Longines Conquest
Longines HydroConquest

Longines Record
The Longines Master Collection
The Longines Conquest is the most versatile watch in this selection, built as an everyday sports watch without losing the clean finish expected of a luxury Swiss timepiece. This 41mm reference pairs a stainless-steel case with a blue sunray dial and blue rubber strap, while the automatic movement offers a 72-hour power reserve. Longines also gives it a screw-in crown, sapphire crystal and 10-bar water resistance, making it suited to everyday wear as well as more active settings. The collection itself dates back to 1954, when Longines registered Conquest as its first collection with a protected name.
Longines Conquest L3.830.4.92.9 Price: ₹2,25,000
The Longines HydroConquest takes the brand firmly into dive-watch territory. This 43mm stainless-steel model has a ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal and a unidirectional rotating bezel, alongside a screw-in crown and screw-down case back. Its automatic movement provides a 64-hour power reserve, while the case is rated to 30 bar, equivalent to 300 metres of water resistance. The grey dial and steel bracelet keep the watch relatively understated despite its substantial dimensions, giving the model a more versatile character beyond its sporting specifications. Kapoor Watch Co currently lists the reference at ₹2,04,000 in India.
Longines HydroConquest L3.782.4.76.6 Price: ₹2,04,000
The Longines Spirit brings the brand’s aviation heritage into a contemporary 40mm format. This reference features a matte black dial, stainless-steel case and bracelet, with applied Arabic numerals, Super-LumiNova and a date display. Its automatic movement uses a monocrystalline silicon balance spring and offers a power reserve of up to 72 hours. Longines also states that the movements in the Spirit collection are COSC chronometer-certified. The watch has a screw-in crown and 10-bar water resistance, giving the aviation-inspired design a practical everyday specification. Kapoor Watch Co lists this men's model at ₹2,53,000.
Longines Spirit L3.810.4.53.6 Price: ₹2,53,000
The Longines Record takes a more classically styled route, but its mechanics put precision firmly at the centre. This 40mm stainless-steel reference has a white matte dial, date display and steel bracelet, with sapphire crystal protecting the case. Its automatic movement uses a monocrystalline silicon balance spring and is chronometer-certified by COSC, while the power reserve extends to 72 hours. Longines positions the Record collection around precision and traditional watchmaking, making this a natural choice for men looking for a more formal alternative to the sportier Conquest and HydroConquest.
Longines Record L2.821.4.11.6 Price: ₹2,52,000
The Longines Master Collection represents the most traditional watchmaking option in this five-watch selection. This 42mm stainless-steel model uses a silver dial with a textured barleycorn pattern, blue hands and applied Arabic numerals, paired with a leather strap. Inside is an automatic movement with a 64-hour power reserve, while the watch includes a date display and sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment. Longines introduced the Master Collection in 2005, and the range has since become one of the brand's central expressions of classical mechanical watchmaking. Kapoor Watch Co currently lists this men's reference at ₹2,60,000.
