Longines Conquest Owner Review : Robust, casual and reliable

The Longines Conquest GMT is the first Swiss watch I bought. It was this one, along with the first watches of my adolescence (Seiko, Casio) that got me started in watchmaking. I was looking for a Swiss watch, with a recognized watchmaking history, automatic and with, if possible, a complication that was a bit nice and different from what we see, like dates or days. All that in a "content" budget, namely under the 1500€ mark. I found all that in this Longines. Its blue sunray dial is magnificent and the red hand of the second time zone contrasts with the dial and gives it a sporty side. You should know that this watch is quite thick and quite heavy to wear. Despite these two small flaws (as well as a slightly noisy oscillating weight but hey...), it remains quite pleasant to wear and remains a special piece in my eyes. It is water-resistant to 5 Bars, remains relatively precise over the hours and days, which makes it a perfect "daily". She is and will remain the one who made me put my finger in the Watchmaking gears.
