    By staying so accurate to the watch's legacy, its easier to see it as a continuum, therefore "1954-2014", as opposed to it being mere "replica", as some commentators have opined about re-releases of other watch companies. A pity that it should be a limited edition and not a mainstay though.

    Super nice !!!! Longines did the right thing with this design.
    How come Omega could not do the same thing with its Constellation deluxe? ::facepalm1::

    They have a couple nice ones as mentioned in the article, including a pink gold version.

    There's a Heritage 1935 Edition coming too.

    I love these year's novelties and these 2 are my absolute favorite. But what's bugging me is didn't they already have earlier heritage versions of the Conquests? Is Longines just milking the vintage cash cow?

    Well, I think it is about time that I treat my not so long acquired Conquest to a new plexi

    And while at it, could somebody please give me a hint about where can I get a proper crown for my newly acquired 291?

    Nice! :thumbsup:

    Good luck finding a scalloped gold crown. You'll (unfortunately) need it.

    As someone new to Longines longing,...er, collecting (yeah, that's it!), I am impressed by the new models-classic style, clean designs, and great options (deluxe, RG, etc.). And at 35 mm, they will fit nicely on many a wrist (wait, someone will complain about them being "too small"...). Any ideas as to MSRP on the new models?
