Longines launches Conquest Chrono Ski Edition

Longines presented the Conquest Chrono Ski Edition to mark the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2025. The price of ref.L3.836.4.52.9 is €4,750

As the Official Partner of the International Ski Federation (FIS), Longines is linked with major alpine skiing events, including the upcoming FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, scheduled from 4 to 16 February 2025 in Saalbach, Austria.

To mark this prestigious biennial event, the winged-hourglass watchmaker is introducing the Conquest Chrono Ski Edition, a sport chronograph limited to 2,025 pieces.

This new model comes in a 42 mm x 14.30 mm case in stainless steel with alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces and equipped with a fixed stainless steel bezel featuring a black ceramic insert with a tachymetric scale. 

The large screw-in crown is protected by two guards that are well integrated into the case design. Water resistance is ensured up to a pressure of 10 bar (100 metres / 330 feet)

Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with multi-layer anti-reflective coating on both sides, the dial showcases an anthracite background with black subdials: small seconds at 3 o'clock, 12-hour chronograph at 6 o'clock, and 30-minute chronograph at 9 o'clock.

The silver-polished hands and overlaid hour markers are coated with Super-LumiNova, emitting a blue glow in low-light conditions. For enhanced readability, the chronograph hands are highlighted in red, providing clear distinction at a glance.

Beneath the applied indexes, a snailed black ring adds depth to the design. Surrounding it, the minute track is divided into four segments to match the movement's 4 Hz frequency (28,800 vibrations per hour), allowing for precise reading when the chronograph seconds hand is stopped.

The emblem of the 48th FIS World Championships 2025, depicting a skier in action, is engraved at the center of the watch’s screw-down, angled case back. The inscriptions “SAALBACH 2025 - FIS ALPINE WORLD SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS” and “LIMITED EDITION - ONE OF 2025,” are engraved along the edge.

Powering the watch is the self-winding Calibre L898.5, a modular chronograph movement crafted from the ETA caliber A31.L01, made exclusively for Longines.

It features a silicon balance-spring, providing magnetic resistance ten times greater than the ISO 764 benchmark standard. The central oscillating mass builds a power reserve of 59 hours.

This limited edition chronograph is delivered with both a stainless steel bracelet with a triple‐security folding clasp and a black rubber strap featuring a double‐security folding clasp with a micro-adjustment system.
