Fusing track-inspired Swiss chronometric engineering with modern sports-luxe prestige, the Longines Conquest Automatic Chronograph 42mm L38354026 delivers an authoritative, versatile statement in masculine luxury wristwear. Encased in an assertive 42.00 mm surgical-grade 316L stainless steel case crowned by a fixed green ceramic bezel with an engraved tachymeter scale, this timepiece pairs bold architectural presence with refined ergonomic contours. The dial features an anti-reflective silver-matte opaline base accented by three contrasting circular-grained (snailed) forest-green subdial counters in an iconic "panda" configuration, framed by applied silver-polished indices and faceted hands inlaid with Swiss Super-LumiNova. Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with multi-layered anti-reflective coating on both sides, it is powered by the in-house Longines Calibre L898.5 automatic mechanical chronograph movement. Fitted with an anti-magnetic monocrystalline silicon balance spring, this high-beat engine delivers an autonomous 59-hour power reserve visible through a transparent exhibition case back. Mounted on an integrated 316L stainless steel bracelet secured by a triple-safety folding deployant clasp with push-piece release, it is water-resistant to 100 metres (10 ATM) and backed by Longines’ extended 5-year international manufacturer warranty.

Design & Craftsmanship
Sports-Luxe Heritage & The 42mm Conquest Chronograph Architecture
First unveiled in 1954 as Longines' first officially registered product collection protected by the Swiss Federal Intellectual Property Office, the Conquest line stands as an enduring symbol of athletic achievement and horological endurance. In reference L3.835.4.02.6, the modern Conquest Chronograph celebrates this pedigree within a contemporary 42.00 mm diameter and 14.30 mm case height. The surgical-grade 316L stainless steel case features vertical satin-brushed flanks contrasted by high-polished chamfers along the lugs, flanked by ergonomic pump pushers that deliver crisp, positive mechanical engagement when actuating the chronograph complication.
Matte Silver & Forest Green "Panda" Dial Contrast with Ceramic Bezel
The dial reinterprets classic vintage motorsport timing aesthetics through a distinctive modern palette. The frosted silver-matte dial base neutralizes ambient glare, creating a clean canvas for the three circular-grained (snailed) green sub-registers: a running seconds counter at 3 o'clock, a 12-hour totalizer at 6 o'clock, and a 30-minute counter at 9 o'clock. Framing the dial, applied faceted silver-polished indices and tapered baton hands are generously treated with Swiss Super-LumiNova for rapid low-light readability. Surrounding the crystal, the fixed stainless steel bezel is fitted with a mirror-polished green ceramic insert engraved with a crisp tachymeter scale that will not scratch or fade over decades of active wear.
Calibre L898.5 Silicon Precision & Solid Stainless Steel H-Link Bracelet
Beating beneath the dial is the Longines Calibre L898.5 self-winding mechanical chronograph movement. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) across 37 synthetic rubies, it generates an autonomous power reserve of up to 59 hours. The movement is fitted with an anti-magnetic monocrystalline silicon balance spring, shielding the regulating organ against everyday magnetic interference from computers, smartphones, and magnetic clasps. The watch is paired with an integrated 316L stainless steel H-link bracelet featuring satin-brushed outer rows and polished center links, securing firmly to the wrist with a triple-safety folding deployant clasp equipped with push-piece releases.
