Longines Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve

A new light blue opaline dial gives Longines’s vintage-inspired power-reserve watch a softer, more casual face.

Longines has added a light blue opaline dial to its Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve, reference L1.648.4.92.6 (reported). The model is defined by its unusual power-reserve display: rather than a hand pointing along an arc, a set of rotating discs at the center of the dial reveals how much wind is left, a mechanism drawn from a patent Longines dates to 1959.

The case measures 38mm and houses an automatic movement, keeping the proportions that made the original piece feel period-correct when the Conquest Heritage line returned in 2024 for the Conquest collection’s 70th anniversary. Pricing for this specific dial hasn’t been confirmed, though the wider Conquest Heritage range starts around $3,300.

What makes this worth flagging is less the color than the timing: Hodinkee and Monochrome Watches both covered the release the same day, July 2, 2026, lending confidence that this is a genuinely new addition rather than old stock resurfacing. For a watch built on a mechanism this distinctive, a lighter dial is a small but meaningful shift, opening the piece up to wear beyond strictly formal settings.
