Longines Conquest Silver Matt with Green Counters Dial Men 42mm L38354029

Blending high-performance Swiss horological engineering with contemporary sports-luxe distinction, the Longines Conquest Automatic Chronograph 42mm L38354029 brings a vibrant, vintage motorsport-inspired character to the wrist. 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 combines bold architectural presence with refined ergonomic contours. The dial features an anti-reflective silver-matte base accented by three contrasting snailed forest-green subdial counters arranged in a classic "panda" layout, 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 faces, it is driven by the in-house Longines Calibre L898.5 automatic mechanical chronograph movement. Engineered 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 green textured rubber strap secured by a double-safety folding clasp with push-piece micro-adjustment, 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, the Conquest line embodies endurance, performance, and refined elegance. In reference L3.835.4.02.9, the modern Conquest Chronograph celebrates that sporting legacy within a contemporary 42.00 mm silhouette. With a substantial 14.30 mm case height and contoured, downward-curving lugs, the watch commands strong visual authority while distributing weight evenly across the wrist. The surgical-grade steel case features vertical satin brushing along the flanks contrasted by high-polished bevels, flanked by ergonomic pump pushers that deliver crisp, positive mechanical engagement when operating 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 intuitive night-time reading. The fixed stainless steel bezel is crowned with a mirror-polished green ceramic insert, engraved with a crisp white tachymeter scale that will not scratch or fade over decades of active wear.

Calibre L898.5 Precision & Ergonomic Rubber Clasp Engineering

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 timepiece is paired with an integrated green rubber strap fitted with a double-security folding clasp featuring an intuitive micro-adjustment slider, allowing you to expand or contract the strap length effortlessly to accommodate natural wrist swelling in varying climates.
