A Definitive Everyday Watch For $2,000 Now At 38mm - Longines Conquest
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this video, I go hands-on to review the new Longines Conquest 38mm everyday watch. Listening to enthusiasts, Longines has followed up last year's successful release of the Conquest 2023 in 41mm with a new case diameter and lug-to-lug measurement that will better suit the masses. Is there a better everyday watch for around $2,000?

Longines is on Fire. Quality, heritage, looks and class.
I was waiting for this size to come out. Finally Longines did it!
Me too
I just fucking bought the bigger one and now they drop this -_-
The perfect size for me. I was gonna get the new Legend Diver but at this price, this Conquest at 38mm is the more logical choice for me. I'll definitely go see them.
Why? Do you have wrists like a 12 yr old girl! This is direct result of “D.E.I.”
First Tudor and now Longines? The new BB54??.. GHAY! Soo GHAY! Full of GHAYness
Why is it that all of a sudden all theese Napoleon Girly Boys now want to wear a nice watch?
Ditto!!! 🙏 Have been wanting to buy Longines for a long time and this model was 'it' until the size.
This one's a real winner for all the reasons you noted. Now we want to see a redesigned Longines Hydroconquest diver in 38-39!
👍
yeah, they should remove the 12,9,6 numbers, otherwise its kinda perfect
No it’s not a winner. It’s shite with no on the fly micro adjustment.
Longines is my favorite brand right now! They listen to the consumer!
Now with the 38, Longines just released the best, most value-packed GADA watch under $5000. Watch enthusiasts rejoice! 🎉
No need to buy rolex, omega
I am a watch enthusiast and are not rejoicing since a 38mm looks like childs watch on my arms...
@@hanro7430 then Great they have a 41 if you didn’t know!
@@hanro7430 They do offer the exact same watch in 41mm.
@@hanro7430 i have a 19,5cm wrist and I think 38mm is perfect 😂
people at longines know what they are doing . imo longines is the most underrated company among swiss watch companies.
Unbelievable stretch of releases we are seeing from them. I didn't even mention their flyback and the new central power reserve. Giuseppe Miccio, the head of product, deserves a lot of credit for simply getting what collectors want.
@@TeddyBaldassarre not pretending to be watch expert but i may understand and appreciate quality , and i owned many tissot and longines through my watch collecting journey among other swiss brands ( 30 + years) . and those 2 brands stood the test of time for design and quality . they don't get the kind of recognition they really deserve. and i wonder why ?
@@AMAMBT They´re part of the Swatch Group and the company decided to place them in their current market segment. The quality and price of the current catalogue is intended to compete with Tudor and similars, and not invade Omega´s space.
@@AMAMBT Swatch group owns Longines, Tissot, Omega amongst other big watch brands and they just want it that way. Most of the market is hype based, imo paying 4.000$ for a 40 years old datejust is insane, considering you can have a Longines, Tissot or Omega for 1.000$ at most.
@@TeddyBaldassarreoh my goodness that central power reserve piece is gorgeous. Giving that watch some airtime Teddy would be awesome
I am by no means a watch expert, but through your videos as a novice I've understood so much to fall in love with them over the last year. Have yet to pull the trigger on a first, everyday type watch but the Conquest 2023 38mm is by far the biggest standout in my eyes. So happy they added this size. May need to spoil myself with this at some point. 👀
Longines is my favorite watch brand. Always has been.
Actually went to the Longines store last year and was gutted at the 41mm. Patience is virtue!
It’s a brilliant beautiful watch. Longines quickly becoming my favorite watch company.
I think this is a serious step down from the previous Conquest in most aspects, which was a truly versatile watch. I understand differences of perspective on this, and don't state it as some scientific or universal opinion; I'm just very glad I got the previous model.
I fail to comprehend the description of "ultra aggressive" (!) crown guards on the previous model, or - as Teddy implies here - that 300m water resistance "somewhat thwarted the mass appealing objectives."
Mind you, I also note in previous videos of Teddy's this water resistance rating was considered a massive plus! And that suggests (among other things) that Teddy's views tend to conveniently align to what he can sell, in terms of active stock. I don't blame him; these videos, as most people realise, function as extended advertorials - but it's not pointless to indicate that perspectives tend to shift oddly in line with product line changes. I understand why he'd do that; it doesn't hurt to point out the inconsistencies sometimes. (I've noted it several times.) I still enjoy the channel enormously.
