Here's my Ex-Longines Automatic with very unique dial


Forgot the movement, but Caliber 19AS I guess, just like conquest's movement

 

another Longines
Conquest 18K Rose Gold with Satin/ textured Dial

 

I don't know whether it is a tropical dial or not, I just love the dial !!!

 

King Jordan...
This is my fav Longines, no date and even bigger case, 37mm

 

Longines Conquest Heritage, the one & only modern Longines that I have...

 

A bit newer than most - my 2-tone Hydroconquest:

 

Greenlander with KNIL Case Back

 

Tony,
This is stunning! Would you share the year and reference number for this one?

 

1958 18 K.

 

Let's complete the 19AS trinity .. 18K gold capped

 

If I were betting, I'd wager that should be a 900x (x = 5 or 6 most likely) with a caliber 19AS from 1956 - 1958.

 

This is my only Longines. 1962 9k gold. It became my avatar photo for a reason I can't remember now.

 

Thank you for the wager Dennis. I'll do some research on these. I'm considering adding two Longines to my collection, something along the lines of a birth year watch for my mother (1953) who passed away several years ago and a heritage reissue birth year watch for my daughter (2013). Basically, a vintage Conquest and a new Conquest, or vintage Flagship and a new Flagship. I'm going to start gathering details on what my options are to help me decide. I'm open to suggestions of course.

I imagine I could do this with a different brand, but this thread has all but convinced me Longines is the way to go.

 

You'd have to go with an All Guard if you want the 1953 version of this style. Conquest didn't come about until 1955-ish because of some problem with the name. I don't know the details but maybe @Tony C., @gatorcpa or @Bill Sohne might. It's still a 900x case (9006 mostly) with the same crown and 19AS caliber inside.

 

What a score that was! It's one of the VERY few watches I'd want more as a 19AS specimen than my current Summit 2343.

Who has first right of refusal on that one? I know we discussed it privately.

 

I don't have one yet
But I'm working on it-
