Longines Conquest with date, without ‘Calendar’ on dial.
As far as my knowledge goes, from the 1960 onwards a Longines Conquest with date does not come with the imprint ‘Date’ or ‘Calendar’ on its dial, as enjoyed by the previous model.
The date-window for this new version sits on and not away (Longines Conquest ‘Calendar’) from the minute track, either at 3 or 12 o’clock.
The minute track is made up of only 4 segments instead 12 as found in the previous Conquest with a date range. Though not as chunky and solid-looking as the Longines Conquest ‘Calendar’, the later version is still a beauty in its own right, since it still retains its diamond-cut mirror dial. Whatever, the beauty of yesteryear timepieces are now sought after not only by collectors and but also, young executives who want to look different.
nice vintage watch!
Hi
Thanks for your comment and I appreciate it. Indeed, it is a lovely watch.
Not bad article, but I really miss that you didn’t express your opinion, but ok you just have different approach
Hi
Thanks for your comment and should I express my opinion, it may not carry much weight, since more than likely it is going to be based on my experience and exposure.
Wonderful insight
Hi renaissance clothing
Thanks for your lovely comment and I greatly appreciate it.
I was scanning something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your perspective on it is diametrically contradicted to what I read in the first place. I am still reflecting over the different points of view, but I’m inclined to a great extent toward yours. And no matter, that’s what is so good about modernized democracy and the marketplace of thoughts online.
Hi Ethyl Cloer
