Experience the golden era of Swiss luxury horology with this rare and highly collectible vintage Longines Conquest Calendar Reference 9007. Originally introduced in the mid-to-late 1950s, the Conquest was Longines’ premier flagship line, engineered to challenge the highest echelons of precision chronometry and durable elegance. Representing one of the manufacture’s earliest automatic calendar wristwatches, Reference 9007 holds a revered position among discerning vintage watch enthusiasts.

Coveted Black Dial with Faceted Indices

While most mid-century Conquests were delivered with silver or champagne dials, this example features an exceptionally rare black dial that has gracefully matured with an honest, warm charcoal-matte patina. The dial is adorned with applied yellow-gold faceted trapezoid hour markers and applied Arabic numerals at 12, 6, and 9, each complemented by distinct luminous triangular plots. Framing the 3 o’clock position is a metallic-bordered date aperture. Polished gilt dauphine hands sweep across the face, accented by the historic Longines winged hourglass emblem and authentic cursive “Conquest Calendar” typography.

Gold-Capped Case Architecture & Sculpted Lugs

The timepiece is housed in an authentic gold-capped case measuring approximately 35mm in diameter. Renowned for durability, Longines’ gold-capped construction fused a thick, resilient layer of solid gold over a robust stainless steel foundation, offering lasting beauty far superior to standard electroplating. The case features wide chamfered lugs, a stepped bezel, and strong geometric wrist presence. Its classic vintage dress proportions allow it to transition effortlessly between formal business tailoring and sophisticated weekend wear.

In-House Longines Calibre 19ASD Automatic Movement

Beneath the caseback beats Longines’ legendary in-house Calibre 19ASD automatic movement. Operating at 18,000 vibrations per hour with 19 jewels and Incabloc shock protection, this mechanical engine represents the height of Longines’ independent movement manufacturing before the quartz era. Winding smoothly with the natural kinetic movement of your wrist, this self-winding caliber provides dependable power reserve and mechanical precision.

Paired with a premium dark espresso genuine leather strap, this vintage Longines 9007 automatic represents an exceptional acquisition. With its rare dial configuration, unpolished case integrity, and in-house movement provenance, this gold capped vintage Longines dress watch is a timeless addition to any serious horological collection
