FAQs
Is the Longines Conquest waterproof?
It is water-resistant up to 100 metres, making it suitable for swimming and showering, but it is not intended for deep-sea professional diving.
What type of movement is in this watch?
This model is powered by a high-precision Swiss quartz movement.
Does the watch have a luminous dial?
The hands and indices are typically treated with luminescent material to provide readability in low-light conditions.
How often should the battery be replaced?
Typical battery life for this movement is approximately 2 to 3 years depending on usage.
Can I change the strap myself?
While the strap can be changed, it is recommended to have a professional jeweler perform the swap to avoid scratching the stainless steel lugs.
What does the sandblasted finish do?
The sandblasted finish gives the dial a matte, granular appearance that helps reduce reflections and provides a modern, understated look.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped moving
The battery likely needs replacing; visit an authorized Longines service center for a professional battery change and seal inspection.
Date is incorrect
Pull the crown to the first position and rotate it clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the model settings) to advance the date until the current day is displayed.
Cloudy crystal or smudges
Clean the crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth and a small amount of mild soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile 38mm size fits most wrists comfortably
- High-precision quartz reliability
- Excellent readability due to anti-reflective coating
- Robust water resistance up to 100 metres
- Timeless design inspired by the 1954 original

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting the time and date on the Longines Conquest is straightforward. Simply pull the crown to the first position to adjust the date, and the second position to set the hour and minute hands. Because this watch uses a quartz movement, avoid placing it directly against high-powered magnetic devices to ensure long-term accuracy. For care, rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or perspiration to prevent salt buildup on the case. Use a soft microfiber cloth to keep the sapphire crystal clean of fingerprints, and store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use.
