Longines VHP

Longines VHP Watch Specifications

The Longines Conquest VHP series exemplifies the brand's pursuit of technical mastery and elegant design. These watches are equipped with intelligent movement mechanisms that sense exposure to magnetic fields and automatically readjust the hands to ensure perfect timing. The GPD (Gear Position Detection) technology guarantees exact hand alignment, while the perpetual calendar needs no adjustment until the year 2399.

Materials

The Longines Conquest VHP collection employs premium materials throughout its construction, with cases crafted from high-grade stainless steel. The sophisticated finishing combines polished and brushed surfaces, creating an elegant interplay of light that enhances the watch's premium appearance while ensuring durability for daily wear.

Every timepiece is outfitted with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal featuring multiple layers of anti-reflective coating, ensuring outstanding clarity and protection. The case backs are secured using screw-down technology, enhancing the watch's water resistance while preserving its sophisticated design.

Movement

The exclusive L288 movement, developed by ETA specifically for Longines, represents a technological masterpiece in quartz timekeeping. This thermocompensated caliber achieves a remarkable accuracy of ±5 seconds per year through advanced temperature sensing and compensation systems, setting new standards for precision in luxury timepieces.

The movement integrates cutting-edge features that boost both overall functionality and dependability. The flash-setting function allows for quick time zone changes, while the built-in magnetic field detection system realigns the hands after exposure to magnetic forces, ensuring reliable accuracy in contemporary settings.

Dial

The Conquest VHP showcases sophisticated dial designs that merge functionality with refined aesthetics. Available in classic black, sunburst silver, carbon fiber pattern, and deep blue variants, each dial demonstrates Longines' attention to detail through carefully applied finishes and precise construction techniques.

The dial design emphasizes readability while maintaining aesthetic balance, showcasing applied indices with Super-LumiNova treatment for improved visibility in dim lighting. A perpetual calendar display is unobtrusively positioned at 3 o'clock, enhancing the overall look while delivering essential functionality without compromising the dial's sleek design.

Watch Bands

The versatility of the Conquest VHP extends to its bracelet options, each designed to complement the watch's sporty-elegant character:

• Metal Bracelets: Three-link stainless steel bracelets with brushed outer links and polished center links, secured by a double safety folding clasp with an integrated push-piece.
• Rubber Straps: Black or blue rubber straps with textured surfaces, providing comfort and durability for active wear.

Sizes

The Longines Conquest VHP collection offers thoughtfully proportioned case dimensions that balance presence with wearability. Each size variant is carefully engineered to maintain the watch's elegant profile while ensuring optimal comfort for daily wear. The collection provides options to suit different preferences and wrist sizes.
