on these models are in solid 18K gold, in this instance white gold.


The patina is evenly distributed and never really caught my eye on the wrist. I even paired it with a custom pigskin strap to match the texture. Needless to say, the high resolution pictures highlight every imperfection. Consider these pictures in varying lighting conditions.


And please make sure to watch the video in 2K and 60fps, too!

The crown is signed Longines and this perspective nicely shows the scalloped caseback, as well the 'bear claw' lugs.


The cal. 19AS movement runs very well.

The watch and I are located in The Netherlands.

Hi there, yes the lugs are 18mm. It is 35mm in diameter excluding the crown.
