What’s the one watch you wish Longines would release? I’m hoping for a white dial Hydroconquest like this

Show me your dream Longines mockup 👇🏻

Have been obsessing over the HQ for the past 2 months. Day in day out. Watching the same 3 youtube videos over and over again (Harrison Elmores videos in particular). Sold a couple of pieces in the collection to accomodate this and i could not be happier.

Had the best experience at my local AD. The only black 39 to come in in the last 45 days. Visited the same AD 3 times before just admiring and couldnt stop thinking about it. Feels so good.

Requested my AD for the wooden box too (pic3) and he came through.

Cant wait to enjoy this beauty. Dont see myself chasing anything else in the near future (famous last words maybe lol).

Got done with my workout… casually went online and BOOM! Great gift from my wife and kids 😉

Finally, after waiting months, I snagged one from Longines. I’d hurry if you’re looking for it as well.

Hydroconquest 39
Wrist: 6.75”

How often do you adjust the date?

Just picked up an “SMP300-style” rubber strap for my 39mm grey-bezel HydroConquest. I love the feel and the look, but the only downside is that the fit isn’t quite flush against the case, leaving a slight gap.
What do you guys think?

Website is dropping stock. GL

I was just looking at a Mido Ocean Star 600 DLC and I really like the look of it and was thinking if Longines should do something like this with the new HC lineup, I think it would be interesting

Dear prospective buyers of the HC39. I assure you, the wait is worth it. What you get at this price is truly incredible.

Second Longines in the collection after a Conquest V.H.P. chronograph

I have the 42mm, but wonder if it is a little large for my wrist. Should I go with the 39mm, even though I prefer the larger dial size?

Very happy with this!

Found a great second hand deal for a bit less than 1k usd, warranty still active until 2030.

Dial has Naoya Hida vibes and the numerals are engraved with Breguet vibes.

Not a movement finishing person but looks good enough to me and easily serviceable and won’t be costly.

Will be on the look out for good deals secondhand for the small seconds salmon dial of this and the sector dial heritage (and the recent monopusher, hopefully prices go down in the near future for secondhand).

Not a huge fan of a lot of contemporary longines models but some of their options are just amazing on the secondhand market for enthusiasts.

Cheers!

Figured I’d share some wrist shots from trying on the new 2026 HydroConquest models in person, since I know a lot of people are trying to decide between the 39mm and 42mm.

Blue bezel / black dial on Milanese mesh: 39mm
Green dial / green bezel on H-link bracelet: 42mm

I’ve included close-ups and photos from farther away because I think watches can look pretty different in wrist shots compared to how they actually wear in person.

Both sizes fit well, but I was surprised by how much presence the 39mm has. It definitely doesn’t feel undersized, and the mesh bracelet gives it a different look from the traditional steel bracelet.

I am personally going with the 39 mm in blue. Likely get a H-link when I get bored. Not waiting to try the grey (they were OOS) because that will make the decision even harder. And maybe I’ll get a Bruce Wayne someday to fill that color hole. Figure that size will be a unique add to the collection - bulky sports watches are plentiful!

Hopefully these photos help anyone shopping for the new HydroConquest who hasn’t had a chance to try both sizes. Also included a couple Omega pics for reference of wrist size. Not sure of my wrist size but can measure it if that helps anyone! I’m 6’1’ for reference, 200 lbs. Ring size is 12.

Hey everyone, does anyone happen to have more information about this watch? It’s surprisingly difficult to find anything about it online, no matter how deep you dig.

Last April I went into Ben Bridge in Roseville to see one of these in person. The very nice SA told me that they haven’t received any yet, and took my number down to let me know when they received a shipment. Today the SA texted me and let me know they received this one, and it’s the only one they were given so far this year. The text was chill and no pressure, pretty much it’s here if you want to look at it or buy it. I dropped what I was doing and was about to drive the 45 minutes to Roseville, when my wife texted me. She sent me a pic of some booty shorts she was trying on at Lululemon, literally 100ft from Ben Bridge! I said the shorts look great and had her walk over and grab the watch.

After months of searching finaly got my Longines

Hello everyone. Since I decided that I am an adult enough for a proper Swiss watch, I’ve spent a lot of days with gemini to help me find out the model. Longines Conquest was on top of the list. After visiting boutique - those will definitely be Conquests, but next questions appeared.
Size - after hand-to-hand comparison I would go with 41. Rubber or bracelet - bracelet as the main one and rubber for a separate accessory.
But dial color… omg I can’t choose.

Green - very interesting, almost perfect. My only fear is it will not much versatile and I am not planning to switch whole wardrobe for a watch. I.e I will not be able to wear it with orange hoodie or bright blue sweater. However with earth/grey pallette it is just phenomenal.
Black - I loved it really, light in the store were playing on it so nicely, it was not pure black but shifting from gray to brown, that polishing is doing magic. And with black dial i can buy whatever rubber strap color, both green and blue or even white. Only downside - everyone says its too boring, I tend to agree, black dial is very common among everything from smartwatch and casio.
Blue - irl I love blue and navy blue colors, but somewhat somehow it looked for me even less versatile than green, and even more classy and formal than black, cant explain it.

Champagne and white dials - out of competition for me , however on screen they are nice too.

Happy to hear your thoughts , thanks

A reminder that this watch still exists!! 😉
