Swiss watchmaker Longines has recently launched Conquest VHP quartz watch collection featuring an in-built system that resynchronises the hands after exposure to a shock or a magnetic field which marks a milestone for quartz technology.
The new watches are equipped with a movement developed by the ETA manufacturing company exclusively for Longines. This movement is renowned for its high degree of precision for an analog watch (± 5 s/yr) and its ability to reset its hands after an impact or exposure to a magnetic field, using the GPD (gear position detection) system. A very long battery life and a perpetual calendar are among the features of the new line. In the true essence of Conquest, the ultimate sports line, this timepiece brings together high technicality and dynamic aesthetic.
These steel watches are available in the 3 hands/calendar (41mm and 43mm diameter cases) and chronograph (42mm and 44mm diameter cases) versions. The chronograph displays hours, minutes and seconds, a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock and a 60-second counter in the centre. On each model, changes are made using the intelligent crown, while the EOL indicator can preventatively signal the end of battery life. The Conquest VHP collection models display blue, carbon, silvered or black dials with a steel bracelet with a folding safety clasp.