Totally agree with you!
I own the green 41mm and love it. very elegant and versatile watch. highly recommended
That champagne colorway is especially elegant! If I was just starting my collecting journey now, I’d likely purchase that one as my GADA!
I'd been waiting for them do release this. FINALLY!
fantastic job with this color palette. the typefaces choices are on point and well balanced.
Was considering Nivada Super Antarctic, Tudor BB39…I think this one does it for me. Great review, as always.
I have written many times on the Longines official website saying CONQUEST is your carrier and accessible series, you should definitely make it in 38 mm. And they did. Congratulations.
Me too 😂🎉
I am pretty sure I was one of the people commenting about the need for a 38mm variant. I tried the blue 41 on and while it fit my 7 inch wrist fine, I'd really prefer a bit smaller. It's good to see Longines finally came through. The champagne dial doesn't do much for me, but I like literally every other color available. This really is a good value in that dressy sport watch area. It's 1/3 the cost of the Aqua Terra, and certainly much more than 1/3 of that watch. The Aqua Terra is an excellent watch (my father has the 38mm variant), but the lack of micro adjust can be levied against that as well. Would it be nice if the lume was a bit better? Sure, but at least there is lume. This isn't the kind of watch where you're always depending on it after hours in the dark. Kudos to Longines for another release proving the brand is moving up in the watch world. Thanks for doing a video on this one, as I hadn't even heard about this release.
Yes, as an owner of an AT, I can see the massive value in this. You get probably 75% of the AT here at half the price. Great value, great watch.
Wow. Tough call between the green and champagne.
The green looks super nice in real life. Photos don't really do it justice.
@@colemannee9898 now you have me thinking. Lol. I had decided on the champagne but maybe i’ll reconsider.
I have green in 41mm gonna have to go look at this new champagne in person looks great
Literally every color they're offered in are fantastic...
I primarily collect green dials. Green dials make up the majority of my collection that aren't Casios, though I do have a green CasiOak G-Shock and a green non-G "Real CasiOak."
I had bought the 41mm version of this with the green dial before the 38mm came out. The size definitely was the only reservation I had about it, but it was still within an acceptable proportion to my 6.5 wrist and so I went for it.
Turns out I quite liked the fullness of it and still to this day marvel at how amazing of a watch it is.
All this being said, I'd get the 38mm 😂
Spot on Teddy - I was so close to buying this one but, being an Omega fanatic, I went with the saffron Aqua Terra...that being said, dollar for dollar this might be one of the best options in the under $4000 price point. Nice job Teddy as always!!
Thanks for the vids finally order from the website for my second watch 👍🏽
I am retiring in 3 weeks and was looking to buy Tudor. Now I’ll have to look at Longines. I like their history very much as well.
A Longines is certainly a fitting retirement gift, no doubt. Such an impressive and storied history which informs their truly amazing current collection portfolio. Underrated beyond belief this brand.
Ranked 7th among all Swiss watch brands. Well above Tudor.
Rolex, Cartier, Omega, AP, Patek, Richard Mille, Longines, and so on
Congrats on your retirement! If you haven't watched it yet, definitely check out the museum visit we had last year.
@@TeddyBaldassarre I will Teddy and I saw the video with you and Kevin O’Leary at Longines in Aventura which is not far from my house. I will be going there.
@@WillSavage Thanks Will 🍻👍🏻
Love nkuwan the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the watch. I don't think any other TH-camr can show off watches in as much detail as you.
Beautiful watch and it indeed ticks all boxes. Finally watches are available in normal sizes. It's also nice to have a selection of various colours. My favourite is the blue and the Champagne but I like all these colours...Actually the green looks also very nice.
Finally! Good work getting out the news this fast teddy! But how is this not even on the official longines site yet?!
Not sure what website you are looking at but it's been on the official one for at least a week.
Good review again. Nice watch - love my 37mm Champagne Spirit. Get going 🚀
Beautiful watch and a great price. That green dial is gorgeous
Torn between the green and black dials as an every day watch. They’re both so clean!
