    Longines Conquest Calendar 19ASD


    at a glance
    Conquest ref. 9004
    - serial no. 988xxxx dates back to ca. 1955
    - cal. 19ASD
    - original dial with yellow gold arrow head hour markers and yellow gold dauphine hands
    - solid steel case (35,2 mm without crown)
    - signed original crown
    - gold medallion on caseback "Fish in Kelp" Longines Seal of Quality
    - new alligator grain strap (Rios Germany)

    the dial
    The original dial of this Conquest is in very good condition, very clean with only minor spotting which is only visible in some angles of light. Dial and hands still have original lume which has aged nicely to a golden brown patina.

    the case

    The stainless steel case is in good condition with sharp lugs without any dings or dents. All edges and chamfers still present and only eith superficial scratches.
    The caseback shows some light scratches. The gold medallion on the back "fish in kelp" still holds all of it's enamel but shows some arm polishing.

    the movement
    Clean Longines in-house caliber ref. 19ASD. The watch winds and sets very smooth and the movement is running strong, but there is no known service history and therewith it would benefit from a fresh clean and oil if you want to wear it regularly.

    the strap
    The Conquest comes on a new high quality Rios Alligator grain strap.

    the price
    I am asking 849 EUR (or the equivalent in USD) to me for this nice and iconic 1955 Conquest. Bankwire is preferred, paypal please add 4% (payment to be done in Euro please in case of paypal). The watch and I are located in Germany. I will be happy to work out the best shipping option with you. Free signed and insured EMS shipping is included.

    I have references here on OF, on German watch forums and a lot of positive feedback on ebay.

    Thanks for looking!:) and also many thanks to OF for the possibility to offer!:thumbsup:

    Funny, I saw your post, and I though it was going to be a call-out on posting ‘two in 24’ :p

    Best of luck on getting it!
    It is quite nice
