Used Longines Watch Appraisal

Longines Conquest Automatic Watch

This is a Longines Conquest automatic wristwatch, characterized by its robust stainless steel construction. The watch features a round, polished stainless steel case and an integrated three-link bracelet made of the same material, exhibiting a brushed finish on the outer links and a polished finish on the central links. The dial is a clean, metallic silver color, providing a subtle sunburst effect. It is adorned with applied silvery baton hour markers, with prominent Arabic numerals at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions, enhancing legibility. A date window is positioned at the 3 o'clock mark, framed by a delicate border. The hands are luminous, sword-shaped for the hour and minute, and a slender seconds hand. The crystal appears to be sapphire, given the clarity and typical luxury watch standards, and seems free of major scratches. The bezel is fixed and polished. Minor surface scratches are visible on the metal surfaces, particularly the bezel, case, and bracelet links, consistent with light to moderate wear. The crown, positioned at 3 o'clock, is fluted. The dial features 'LONGINES' and the winged hourglass logo at 12 o'clock, with 'AUTOMATIC' and '300m / 1000ft' printed below the central axis, indicating its automatic movement and water resistance capabilities. This style places it within a more modern era, likely late 20th to early 21st century, reflecting a contemporary sport-luxury aesthetic. The overall condition suggests regular use but no severe damage, indicating proper care. The quality of craftsmanship is visible in the finely finished case and bracelet, characteristic of Longines timepieces.
