As the official timekeeper for the 48th FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, Longines has unveiled a special edition Conquest chronograph to celebrate and commemorate the biennial sporting event.
Called the Conquest Chrono Ski Edition, this reference is housed in a 42mm stainless steel body, with glossy and satin alternative finishes. A black ceramic bezel is set, mirroring the trio of subcounters set against an anthracite dial. The grayscale-oriented palette has bits of bright red, while Super-LumiNova® is used on the indices, as well as on the tip of the central chrono seconds hands for optimal readability.
The watch is powered by the L898.5 caliber, with magnetic resistance and up to 56 hours of continuous running time. On the caseback, a skier in action is depicted in the form of a large engraving, while the engravings “SAALBACH 2025-FIS ALPINE WORLD SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS” and “LIMITED EDITION – ONE OF 2025” surround the image.
The biennial championship will be held from February 4-16, 2025 in Saalbach/Salzburgerland. Listed at $4,300 USD via the brand's webstore, the Longines Conquest Chrono Ski Edition will be released in a limited production of 2,025 examples. In addition to the stainless steel bracelet, the timepiece also comes with a black rubber strap with a double-security folding clasp.
