Longines Watches – Classic Elegance and Performance

Longines , a traditional company that has been active since 1832, is one of the oldest Swiss quality watch manufacturers. Longines watches are known for their winged hourglass logo and excellent value for money. The selection includes both classic models and sports watches that underline performance. The most popular watch models of the Longines brand are Longines HydroConquest , Longines Conquest and Longines Flagship .

Longines as a pioneer in time measurement of its time

Longines relies heavily on tradition, where as a pioneer in the field it has always strived to develop the most accurate tools of its time for the professionals who need them. Founded in 1832 in Saint Imier, Switzerland, the company started as an agency, but quickly switched to watchmaking and from there to timekeeping. It released the first chronograph pocket watch in 1878 and by the end of the 1880s it could already measure time with an accuracy of one-fifth of a second.

Longines was a pioneer in time measurement of its time, which quickly expanded its activities from horse racing to manufacturing instruments for pilots, explorers and athletes. Today, Longines is especially known as the official timekeeper for horse racing, alpine skiing, gymnastics and archery.

Longines watch collections are divided into two categories, classic models and sports watches. In both categories, Longines offers luxury and performance watches at a moderate price range, and perhaps even one of the best value for money compared to many other watch brands. Longines is part of the Swatch Group, which guarantees it access to very high-quality movements. Next, we present the most popular watch models of the Longines brand in more detail: the more sporty collection includes the HydroConquest and Conquest models and the Longines Flagship model representing the classic style.

Longines released its first diver's watch in the late 1950s and has since released several models in this category. The Longines HydroConquest is a popular diver's watch whose features guarantee performance even in demanding conditions, but which due to its style is also suitable as a dress watch.

The HydroConquest models have the features required of a competent sports watch. Its water resistance class is up to 300 meters, it has a screw-locking pull knob, a unidirectional sturdy bezel and strong luminescence on the hands, indexes and bezel. The wheel-like edge of the watch ring is not only recognizable, it also provides grip for rotating the ring in different conditions. HydroConquest models are available with both a sturdy metal strap and a lighter rubber strap. The collection was recently expanded with new, more colorful models, such as the Two Tone models combining steel and yellow or rose gold.

Longines is known for its legendary watch models, of which the brand has made numerous reinterpretations in recent years.
