The distinctive scalloped bezel and integrated bracelet deliver a strong 1990s aesthetic, while the pristine silver dial ensures excellent daily legibility. History Longines introduced the V.H.P. (Very High Precision) line in the 1980s, pushing the boundaries of quartz technology to achieve remarkable accuracy through thermocompensation. The Conquest line served as the primary vehicle for these advanced movements, evolving through the 1990s into robust timepieces characterized by integrated bracelets and distinct bezel geometries. The addition of a perpetual calendar further positioned these models as highly capable daily watches, combining traditional watchmaking heritage with the advanced electronic precision of the era. / Second Vintage SKU: LON-CPX-0001
