The Ultra-Chron collection adopts carbon: an innovative material that is both strong and light, and now being used for the first time in a Longines watch case. Powered by a Longines’ exclusive high-frequency movement, beating at 36 000 vibrations per hour, this model draws inspiration from an iconic 1968 watch with a distinctive cushion-shaped case. Combining innovation and precision, each Ultra-Chron Carbon offers a unique design and is fully chronometer-certified by TIMELAB.

Launched in 1968, the Ultra-Chron Diver made history as the first diver’s watch to feature a high-frequency movement. At the time, Longines had already established itself as an expert in this technology, having patented it in 1910 for use in sports timekeeping.

In 2022, the brand unveiled a new generation Ultra-Chron, which paid tribute to the 1968 model while incorporating the latest technological innovations.

Today, Longines continues to innovate by introducing a new Ultra-Chron model with a carbon case, a first for the brand. This material, known for being both ultra-resistant and lightweight, is widely used in cutting-edge industries such as aeronautics, a field with which Longines has been closely associated for over a century. The 43 mm-diameter case is crafted from strips of unidirectional carbon fibre and epoxy resin, which are then placed into a mould and heated to a high temperature, compressed under high pressure, and finally cold-cut. It then takes on the iconic cushion shape of the Ultra-Chron case.

This unique manufacturing process creates random patterns in the layout of the fibres, making each case visually unique and giving it a strong identity. Thanks to carbon’s lightweight properties, this new model weighs less than 80 grams, including both the watch and strap. It is water-resistant up to 30 bars (300 metres).

The titanium bezel is fixed and features an aluminium insert engraved with a scale numbered in increments of 10. The case back and screw-down crown are also in titanium. Beneath a sapphire crystal with multi-layer anti-reflective treatment, the sand-blasted anthracite dial features a chapter ring marked by twelve applied silver indexes. These, along with the grey PVD hour and minute hands, are coated with a Super-LumiNova® blue luminescence treatment.

Like the other models in the collection, the Ultra-Chron Carbon is powered by the exclusive Longines high-frequency calibre L.836.6. This movement oscillates at 5 Hertz, or 36 000 vibrations per hour. Compared with conventional mechanical movements, it offers greater stability in response to shocks and changes in position caused by wearing the watch. Equipped with a silicon balance-spring and innovative components, this calibre is also up to ten times more resistant to magnetic fields than the ISO 764 standard.

This watch is also fully certified as a chronometer by TIMELAB, an accredited independent watch testing laboratory in Geneva.

In keeping with the ISO 3159 standard, the qualification process subjects the finished product to a 15-day testing period during which the entire watch is put through a series of functional tests in various positions, repeated at three different temperatures, 8°C, 23°C and 38°C, to confirm its accuracy.

The Ultra-Chron Carbon is fitted with a black technical fabric strap featuring a titanium buckle. Embracing dark tones, the watch is presented in a bespoke black box.

 A special edition for the Year of the Snake

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

To celebrate the Year of the Snake in 2025, LONGINES has launched a special edition of its CONQUEST HERITAGE model. Renowned Chinese artist Wu Jian'an was invited to create a unique design featuring a mystical snake holding a Lingzhi mushroom in its mouth, intricately engraved on the case back. In East Asian culture, the snake symbolizes elegance, wisdom and transformation. Known for its intuition and resilience, the snake also symbolizes rebirth and encourages reflection and personal growth. Limited to 2,025 pieces, the CONQUEST HERITAGE YEAR OF THE SNAKE features a gradient red dial accentuated by the collection's signature gilt hands and indexes.

The snake holds a significant place in East Asian culture, symbolising wisdom, rebirth and infinite vitality. It represents hope for a bright future. In honour of the lunar Year of the Snake, Longines has collaborated with Chinese artist Wu Jian'an to reinterpret the story of ‘Stealing the Immortal Herb’ from the famous Chinese tale ‘The Legend of the White Snake’. Wu's design, titled ‘Divine Snake Presents Treasure’, combines the depth of East Asian cultural heritage with a contemporary artistic expression. The emblem depicts a snake clutching a Lingzhi mushroom, its form spiralling into concentric circles, evoking ripples that symbolise the passage of time and the continuity of life.

