A handsome men’s vintage Longines Conquest, complete with TV dial and original fitted box. Model reference 1014.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
We sent Longines heritage department details of this watch, including pictures of the dial, case back and movement, and they have confirmed this Conquest watch was sold to their UK distributor Baume & Co. in 1974.
CONDITION
When you find a manual winding box still with the original crown that doesn’t appear worn much, it is likely the watch wasn’t worn much either. Crowns are high wear items when you have to wind the watch daily, and while they can be replaced there is nothing else on this watch that looks to have had a hrd life. The gold plated buckle is original and great, the case shows no wear to the plating, and the chances are the watch has spent a considerable part of its life in the box. The calibre 6952 movement is running sweetly, and the quick set date is also functioning perfectly. The dial is clean, and has no lume at all. The strap is new.
This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
