LONGINES

CONQUEST V.H.P GOLD COAST 2018 COMMONWEALTH GAMES

The special edition timepiece is meant as a tribute to the XXI Commonwealth Games. Longines took this opportunity to revisit the success story from the 1980s, when the Conquest V.H.P (Very High Precision) marked the watchmaker’s return to a technology it has been a pioneer and expert of. Longines has earned its title as the official partner and timekeeper of the Games, equipped with an exclusive movement renowned for its high degree of precision for an analog watch (± 5 s/yr), and the GPD (gear position detection) system that resets its hands after an impact or exposure to a magnetic field. The 43mm case boasts the bright colours of the event: a black dial with a red V.H.P. mention, orange indexes and blue accents on the watch hands, dial and flange indexes, alongside the blue Koala mascot, and the engraving of the Gold Coast 2018 logo and “Gold Coast 2018 XXI Commonwealth Games” on the caseback.