The ‘Divine Snake Presents Treasure’ emblem conveys wishes for harmony and prosperity, while also reflecting Longines’ commitment to blending tradition with innovation. This cultural fusion highlights the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship while embracing modern creativity.

In celebration of the Year of the Wood Snake, Longines has engraved this unique design on the back of a special Conquest Heritage model, limited to 2,025 pieces.

Evoking a spirit of daring and creativity, the Conquest collection became the first Longines watch line to have its name trademarked in 1954. Celebrating the first Conquest models, the Conquest Heritage line appeals to all lovers of vintage design, effortlessly blending the classic style of the 1950s with modern watchmaking technology. The new Conquest Heritage Year of the Snake honours this legacy while incorporating traditional East Asian elements.

The watch features a 40 mm stainless steel case with an angled screwed-down case back, engraved with a unique snake motif symbolising good fortune. Its vibrant sunray gradient red domed dial is adorned with gilt hands and indexes, creating a dazzling display that perfectly complements moments of New Year celebration and reunion. The Conquest Heritage Year of the Snake is powered by the exclusive Longines L888.5 calibre, equipped with a silicon balance-spring and innovative components that ensure a magnetic resistance ten times greater than the ISO 764 reference standard.

LONGINES – Conquest HERITAGE Central Power Reserve 70th Anniversary

LONGINES – Conquest HERITAGE Central Power Reserve 38mm Stainless Steel Automatic 70th Anniversary

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

To mark the 70th anniversary of its emblematic Conquest collection, Longines is presenting the new Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve, inspired by an iconic model from the late 1950s. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Unique in the world of watchmaking, its power reserve is displayed on rotating discs in the centre of the dial. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Available in champagne, anthracite or black, this singular timepiece testifies to the brand’s technical excellence and timeless elegance.

An evocation of daring and of creative spirit, the Conquest collection was the first Longines watch line to have its name protected, in 1954, by the Federal Intellectual Property Office in Berne (Switzerland). 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Self-winding and waterresistant from the outset, the Conquest line has always been associated with the world of sport and achievement. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Symbolising this spirit of conquest, the collection was expanded in 1959 to include a model with a one-of-a-kind power reserve indicator, consisting of two rotating discs located in the centre of the dial.

To mark the 70th anniversary of the Conquest collection (1954-2024), Longines is reimagining this classic with the new Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

A striking tribute to the historic model, the power reserve is revealed on two rotating discs in the centre of the dial. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

This unique process, invented by Longines and used exclusively by the brand, places the power reserve indicator on the central uncoiling disc. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

In the shape of a baton widened at the top, it indicates the movement’s depletion level on the external coiling disc, graduated from ‘64’ to ‘0’. It reveals the balance of power-reserve hours available, or in other words, the watch's remaining running time. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Rewinding can be done either by turning the crown or moving the wrist, causing the coiling disc to rotate. The aesthetics of the dial thus change continuously, creating an original poetic effect of the passage of time.

This innovative mechanism echoes the long history of Longines watches with rotating discs, such as the hour-angle models developed for the aeronautical industry in the late 1920s.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Available in champagne, anthracite or black, the three-part dial of the Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve is edged on its fixed part by twelve yellow gold-coloured, rose goldcoloured or silver-coloured applied facetted hour markers.

 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

In keeping with the characteristic circles motif of the Conquest collection, a fine circular thread carries the facetted hourmarkers and separates the minute track on the fixed dial. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Another feature of this model is that the date is displayed at 12 o'clock in a date window decorated with a trapezoid-shaped applique. Like the hour markers whose colours they adopt, the unusual skyscraper-style hour and minute hands are coated with Super-LumiNova®.