I got the 37mm Longines Spirit not too long ago and absolutely love it. But had this been out I would have strongly considered it.
OH WOW! I have a feeling this might be potential candidate as my new upgrade watch from my Tissot Gentleman 😯 Beautiful piece! I will definitely have to try this one on wrist soon 🔥😎
Very Nice! Thank You!
Looks like Vacheron Constantin Overseas on first look.
I love my 41mm with a 8.5" wrist but appreciate the proportions on the 38mm. Only thing I was disappointed with is the fitment of the pins in the bracelet. The one I received I had to add links to and you had to mix and match pins/links to find a combination where they all fit tightly.
I have the rectangular Dolce Vita and the 39mm Legend diver. I sold my 1918 Heritage because I didn’t want to have 3 Longines and shut the door on other brands. But honestly can easily collect only Longines. They have at least 5 of my favorite designs: their tuxedo dress watch, the classic sector, the heritage military… they release one stunner after another
Very beautiful especially green n sampagne dial 👍👍👍👍
Would love to see a comparison of this vs the spirit 37!
Longines! This watch is so nice, but on-the-fly micro adjust would have made it perfect!! 😍
Very nice release!
Just perfect, buying this for sure
Hi Ted. Amazing videos. Many thanks. I'm visiting LA and New York next month. Can you suggest me some shops for the watches you mentioned such as the Casios, Seiko, Glycine, Zenith, Laco Wempe etc. Thanks in advance.
Great video Teddy! Because of your videos I started to fall in love with watches, 4 years ago. I want to buy my first luxury watch and I'm between this watch, the Conquest 38 and the Spirit 37. Which one will be the best choice?
I love this direction! I hope they bring some of their two-tone Hydroconquest designs down to the 39mm version
I do own the old Longines conquest and I love it however that new champagne dial looks amazing. Might just be my next watch.
Impressive watch, great video - the green version is very attractive.
I love my 41mm black version. My fav watch.
the nkuwan would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!
These are awesome. I'd looooove to see a VHP version of this new design!
I'm happy to rock the green 41mm. I do love 38mm size watches, but this watch act great in both sizes.
Beautiful colors.
Love this!
Absolutely stunning. I've been wanting an Aqua Terra, but I think may get this instead.
I would love to see Longines introduce this version of the Conquest in VHP Quartz.
Reminds me of VC's overseas model. Lovely watch!
I buy it yesterday ❤ just perfect! Blue dial
Would love you to take a look at the new Conquest Chrono if possible. The champagne dial variant of that watch is truly beautiful!
Longines is really coming out with releases with arguably the best value proposition for mechanical watches: the Legend Diver, Conquest, HydroConquest, Spirit, and so forth. Now this new Conquest at 38mm with a display case back, and all the refinements - very tempting. Just waiting to see if the HydroConquest GMT will come out at 38-39...
Should have kept brown dial
Such a good looking watch and definitely one I'm thinking of purchasing. Just can't make my mind up between that the Christopher Ward Twelve...
i have had the 41mm in white since the beginning of the year and i think it is simply beautiful. 😍
i have a diameter of 19.5
Absolutely phenomenal watch. I assure you the video doesn't do justice to how amazing the watch looks in reality. You have to see it for yourself! I just bought the white dial version, absolutely 0 regrets. This watch is 100% worth it especially if you don't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money but still want to get a great watch.
That Champagne colored dial is spectacular.
Now I want to see "HydroConquest GMT" in 38mm 😀
Or even 39mm
Once you go 40-42 mm, nothing else will seem consequential.
Id like it without the GMT in that size. I don’t understand a GMT diver
@@andrews527 I can’t comment anything on this since my wrist size is just 6 inches 🥲
@@drkesrf then you can go with zulu gmt I guess. I like this this two-in-one functionality as the bezel is gmt is not often used so replacing with diver bezel seems a good idea in my opinion.
Such a beautiful watch! I love the 38mm. I've been waiting for it since the release of the 41 (too big for that architecture). Why Zenith doesn't do the same thing with the Defy? Come on!!!!
Thank you for your always interesting content!!!
Love your videos!
Please make a review for Longines the master collection Master 40mm Silver Dial Blue Roman Numerals Watch.
Thank you!
