Manic Fixie Watches: A Love Letter to Fixed Lug Timepieces
Longines Conquest Heritage Cenral Power Reserve
Evoking bravery and creative spirit, the Conquest Heritage line pays tribute to the earliest models, blending the distinctive style of the 1950s with contemporary watchmaking expertise.
This 38-mm model is powered by the exclusive Longines calibre L896.5, a self winding mechanical movement equipped with a silicon balance-spring, delivering a power reserve of up to 72 hours. Its light blue opaline dial features a unique central power reserve display inspired by an iconic Longines design from the late 1950s.
At the centre of the dial, a rotating disc with a baton shaped indicator reveals the remaining power reserve on an external disc graduated from ‘64’ to ‘0’, animating the dial with a striking visual effect as time passes. Silvered hands and indexes treated with Super-LumiNova® ensure optimum legibility.
Water-resistant up to 5 bar (50 metres), this timepiece is presented on a grey leather strap secured with a heritage pin buckle, reinforcing its vintage character while offering refined everyday comfort.
