Longines Conquest 1558-2, Cal. 6942 Men's Watch, 1971

Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9 give the brushed silver dial of this 1971 Longines Conquest a clear four-point structure. Reference 1558-2 combines that display with a softly tonneau-shaped steel case and manual-wind caliber 6942. A new high-quality handmade dark blue leather strap adds color to the otherwise restrained men’s watch.

Quarter-hour numerals and brushed silver dial

The silver surface catches light softly across its brushed finish. Applied baton markers frame the minute track, with Arabic numerals at the four quarter-hour positions. The four numerals act as clear visual reference points within the baton-marker layout.

Long narrow hands keep the center open. The printed Longines signature and cursive Conquest text distinguish the model without crowding the display. These details, together with the silver finish, create a restrained face organized around the contrasting marker shapes.

Soft tonneau outline with defined steel edges

The stainless steel case of this vintage Longines watch measures 36 mm across and 40 mm from lug to lug. Its shape moves beyond a simple round outline into a softer tonneau profile. The width and overall span give a practical picture of its compact wrist coverage.

Broad brushed upper surfaces meet polished flanks, defining the edges of the case. A discreet bezel allows the dial to occupy most of the front view, while the side profile remains relatively slim. The proportionate crown keeps the exterior outline uninterrupted.

A new high-quality handmade dark blue leather strap fits the 18 mm lug opening. Its deeper color contrasts with the brushed silver dial and steel surfaces, adding a distinct color choice to the wrist presentation. The strap is a replacement accessory; the watch-head components are original.

Hand-wound Longines caliber 6942

The Longines caliber 6942 is a manual-wind mechanical movement.

This used example is fully serviced and fully operational, with its original watch-head components retained. It comes with a 12-month warranty.