Demonstrating the watchmaking expertise and timeless elegance of the winged hourglass brand, the Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve is powered by the new exclusive Longines L896.5 calibre, visible via the transparent screw-down case back.

Equipped with a silicon balance-spring and innovative components, this self-winding mechanical movement offers a magnetic resistance up to ten times greater than the ISO 764 benchmark standard.

The completely redesigned 38 mm steel case, with alternating satin-finished and polished surfaces, is topped by a box sapphire crystal with multi-layer anti-reflective treatment on both sides.

LONGINES – HERITAGE Pilot Majetek Chronometer

LONGINES – HERITAGE Avigation Pilot MAJETEK Steel 43mm Chronometer - 2023

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

   A return to the essence of the pilot's watch: The new LONGINES PILOT MAJETEK

With the Longines Pilot Majetek, the winged hourglass brand is putting its name to the return of a watch designed for aviation and appreciated by a wider audience. 

This new timepiece combines a spirit of adventure and a historical dimension without ignoring 21%-century aesthetic and technical codes. Its bi-directional fluted bezel mounted on a cushion-shaped steel case asserts its original character and evokes the 1935 model that inspired it.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

With a history of more than 190 years, Longines can draw on an incomparable heritage. The brand's iconic pilot's and explorer’s instrument watches, with their cutting-edge technical features, are the prestigious proof of this. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

The winged-hourglass brand can thus offer enthusiasts of fine mechanical watches timepieces whose DNA is rooted in the characteristic aesthetics of the brand's historic models. Longines combines these with contemporary expertise, to measure time with the undisputed precision and reliability for which it is renowned. The design of the Longines Pilot Majetek is a perfect example of this.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO    

In its first version, the curved cushion shape of its case underlines its unique design, registered on 1 April 1935 at the International Industrial Property Office in Bern, Switzerland. Although intended for aviators, this watch has in the past attracted a wider audience seeking a reliable, robust, precise and easy-to-read watch.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The technical and ergonomic features of the new Longines Pilot Majetek have been completely overhauled. Its revised proportions, original slightly curved cushion shape and more rounded lugs are in keeping with current trends. Its 43mm diameter delivers outstanding wearer comfort.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

At 9 o'clock, the outside of the steel case, which has a screw-in back, is fitted with a commemorative plate marked “1935”. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This refers to the original date of the first Longines “Majetek” model, and conceals a newly patented gear mechanism. It guarantees the water-resistance of 10 bar (100 m) of the external fluted rotating bezel system coupled with the internal fluorescent mobile triangle marker, or “Starting time indicator”. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

The latter is displayed below the sapphire crystal, from which it is independent, and above the dial. On the 1935 model, the bezel and the crystal with the marker rotated as a unit. On the current model, the sapphire glass is fixed and contributes to the water-resistance of the new case.

A watch with defined codes

Like watches designed specifically for aviators, the new Longines Pilot Majetek has a matte black dial offering optimum legibility. The white Arabic numerals, coated with Super-LumiNova® old radium, indicate the hours, highlighted by a railway minute marker. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

Rhodium-tipped baton hands move across them. They are phosphorescent, ensuring optimal night-time legibility. The oversized small seconds dial, lowered into the dial at 6 o'clock, is a reminder, together with the fluted bezel, of the original functional character of this pilot's watch. The overall effect is well-balanced and the watch exudes elegance.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

 Powered by the exclusive Longines L893.6 calibre equipped with a magnetically resistant silicon balance spring, the new Longines Pilot Majetek has a 72-hour power reserve. The entire watch head is chronometer-certified by the Contréle Officiel Suisse des Chronomeétres (COSC), an independent control body. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

This timepiece has a two-stitch strap, available in a choice of brown or green leather with beige topstitching. A NATO-type strap made of polyester fibre, created from recycled materials, is also available. With its strong character, the Longines Pilot Majetek is ideal both for everyday wear and for all your upcoming adventures, at any and every latitude.
