This event offered a great opportunity to discover Conquest Classic, a line of Longines timepieces dedicated to the equestrian world. The Official Watch of the Longines Global Champions Tour of Miami Beach was a lady model in steel from this collection. Set with 30 diamonds, it houses a mechanical calibre and displays a dial of white mother-of-pearl. Just as the entire Conquest Classic line, the screw-down case back of this timepiece is fitted with a sapphire glass.
Longines’ involvement in equestrian sports dates back to 1878, when the Swiss watch brand produced a chronograph engraved with a jockey and his mount. Since 1912, Longines has been partnering with show jumping events. Today, it is an official partner of the world’s most famous and prestigious equestrian competitions.
