The Longines Conquest V.H.P. (Very High Precision) collection is a modern iteration of the brand’s commitment to extreme accuracy, reflecting their heritage in quartz technology dating back to the 1980s. Launched in 2017, the V.H.P. line continues Longines' tradition of pushing the boundaries of precision, with movements designed to offer exceptionally low rates of deviation—just ±5 seconds per year, far exceeding the accuracy of standard quartz movements. The collection appeals to those who seek precision, innovation, and functionality in a refined, sporty design.
Features And Design
The Conquest V.H.P. collection is designed with a contemporary aesthetic while maintaining Longines' renowned elegance. Case sizes are available in 41mm and 43mm, catering to a modern audience with a preference for slightly larger, sportier watches. Crafted in stainless steel, the cases are robust yet refined, offering a sporty edge without compromising on sophistication. The dials are available in various finishes, including black, blue, silver, and carbon, each providing a sleek and legible backdrop for the applied hour markers and hands coated with Super-LumiNova.
Iterations And Movements
At the heart of the Conquest V.H.P. watches is Longines' proprietary quartz V.H.P. movement, which offers unparalleled precision in quartz timekeeping. In addition to the remarkable ±5 seconds per year accuracy, the movement is equipped with GPD (Gear Position Detection) technology, which allows the watch to automatically reset its hands following an impact or exposure to a magnetic field. The collection includes various iterations, such as three-hand models with a date window, as well as more complex chronographs for those who seek additional functionality. The Conquest V.H.P. Chronograph models offer precision timing with the same high-accuracy quartz movement, complete with a horizontal tri-compax display.