Ask and you shall receive... Green is the standout in my opinion. I do wish it had a normal clasp with on the fly adjustment though. Overall, these are fantastic watches.
The new dial help me to recall the dial of Rolex Datejust 1601 a bit, what a classy design.
Longines is killing it. Conquest, Spirit Zulu GMT, Record chrono and a Master Moonphase is a great bases-covered collection within the brand.
It is great value when one considers the long term history of the brand. The lack of an on the fly adjustment on the bracelet (as executed so brilliantly with the IWC PILOT XX but at twice the price) might be a deal breaker for me....but I will certainly be visiting my local dealer to see and feel the watch on my wrist - that's the moment.
I had my eye on this for some time now. But I already have four Longines. Do I need yet another? Methinks yes!😁
Longines is doing an incredible job. The updated versions of the hydroconquest and the conquest are hands down the best updates I’ve seen of any watch.
I’m sorry which one is the updated hydroconquest? Haven’t they been in the market for years?
@@d.orayaki5567 GMT
The Champagne dial is awsome. Now we have a issue. Will it be available in 41mm as well ?
The small size train keeps rolling and is picking up steam! I got on board a year or two ago. I have two Longines dress watches with aviation watch elements incorporated into them that I love. Both are 38mm and are starting to seem big! I kinda wish I could shave 1mm off of one of them and 2mm off the other. Oh well. I love your videos Teddy!
This was needed, at 38mm I will likely buy, great size!
The 37mm spirit also launched last year i think. My personal favorite and I wish it got a callout!
Teddy, my 50th birthday is coming up soon! Looks like I am buying this in blue from you!!
The updated Conquest Chronograph is equally spectacular. It is 42mm, which will put off some, but the piece is really beautifully done, especially the "Sunray Brown" dial.
A very nice offering at a good size. My only issue is the butterfly clasp. Microadjustment is so important/useful, and to have to rely on removing half links is just too inconvenient. 19 mm lug width is not ideal, but sometimes the design warrants it. So, not that bothered by that.
Finally. DJ for the masses.
Fantastic Watch!
I like the new background 👍🏽
I would love to see the return of the VHP movement. I have a Conquest VHP and it is one of my favorite daily drivers and travel watches. Super accurate and perpetual calendar is nice plus jumping hours for travel. The new dial design just doesn't do it for me though. Maybe I miss the numerals.
Fingers crossed for quartz options in future.
Love the green
looks like an amazing everyday.
Been waiting on this, I am buying this. My wife better leave me alone 😁
This is an excellent development.
Very nice indeed ❤
This is perfection. PERIOD....🎉
Now that they have a 38 mm version, and I am seriously considering purchasing it, but am still debating between that and the Formex Essence 39. I think I am leaning toward the Conquest, as I feel more comfortable buying a major brand. Any thoughts? For now, I will just have the one watch for business casual, jeans, and suit and tie. Thanks
Love this release, I would get the green dial. My only gripe is the lug width, why 19mm? I like to swap straps frequently and all of my other watches (all 38 or 39 mm), have 20mm lug width so I have probably 30 straps in that size, and zero 19mm.
This is a perfect watch 👌👌💯
Teddy can you do a video on the Hydroconquest GMT in the new 43mm case
Longines on a roll. I have the Hydro 39mm ceramic and black sector dial. The 38 champagne could be next
I have have the HydroConquest 39mm ceramic as well. Maybe we're one of the few who like the large Arabic numerals.
thinking about hydro 39mm ceramic blue myself!
@@randkjournal I believe the large 12-6-9 give the Hydro design distinctiveness in a sea of Submariner copycats. Looks especially good in 39mm version
I was considering the Black Bay 39, but now I think this is it. It is better value for money.
longines conquest heritage is amazing.. a homage to the classic dress watch that is a bit smaller... with leather
Awesome! Next stop, Tissot Gentleman 38mm?
36mm, cmon do it!!!!
How does teddy get the review out before they’re even on the website 😂 what a legend
I knew Longines was going to release it in 38mm. Can’t wait to pick one up for myself if I continue to work as a Longines AD, if I get accepted to that new fancy job, maybe I won’t and just pay off my seiko first haha.
i’m looking to buy a hydro conquest automatic soon
thoughts?
