Incoming Longines Hydro Conquest ceramic

Hi all,

I was looking to add a two tone piece to my collection and lately I have been favouring the rubber/deployment look.

I came across this at the Longines boutique and for the price they are hard to beat. These have an RRP of £1,610 and easily available for less. 41mm come with a ceramic bezel and a modified ETA movement.

I went for the grey/rose gold version and I think this is the pick of the bunch! First impressions, a very solid timepiece that is very versatile on the strap, well made by a respected brand.

Enjoy the pics!

Congrats!

These watches offer a lot of value. I'll be picking one up soon, just can't decide on color. I was certain I was going to get the SS olive green, now I'm starting to think about the SS grey dial or even the TT rose/grey that you have. Decisions...

Indeed! At these prices maybe the right choice is one TT and one SS. Also if it helps I think the rubber strap works better than a bracelet.

LOL only on this forum is the correct answer BOTH

Agree on the rubber strap. I'm not that impressed with the bracelet and I just think the watch looks better on rubber.

That's a nice looking Longines.

From the title, I was thinking it was the black full ceramic case version. :)

Congratulations. I'm personally not a big fan of two tone watches but the rose gold with the grey dial looks pretty good and the watch is a great value. Enjoy!

Yes hence why I avoided the bracelet, on the strap however it is very subtle. In terms of value if you pick this up via grey markets you can do no wrong.

I have the SS 43mm of the grey on grey and it’s hard to beat its value

41 or 43 mm with a tons of different versions in terms of dials and bracelets there is something for everyone. I hope you are enjoying yours!

Thanks - the strap is very comfortable and it creates a seamless watch with it being integrated also matching the dial.
