I know more about the 1954 through 1959 version, but this looks good to me, I don’t see any red flags.

I think it looks fine and in my experience, Longines dials all seem to wear well

Hi there,
Printing quality on the dial seems excellent. However, one thing I notice is that I've never seen this reference with the q of "Conquest" crossing the o of "automatic". Can anyone chime in on whether this could be font variation?

For reference, this one was sold on OF:

PS: I think it could be the angles, but the lume plot at 6 seems slightly off-center?

Agree with you... Though, I'm more into the 50s ones.
I'll tend to say it is a redial. The conquest font seems too thin, and the Longines too thick...

And as pointed out, the 6 o'clock and also the 1 o'clock lime plots are not aligned. I checked the other pictures, and seems out of lines in different angles.

Other more seasoned members, much more clever than me, will surely better assess it
